RPM Front and Rear Skid Plates for Losi Tenacity SCT T and DB RPM73182

Overview

If you're looking for some bulletproof protection for your Losi Tenacity (SCT, T & DB), look no further than RPM! These front and rear skid plates are essential protective upgrades for anyone serious about protecting their investment in their RC short course truck or buggy. Whether you're running a molded chassis or an aluminium chassis version, RPM has engineered a solution that not only safeguards your chassis but also enhances its durability and performance on the track or trail. These are among the most effective protective upgrades available for Losi Tenacity owners in the UK RC community, combining expert engineering with proven durability.

RPM skid plates are specifically designed to address the real-world challenges that Losi Tenacity chassis face during aggressive driving. The engineers at RPM have identified critical wear points and breakage areas, then developed protective solutions that tie structural reinforcement together with abrasion resistance. For serious RC car enthusiasts running 1/10 scale short course trucks or buggies, these skid plates represent smart investment protection that costs far less than replacing a damaged chassis.

Made in the USA from an incredibly tough blend of engineering grade nylons, these skid plates deliver the performance you can count on. They're engineered to work seamlessly with both molded and aluminium Tenacity chassis versions, making them the ultimate protection upgrade for your RC vehicle. Available now at RC Model Shop, they represent excellent value for any Tenacity owner looking to extend the lifespan of their chassis and reduce expensive repairs.

Key Features

• Front Bulkhead Reinforcement System — The front skid plate ties together the four bulkhead mounting screws with the two screws holding the steering mounting posts in place, creating a unified reinforcement structure that beefs up the strength and durability of the entire front end of the chassis, helping to reduce that pesky breakage problem that occurs in the area just behind the front bulkhead mounting screws.
• Dual Chassis Compatibility — These skid plates are designed to fit both the molded chassis version (LOS231023) and the aluminium chassis option (LOS231056) of the Tenacity, making them a versatile solution for any Tenacity owner regardless of which chassis version you're running.
• Abrasion and Wear Protection — The skid plates add significant abrasion resistance to your chassis, acting as the lowest impact point and taking the punishment that would otherwise damage your expensive chassis, thereby extending the longevity of your valuable investment.
• Scratch and Scuff Reduction — Since the RPM skid plates are positioned as the lowest impact point on the chassis, they significantly reduce the amount of scuffs and scratches your chassis receives, keeping it looking newer and more presentable for longer.
• Rear Chassis Protection — The rear skid plate adds much needed abrasion and wear protection out back, protecting your chassis from wearing out and needing replacement, which is far more expensive and time consuming than simply replacing a wear plate.
• Reduced Debris Build-Up — The rear skid plate sits lower than the bumper mount, which means you'll encounter significantly less build-up of dirt and debris between the chassis and the lower rear bumper mount, keeping your RC car cleaner and running smoother.
• Engineering Grade Nylon Construction — Made from an incredibly tough blend of engineering grade nylons that are specifically formulated for performance in RC applications, these plates can handle the impacts and stresses of serious RC driving.
• Made in the USA — These skid plates are manufactured in the USA to strict quality standards, ensuring you receive a product that meets RPM's exacting specifications for durability and performance.

Technical Performance

The RPM Front and Rear Skid Plates represent a comprehensive protective solution engineered specifically for the Losi Tenacity short course truck platform. RPM engineers identified that a key breakage area on molded Tenacity chassis occurs in the region just behind the front bulkhead mounting screws. By designing a front skid plate that ties together the four bulkhead mounting screws with the two screws holding the steering mounting posts in place, RPM has created a structural reinforcement system that significantly improves the durability of the entire front end assembly. For owners of aluminium chassis Tenacity vehicles, the protective benefits are equally impressive. Considering that replacement aluminium chassis carry an MSRP of $55.99, protecting your existing chassis makes absolute economic sense. The skid plates reduce skid and abrasion damage, minimising the scuffs and scratches that occur during normal use, thereby extending the lifespan of your valuable chassis considerably. The rear skid plate provides additional protection against wear and abrasion out back, sitting lower than the bumper mount to provide optimal coverage and to reduce the build-up of dirt and debris that can accumulate between the chassis and the lower rear bumper mount. These components are manufactured from an incredibly tough blend of engineering grade nylons that have been specifically formulated to withstand the impacts, vibrations, and stresses associated with aggressive 1/10 scale RC driving. The construction quality and material selection ensure that these protective plates will outlast many driving seasons whilst maintaining their structural integrity and protective properties.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these skid plates fit my Losi Tenacity? — These RPM skid plates are designed to fit Losi Tenacity SCT, T, and DB models in both molded chassis (LOS231023) and aluminium chassis (LOS231056) configurations. They are not compatible with MT versions. Check your chassis model number to confirm compatibility before ordering.
• Why should I invest in skid plates for my RC car? — Skid plates are one of the smartest protective upgrades you can make for your RC vehicle. A replacement aluminium Tenacity chassis costs around $55.99, whilst a skid plate costs a fraction of that price. By taking the impacts and abrasion damage that would otherwise wear out your chassis, skid plates extend the lifespan of your investment significantly and reduce expensive repairs and replacements.
• What is the main breakage problem that these skid plates solve? — RPM engineers identified that a key breakage area on molded Tenacity chassis occurs in the region just behind the front bulkhead mounting screws. The front skid plate addresses this by tying together the four bulkhead mounting screws with the two screws holding the steering mounting posts in place, creating a unified reinforcement structure that dramatically improves durability in this critical area.
• Do these skid plates protect aluminium chassis as well? — Yes, these skid plates are specifically designed to fit both molded and aluminium chassis versions of the Tenacity. For aluminium chassis owners, the skid plates provide crucial abrasion and wear resistance, minimising the costly scuffs and scratches that occur during normal driving whilst protecting your investment for years to come.
• Will skid plates affect the performance of my RC car? — No, these skid plates are designed to have minimal impact on your RC car's performance. They simply provide protective coverage without adding significant weight or altering the handling characteristics of your vehicle. The engineering grade nylon construction is specifically formulated to be strong yet lightweight.
• Why do the rear skid plates sit lower than the bumper mount? — By sitting lower than the bumper mount, the rear skid plate becomes the lowest impact point on the chassis out back, meaning it takes all the impacts and abrasion that would otherwise damage your chassis. This design also reduces the build-up of dirt and debris that can accumulate between the chassis and the lower rear bumper mount, keeping your RC car cleaner.
• Are these skid plates easy to install? — Yes, the skid plates come with all necessary mounting hardware. The design integrates with existing mounting points on your Tenacity chassis, making installation straightforward for anyone familiar with basic RC maintenance and assembly.
