Key Features
- Stainless Steel Construction — Built from premium stainless steel, this skid plate kit provides exceptional corrosion resistance and durability that far exceeds standard steel alternatives. Stainless steel resists rust and oxidation even in wet conditions, ensuring your chassis armour maintains its protective integrity and appearance throughout years of use across the UK.
- Complete Chassis Armor System — This is a full kit rather than a single component, providing comprehensive undercarriage protection across multiple vulnerable areas of your Traxxas WideMaxx monster truck. The complete system approach ensures integrated protection rather than piecemeal coverage gaps.
- Traxxas WideMaxx Compatibility — Specifically engineered and tested for Traxxas WideMaxx monster trucks, this skid plate kit ensures perfect fitment and integration with your RC vehicle. The kit is compatible with multiple WideMaxx colour variants including Red (TRX89086-4-RED), Rock N Roll (TRX89086-4-RNR), and Green (TRX89086-4-GRN) models.
- Enhanced Component Protection — The skid plate system shields critical chassis components, differentials, transmission components and electronics from impact damage, debris strikes and ground contact during aggressive driving, rock crawling and bashing sessions.
- Maintains Ground Clearance — Despite its robust protective capabilities, the Fastrax chassis armor skid plate kit is engineered to integrate with the chassis without significant reduction in ground clearance or approach angles, preserving the handling and off-road capability of your WideMaxx.
- Professional Upgrade Standard — This is genuine Fastrax manufacturing, recognised across the RC hobby as a premium upgrade supplier. The kit meets the exacting standards demanded by serious RC bashers and competition drivers who require reliable, tested protection systems.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax Maxx Stainless Steel Chassis Armor Skid Plate Kit represents professional-grade engineering designed specifically for the demands of 1/10 scale monster truck driving. Constructed from premium stainless steel rather than standard mild steel, the skid plate system delivers superior corrosion resistance, structural integrity and longevity. This material choice is particularly significant for UK RC enthusiasts who frequently encounter damp conditions and need protection systems that maintain their protective properties without degradation. The complete kit approach means you receive integrated protection across the critical undercarriage areas of your Traxxas WideMaxx, rather than fragmented single-component solutions that leave vulnerable gaps. The engineering ensures the skid plate system integrates seamlessly with your WideMaxx chassis without compromising the ground clearance, approach angles or handling characteristics essential to effective off-road performance. Installation is straightforward, utilising existing chassis mounting points and hardware, making this an accessible upgrade for RC enthusiasts of all experience levels. The stainless steel construction guarantees that your investment in protection will maintain its effectiveness and appearance throughout extended use, resisting the corrosion and rust that would compromise standard steel alternatives, even with regular maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Traxxas WideMaxx models is the FTTX410 compatible with? — The Fastrax Maxx Stainless Steel Chassis Armor Skid Plate Kit is specifically engineered for Traxxas WideMaxx Monster Trucks. It is compatible with the TRX89086-4-RED (Traxxas WideMaxx Monster Truck in Red), TRX89086-4-RNR (Traxxas WideMaxx Monster Truck in Rock N Roll livery), and TRX89086-4-GRN (Traxxas WideMaxx Monster Truck in Green). Before purchasing, verify your specific WideMaxx model matches one of these compatible variants.
- Why is stainless steel better than standard steel for RC chassis protection? — Stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance compared to mild or standard steel, which is a critical advantage for UK RC bashers who regularly encounter wet weather conditions. Standard steel skid plates require consistent maintenance and re-coating to prevent rust, whilst stainless steel maintains its protective integrity and appearance indefinitely without special care. For a bashing RC like the WideMaxx, this means your investment in protection remains effective throughout years of use.
- Does this skid plate kit affect ground clearance or handling? — No, the Fastrax skid plate system is engineered to provide comprehensive protection whilst maintaining the stock ground clearance and approach angles of your Traxxas WideMaxx. The design integrates with the chassis architecture without compromising the off-road capability or handling that makes the WideMaxx such an effective monster truck platform.
- Is professional installation required, or can I fit this myself? — The Fastrax chassis armor skid plate kit utilises existing chassis mounting points and standard hardware, making it accessible for RC enthusiasts to install without professional tools or specialist knowledge. If you're experienced with basic RC maintenance and bolt-on upgrades, you can confidently install this system yourself. If you're less experienced, a local RC shop or experienced RC friend can guide you through the straightforward installation process.
- What damage does a skid plate protect against? — The chassis armor protects your Traxxas WideMaxx against impact damage from rocks, curbs and terrain obstacles, debris strikes from high-speed driving, accidental ground contact during technical sections, and collision damage during aggressive bashing. These impacts can otherwise damage differentials, transmission housings, electronics and critical suspension components, making a protective skid plate system a worthwhile investment for serious bashers.
- How does the stainless steel construction affect weight? — Stainless steel is denser than aluminium but the skid plate system is engineered to provide protection efficiently without excessive bulk. For a bashing monster truck like the WideMaxx, the minimal weight addition is a worthwhile trade-off for the superior durability and corrosion resistance of stainless steel compared to lighter materials.
