Overview
The ARRMA Steel Skid (Z-ARA320625) is an essential chassis protection component designed specifically for ARRMA 6S RC models. This precision-engineered rear skid plate offers comprehensive protection from impacts, skids and scrapes that naturally occur during aggressive RC driving. Whether you're bashing around your local park or tackling challenging terrain, this stainless steel skid plate acts as a sacrificial barrier between your expensive chassis and the ground, significantly extending the operational lifespan of your RC vehicle. The Steel Skid is an ideal upgrade for any RC enthusiast in the UK who wants to reduce maintenance costs and keep their ARRMA 6S model in pristine condition.
Built from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, this skid plate combines durability with longevity. The material resists rust and oxidation, making it suitable for all-weather RC driving throughout the UK climate. Installation is straightforward and requires no modification to your vehicle—the skid simply bolts in place using your existing vehicle fasteners, making it perfect for RC car UK enthusiasts of all skill levels. This is a genuine ARRMA part manufactured to the exact specifications required for seamless compatibility with compatible 6S models.
If you own an ARRMA Kraton 6S, Talion 6S, or Typhon 6S, this steel skid plate is a must-have upgrade that delivers real value. Rather than replacing damaged chassis components after hard impacts, invest in this protective piece upfront and enjoy your RC driving without worry. At RC Model Shop, we stock genuine ARRMA parts for all your tuning and maintenance needs.
Key Features
- Corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction — Manufactured from premium stainless steel that resists rust and oxidation, ensuring the skid plate maintains its protective properties and appearance even after repeated exposure to moisture and dirt common in UK driving conditions.
- 1.5mm thick material — The skid plate is precisely engineered at 1.5mm thickness, providing a robust barrier against impacts and abrasion whilst maintaining lightweight efficiency without adding unnecessary weight to your RC model.
- Rear chassis protection — Specifically designed to protect the rear of your chassis from wear and tear caused by dragging, scraping and impacts during cornering, acceleration and aggressive driving manoeuvres.
- Easy installation with existing fasteners — The skid plate bolts securely in place using the existing vehicle fasteners already present on your ARRMA 6S model, eliminating the need for additional hardware or complex installation procedures.
- Prolongs chassis life — By absorbing and deflecting impacts that would otherwise damage the main chassis structure, this skid plate significantly extends the overall lifespan of your RC vehicle, reducing repair and replacement costs over time.
- Precision manufactured — Each skid plate is precision-engineered to exact ARRMA specifications, guaranteeing perfect fit and alignment with your compatible 6S model without any modification required.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Steel Skid represents a practical investment in chassis longevity and durability. Manufactured from premium stainless steel at 1.5mm thickness, this component offers genuine protection for the rear of your chassis without compromising the performance characteristics of your RC model. The material selection is particularly important for RC enthusiasts in the UK, where exposure to wet conditions and saltwater spray near coastal areas can quickly degrade unprotected steel components. Stainless steel resists this corrosion, meaning your skid plate will remain functional and visually acceptable for seasons of use. The precision manufacturing ensures that the component integrates seamlessly with your existing ARRMA 6S platform, with bolt-hole alignment matching exactly with the factory-provided fastening points. Installation requires no drilling, cutting or modification—a straightforward bolt-on upgrade that takes minutes to complete. The 1.5mm thickness represents the optimal balance between protective capability and weight efficiency; thicker materials would add unnecessary mass whilst thinner materials would compromise the protective function. This skid plate is compatible with ARRMA 6S models including the Kraton 6S EXB, Talion 6S EXB, and Typhon 6S V5 BLX, representing ARRMA's high-performance and popular brushless RC truck range.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will the ARRMA Steel Skid fit my ARRMA RC truck? — Yes, this skid plate is specifically designed for ARRMA 6S models including the Kraton 6S EXB, Talion 6S EXB, and Typhon 6S V5 BLX. Check your vehicle's model designation to confirm compatibility before purchase.
- Do I need any additional hardware to install this skid plate? — No, the Steel Skid bolts directly to your existing ARRMA 6S using the vehicle's factory-provided fasteners. No additional tools or parts are required beyond what you already have.
- Is this a genuine ARRMA part? — Yes, the Z-ARA320625 is a genuine ARRMA accessory manufactured to exact OEM specifications and sold through authorised retailers like RC Model Shop.
- How much protection does the skid plate actually provide? — The 1.5mm stainless steel construction absorbs impacts and deflects objects that would otherwise contact the main chassis, protecting critical components from damage. It acts as a sacrificial barrier, meaning minor scrapes and impacts affect the skid plate rather than your chassis.
- Will this affect my RC truck's performance or handling? — No, the skid plate is a passive protective component that does not interfere with steering, acceleration, suspension or any performance characteristics. The addition of a single protective component has negligible weight impact.
- Why is stainless steel better than regular steel for this application? — Stainless steel resists rust and corrosion from moisture, dirt and salt exposure common in UK driving conditions. This means your skid plate remains protective and visually acceptable for longer, whereas regular steel would gradually deteriorate and lose effectiveness.
- Can I easily remove the skid plate if needed? — Yes, since it bolts in place using existing fasteners, you can remove it at any time if necessary. No permanent modifications are made to your vehicle.
