- Body and roof coverage — Specifically designed to protect both the roof area and body panels of your E-Revo 2.0, these skid plates absorb and distribute impact forces away from critical chassis and structural components.
- Easy installation — Compatible with standard E-Revo 2.0 mounting points, these skid plates integrate seamlessly with your existing vehicle setup without requiring modifications or additional components.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas TRX8617 roof skid plate set represents proven engineering designed specifically for the E-Revo 2.0 platform, one of Traxxas's premium brushless RC monster trucks. These protective plates are manufactured to the same exacting standards as the vehicle itself, ensuring dimensional accuracy and perfect fitment with your existing body and chassis components. The inclusion of stainless steel 3x12mm fasteners is particularly significant—stainless steel resists corrosion far better than standard steel, meaning your installation will remain secure and rattle-free even after exposure to moisture, salt spray from coastal driving, or damp UK weather conditions. The four-piece configuration allows for strategic placement across vulnerable roof and body areas, distributing protective coverage where impacts are most likely to occur during high-speed runs, jumps and aggressive bashing. This is genuine Traxxas specification equipment, not an aftermarket substitute, so you can be confident in its durability and compatibility with your E-Revo 2.0's mounting systems and structural design.
