Overview

The RC Overhaul Skid Plate Guard F/R for the 1/18 GRANITE GROM is an essential protective upgrade for anyone serious about extending the life of their RC car UK investment. Whether you're a weekend basher exploring rough terrain or a competitive racer pushing your monster truck to the limit, the underside of your chassis faces constant impact from rocks, kerbs, and obstacles. This stainless steel skid plate guard system provides comprehensive armour plating that shields both the front and rear of your Granite Grom chassis, keeping critical components safe from damage whilst maintaining the authentic appearance of your ready to run RC model.

Designed and manufactured by RC Overhaul, these skid guards represent the perfect balance between robust protection and practical engineering. The accurately machined construction means each plate is precisely engineered to fit your 1/18 Granite Grom without modification or complicated installation. For RC enthusiasts in the UK looking to upgrade their brushed 4WD monster truck with genuine, quality aftermarket components, this is the ideal solution. The guards use the existing screw mounting points on your chassis, meaning installation is straightforward and requires no drilling or permanent modifications.

When you're running an Arrma 1/18 GRANITE GROM MEGA 380 Brushed 4X4 Monster Truck RTR, protecting your investment makes complete sense. The underside of any RC car is vulnerable, and a single heavy landing or collision with a rock can cause expensive damage to the chassis, suspension components, and electronics. These stainless steel skid guards are your first line of defence, absorbing impacts and protecting what matters most.

Key Features

• Accurately Machined Stainless Steel Construction — These skid plates are not stamped or bent generic guards; they are precisely engineered from quality stainless steel to exact specifications for your Granite Grom, ensuring they fit perfectly and provide maximum protection without rattling or shifting during aggressive driving.
• Front and Rear Coverage — The set includes both front and rear skid guards, providing comprehensive armour plating for the entire underside of your chassis so you can bash with confidence knowing every vulnerable area is protected.
• Uses Existing Screw Mounting Points — Installation is quick and easy because these guards utilise the factory screw holes already present on your Granite Grom chassis, meaning no drilling, no modifications, and no permanent alterations to your RC car.
• Durable Stainless Steel Material — Stainless steel resists corrosion and oxidation far better than standard steel or aluminium alternatives, so your skid guards will maintain their appearance and structural integrity even after exposure to moisture, mud, and rough conditions typical of UK RC driving.
• Simple Installation — Whether you're a seasoned competitor or new to RC car upgrades, fitting these guards is a straightforward task that requires only basic tools and minimal mechanical knowledge, making it an ideal first modification for any Granite Grom owner.

Technical Performance

These skid plate guards are engineered for the 1/18 Granite Grom chassis and manufactured from high-quality stainless steel selected specifically for its strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. The accurate machining ensures that each plate sits flush against the chassis without gaps or misalignment that could compromise protection. Stainless steel offers superior durability compared to cheaper alternatives, maintaining structural integrity even after repeated impacts. The front plate protects the nose area and lower chassis section from rocky terrain and obstacles encountered during aggressive forward driving, whilst the rear plate guards the rear suspension and battery area as your RC car lands hard from jumps or reverses through challenging terrain. By distributing impact forces across a larger surface area rather than allowing direct contact with individual chassis components, these guards significantly reduce the risk of expensive damage to suspension arms, servo mounts, and the plastic chassis itself. The use of existing screw holes means zero modification to your Granite Grom, preserving the structural integrity of the chassis and maintaining full compatibility with the factory design. Installation is completed using standard RC tools, typically requiring only a few minutes per plate, making this an ideal upgrade for weekend warriors and competitive drivers alike who want maximum protection with minimum hassle.
