The Axial Racing SCX-10 Aluminum Skid Plate & Linkage Set replaces stock plastic underbody parts with machined aluminum components to enhance chassis protection and deliver more consistent lower-link geometry for SCX-10 crawlers.
The skid shields the chassis belly from impacts and wear during trails, and the metal lower links are less prone to flex than plastic, giving steadier geometry under load. These parts are targeted at functionality and longevity rather than purely cosmetic updates.
Installation notes: manufactured for Axial SCX-10 mounting interfaces, correct fit requires matching factory hole patterns and mount spacings. Where possible use original fasteners, check alignment prior to final torque, and confirm suspension runs freely through its travel after assembly. Standard hex drivers and wrenches are sufficient for most installations.
Maintenance guidance: inspect and retorque fasteners after the initial runs, keep mating surfaces clean of grit, and consider small shock or anti-roll tweaks if the stiffer links change handling characteristics.
This skid and linkage set offers a practical upgrade to improve underside protection and reduce link flex for Axial SCX-10 models while remaining within common hobby skill levels for fitting and tuning.
