The Axial Racing SCX-10 Aluminum Skid Plate & Linkage Set is an RC-scale replacement kit that swaps flexible plastic underbody pieces for machined aluminum components to boost chassis protection and lower-link stability on SCX-10 crawlers.
This kit concentrates on two main roles: a skid plate to shield the chassis belly from trail impacts and abrasion, and metal lower links that keep suspension geometry more consistent under load versus stock plastic links. The parts are intended for practical tuning and durability improvements rather than visual customization.
Installation notes: parts are produced for Axial SCX-10 mounting points, and correct fit relies on matching factory hole patterns and mount spacings. Use the vehicle's original hardware where appropriate, check alignment before final tightening, and confirm suspension articulation through its full travel after installation. No special tools are required beyond common hobby hex drivers and spanners.
Maintenance and tuning: recheck fastener torque after initial runs, keep contact surfaces clear of grit, and retorque as needed. Replacing plastic links with aluminum will reduce flex and can alter chassis feedback; plan small shock or anti-roll adjustments to restore the desired balance.
For builders seeking improved underside protection and firmer link performance on Axial SCX-10 rigs, this aluminum skid and linkage set offers a straightforward upgrade with hobby-level installation and tuning requirements.
