Engineered Aluminium Skid Plate for Axial SCX24 Lower Gear

The JAZRIDER Aluminium Lower Gear Cover Skid Plate in gun metal is engineered to protect the SCX24 lower gear compartment from impact and abrasion. It provides a rigid barrier against common trail hazards while keeping a compact profile beneath the chassis.

Material and Mechanical Advantages

Aluminium offers superior wear resistance over molded plastics and can better distribute impact forces across the chassis interface. This reduces localised stress on the lower gear cover and adjacent mounting points.

Precision Fit and Installation

This component is produced to align with Axial SCX24 factory attachment points, enabling direct installation with standard fasteners and minimal setup. Bolt torques should be checked to the user's preferred spec to avoid overclamping the chassis.

Operational Benefits for Hobbyists

Fitting the JAZRIDER skid plate reduces direct loading on the lower gear cover during technical crawling and trail use, which helps lower repair frequency and maintains drivetrain integrity under demanding conditions.

Use the original SCX24 screws where possible. If replacing, choose stainless steel machine screws sized to the factory holes and apply a small thread locker for vibration resistance.
The plate is designed to sit close to the chassis using OEM clearance. It should not alter driveline geometry, but verify suspension travel after installation to confirm no interference.
Inspect the plate and mounting fasteners after each intense session, checking for deformation, loose screws, and any signs of chassis contact that could indicate misalignment.
