Default Post pics of your tranny skid
Lets see what you have come up with. I have seen
a few here, but they are scattered all over.
Also somewhere Chris AKA "CrawlingAround" posted
that Venom will be coming out with one. I can't remember
where it is now. So if Chris can post here and keep us
updated that would be great also.

Knock yourself out (not literally!), also invert your shocks.... Any help to lower the C of G is always worth doing!

Here is mine, it is a RPM T-MAXX wear plate chopped abit shorter, and the holes line up great, so i just cut her to fit in there. She is slippery and slides over rocks easily! A must have mod

Thumbs up
UPDATE!!

Couldn't wait just hit the 'Rockery' in the garden, its got 3 big steps and the skid works perfect, the break over angle that the skid first gounds at was 1" behind the front as it meets the propshafts, so isn't ever an issue!, gonna make one out of 3mm delrin and symmetrical in shape so it moulds around the prop front and rear!!

I have tried a couple different things and this one works the best. It is just made out of aluminum and works great.
