This aluminium centre skid plate is offered as an aftermarket upgrade for the Gmade R1 platform to protect the chassis centre from impacts and abrasion on rocks and rough trails.
Fitting uses the R1's existing mounting points at the chassis centre; ensure hole alignment and correct thread engagement so the plate sits flush with the rails. The alloy part is more wear resistant than many stock plastic plates, and its red finish helps highlight underside contact points for maintenance checks.
Installation note: primarily a protective component rather than a tuning item. It can slightly change underside contact behaviour, so confirm clearance and skid response after installation if you adjust ride height or suspension geometry.
