Key Features
- Machined Brass Construction — The solid brass material is carefully machined to exacting tolerances, providing superior durability compared to plastic alternatives and ensuring your skid plate will withstand the demands of serious crawling without cracking or breaking under stress.
- Optimised Weight Distribution — By adding 19.5g of mass positioned low in the chassis, this upgrade delivers a much lower and improved centre of gravity, which enhances stability, traction and overall handling characteristics of your AX24 crawler.
- AX24 Platform Compatibility — This skid plate is engineered exclusively for the Axial AX24 platform and will not fit the SCX24, ensuring you receive a component that is a perfect fit for your specific crawler model.
- Enhanced Chassis Protection — The solid brass skid plate acts as a protective barrier for the underside of your chassis, guarding against impacts, debris and abrasion during aggressive off-road crawling sessions.
Technical Performance
The AXIAL Chassis Skid Plate represents a focused approach to performance tuning for 1/24 scale RC crawlers. The machined brass construction delivers multiple performance benefits simultaneously. The 19.5g weight addition is strategically positioned to lower the vehicle's centre of gravity, a critical factor in improving stability and traction on technical terrain. In crawling applications where precision weight distribution matters, this targeted approach makes a measurable difference in how your AX24 responds to demanding obstacle courses and uneven ground. The solid brass material is significantly more durable than plastic alternatives, meaning this component will maintain its integrity through countless climbing sessions, rock gardens and challenging terrain that would wear down lighter materials. For UK RC crawler enthusiasts who demand authentic Axial engineering and proven performance upgrades, this skid plate delivers both immediate and long-term value. The precision machining ensures perfect fitment within the AX24 platform, with no modification required during installation.
