Technical Performance
The AXIAL Skid Plate Center is manufactured from durable polymer composite material selected for its impact resistance and ability to absorb impacts from rocks and terrain obstacles without cracking or shattering. Axial's engineering approach to protective components balances lightweight construction with rugged durability, ensuring the skid plate absorbs impacts effectively whilst minimising additional weight that would affect the sensitive balance and performance characteristics of a precision scale crawler. The centre skid plate protects the middle section of the chassis where critical components like links, differential housings, and transmission mounts are located. Scale crawlers like the SCX10 PRO are engineered for slow-speed technical navigation over realistic terrain, requiring protection of every vulnerable component. The skid plate mounts securely to the chassis frame using existing mounting points, maintaining the vehicle's geometry and suspension kinematics. For competition scaling events and serious trail work across UK terrain, this replacement component is a must-have consumable item, as impacts and damage are common during technical descents, rock gardens, and obstacle courses.
