This brass lower gear cover skid plate is an RC-scale replacement specifically made to fit the Axial Racing SCX24 chassis. It shields the lower gearbox area and underside from impacts with rocks and rough trail surfaces encountered during crawling and light trail running.
The brass material offers increased abrasion resistance and a modest increase in mass, yielding improved durability and a slight reduction in centre of gravity that can influence slow-speed stability. The part installs using the vehicle's stock mounting points and hardware and does not require modification of internal gearbox components.
Install when you need a durable under-gearbox guard for scale crawling, and take the extra weight into account when tuning suspension and tyre choices to keep handling where you want it.
