This aluminium lower gear cover skid plate is intended for the Axial SCX24 1/24 scale 4WD chassis and provides a robust shield beneath the gearbox and lower drive components to minimise contact with stones, roots and trail debris when crawling.
The unit is compatible only with SCX24-type Axial Racing chassis as named in the product title. It comes in a black finish and is styled as a scale accessory to protect the under-gear assemblies during trail and crawling runs.
Fitting is simple for competent hobbyists: the plate fastens to existing lower mounting points on the chassis without the need for permanent modification. Always verify axle travel and steering clearance before final tightening to avoid binding issues.
Notes on setup: a metal lower cover alters chassis-obstacle interaction by presenting a harder sliding surface under the gearbox; this can reduce damage risk but may add a modest amount of weight low in the model. Fit when the priority is protection and check clearance after full suspension movement.
