Overview
The Traxxas Skid plate, front (1), rear (1) TRX10244 is an essential replacement chassis spare part designed specifically for the Traxxas Maxx Slash 1/8 4WD 6S Brushless Short Course Truck. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast in the UK looking to maintain your high-performance short course truck or someone who has experienced impact damage during intense bashing sessions, these replacement skid plates are the genuine Traxxas solution you need. Short course trucks are built for aggressive off-road performance, and the undercarriage takes considerable punishment during typical use. These OEM Traxxas skid plates provide essential protection for your chassis and drivetrain components.
As an authorised Traxxas retailer serving the UK RC community, RC Model Shop stocks genuine replacement parts that ensure your Maxx Slash continues to perform at its best. The Maxx Slash has earned its reputation as one of the most durable and capable 1/8 scale short course trucks available, and maintaining it with authentic Traxxas spares is the best way to preserve that performance and longevity. Skid plates are critical protection components that shield vulnerable underside elements from rocks, roots, jumps and general wear during outdoor driving.
Key Features
- OEM Traxxas Design — These skid plates are manufactured by Traxxas specifically for the Maxx Slash platform, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility with your short course truck's chassis geometry and mounting points.
- Front and Rear Coverage — The pack includes one front skid plate and one rear skid plate, providing comprehensive protection to both the front and rear undercarriage sections where damage is most common during aggressive driving.
- Genuine Replacement Part — This is the official Traxxas spare part TRX10244, guaranteeing authentic quality and durability standards that match the original equipment specifications on your RC truck.
- Essential Chassis Protection — Skid plates shield critical drivetrain and chassis components from impact damage, extending the service life of your Maxx Slash and reducing repair costs from environmental damage during off-road use.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas Skid plate TRX10244 represents genuine OEM protection engineering designed by Traxxas for their flagship Maxx Slash 1/8 short course truck platform. As a chassis spare component, these skid plates are manufactured to the same exacting standards as the rest of the Maxx Slash, ensuring they integrate seamlessly with your existing setup. The front and rear skid plates work together to create a protective shell around the undercarriage, defending against the repetitive impacts and abrasion that occur during typical short course truck operation on UK terrain including grass, gravel, and rocky surfaces. The Maxx Slash 1/8 4WD platform is engineered with brushless power delivering serious performance, and protecting that investment with quality OEM spares like these skid plates is essential for maintaining peak driving experience. These are direct-fit components that require no modifications or adapters, making installation straightforward for owners familiar with basic RC truck maintenance.
