Technical Performance
The Pro-Line Bash Armor Front/Rear Skid Plates are engineered using high-strength nylon material that has been proven to withstand the rigorous demands of RC bashing and racing. The material selection is critical – nylon offers the perfect balance between impact absorption and structural rigidity, meaning the skid plates flex slightly on impact to dissipate energy rather than transferring it directly to your chassis. This engineering approach protects your stock ARRMA chassis from expensive damage whilst maintaining the integrity of your vehicle's core structure. The skid plates are designed as a complete set with separate front and rear pieces, allowing them to protect the full length of your chassis from the bumper to the rear. Installation is achieved through pre-drilled holes and supplied fasteners – specifically M3x12 flat head cap screws and M4x20 flat head cap screws – ensuring secure, vibration-resistant attachment that will maintain its integrity through thousands of bashing impacts. The red colour finish is vibrant and durable, resisting fading from UV exposure during outdoor use. These parts are manufactured to Pro-Line's exacting standards in the USA, where they have been producing performance upgrades for RC vehicles for over four decades, ensuring you receive a product that meets rigorous quality control and performance specifications.
