Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a skid plate and why do I need one for my RC crawler? — A skid plate is a protective guard that mounts to the underside of your RC chassis, creating a barrier between the chassis components and the ground. When you're driving your RC car UK over rocks, roots, and rough terrain, impacts are inevitable. The skid plate absorbs these impacts, protecting your chassis structure, motor mounts, battery tray, and electronics from damage. Without a skid plate, these expensive components can crack or break during aggressive driving, resulting in costly repairs. For rock crawling, trail running, and technical off-road driving, a skid plate is an essential protection investment.
• Is this the correct skid plate for my Capra 1.9 UTB? — Yes, this is the genuine Axial OEM skid plate specifically engineered for the Capra 1.9 UTB chassis. The part number Z-AXI231005 is the correct specification for this vehicle. Using the manufacturer's own parts ensures perfect fitment without modification and maintains compatibility with your original chassis design.
• How difficult is it to install this skid plate? — Installation is straightforward and requires only basic tools. As a genuine OEM part designed specifically for the Capra 1.9 UTB, it mounts directly to the existing attachment points on your chassis without any modification, shimming, or adjustment. Most users can complete installation in under 30 minutes with standard hobby tools.
• Will this skid plate fit other Axial models? — This skid plate is specifically designed for the Capra 1.9 UTB platform. It is not a universal part and should not be forced onto other Axial models, as fitment may be incorrect and performance compromised. Always verify you are purchasing the correct part number for your specific vehicle model.
• Do I need to replace my skid plate regularly? — Skid plates are designed to absorb impacts and will eventually show wear and damage depending on your driving style and terrain difficulty. If your current skid plate is cracked, broken, or no longer providing adequate protection, replacement is recommended. Even minor cracks can expand under continued use, compromising protection effectiveness.
• Is this an authentic Axial part or a copy? — This is a genuine OEM Axial part, not an aftermarket imitation. It carries the official Axial part number Z-AXI231005 and comes from authorised retailers. Genuine parts offer superior quality, perfect fitment, and warranty support compared to third-party alternatives.
