New take on old skids

[callaway]

I was getting fed up with the plastic skid plates getting torn up and, as I don't really want to do a tummy tuck I was also annoyed when that plastic there started getting scratches.

SO

one day I took the scorpion and made up some aluminum skids...

Profile view...

Front view...

View from underneath...

Front and rear skids use stock skidplate screws... (these screws should really be flush =/ )

Tummy skid uses 'industrial' Velcro...

Scratches in all their glory...

looks pretty cool, good work. I still dont see what is wrong with the plastic getting scratched up but to each his own I guess.

it didn't make me feel good inside knowing i was knowingly destroying the scorp when i went over obstacles.

plus scratches on metal look cool

x2, i just see scratches as "character"; but still that is nice clean work and looks good callaway;-)
