Key Features
- Tough Composite Construction — The skid plate is manufactured from heavy-duty composite material that effectively absorbs impacts and deflects debris, protecting your Sledge's expensive aluminium chassis from scrapes and damage during aggressive bashing or competitive driving sessions.
- Perfect Factory Fit — This protective skid plate has been designed to align perfectly with your Sledge's existing mounting holes, eliminating the need for drilling, modification or custom fitting that often leads to poorly aligned protection that compromises appearance and performance.
- Includes Longer Attachment Screws — The kit comes complete with longer attachment screws that are specifically required for mounting the skid plate to the chassis, ensuring you have everything needed for installation without requiring a trip to your local hobby shop for additional hardware.
- Available in Multiple Vibrant Colours — Beyond this green option, Traxxas offers this protective skid plate in several bright colours, allowing you to match your Sledge's colour scheme whether you own the green, red, blue or orange variant of this iconic 1/8 scale monster truck.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas Skid plate, Chassis, Green (TRX9623G) is engineered from premium composite material specifically chosen for its impact resistance and durability. The composite construction provides superior protection compared to softer materials, absorbing impacts from jumps, crashes and aggressive driving without deforming or cracking under typical bashing conditions. The skid plate's design has been optimised to work with the Sledge's aluminium chassis frame, a critical component that houses your brushless motor electronics, receivers and drivetrain components. By protecting this chassis from direct contact with rocks, roots, curbs and other obstacles encountered during off-road driving, the skid plate significantly extends the operational lifespan of your truck and reduces the risk of costly damage to internal components. The precision manufacturing ensures that the skid plate aligns perfectly with existing mounting points, maintaining the truck's original geometry and handling characteristics whilst adding robust protection. Installation is straightforward thanks to the included longer attachment screws, which are engineered to penetrate through both the composite skid plate and into the chassis mounting points without damage to either component.
