This aluminium centre skid plate is an aftermarket replacement intended for the Gmade 1/10 R1 Rock Buggy chassis. Supplied as a one-piece unit, it mounts to the central chassis area to protect vulnerable underside components during rock crawling and tight trail work.
The plate provides protection and promotes sliding over obstacles rather than improving outright speed. It helps deflect direct impacts away from central drivetrain and electronics, and can alter how the buggy contacts rocks by changing the skid points. Installation is suited to hobbyists who can remove the bellypan and use the R1's original mounting points.
Consider it a functional upgrade that trades small changes in low-speed ground feel for better protection and predictability when negotiating technical terrain.
A simple, low-profile aftermarket skid for R1 owners who want to reduce underside damage and improve slide-over behaviour on rocky trails.
