The Axial Racing SCX-10 Aluminum Skid Plate & Linkage Set replaces stock plastic underbody components with machined aluminium pieces to enhance chassis protection and stabilise lower-link geometry on SCX-10 crawlers.
The skid plate guards the chassis belly from impacts and abrasion encountered on trails, while the aluminium lower links provide steadier geometry under load than flexible plastic links. These components are supplied to improve durability and tuning capability rather than purely to change looks.
Installation notes: manufactured for Axial SCX-10 mounting points, fit depends on matching the original hole patterns and mount spacings. Retain original hardware where practical, verify part alignment before final tightening, and check suspension articulation through its full range after installation. Typical hobby hex drivers and wrenches are adequate for fitting.
Maintenance and setup: inspect fastener torque after the first runs, keep contact faces free of grit, and retorque as required. Converting from plastic to aluminium links will alter compliance and may call for modest shock or anti-roll adjustments to recover the desired handling.
For UK hobbyists and model builders wanting a tougher underside and firmer link performance on Axial SCX-10 models, this aluminium skid and linkage set presents a straightforward, tuneable upgrade.
