Overview
Protect your transmission and add low-mounted weight with the Power Hobby Brass Skid Plate and Transmission Mount. This combo upgrade for the Redcat Ascent-18 replaces the stock skid plate and transmission mount with solid brass — delivering chassis protection, lower center of gravity, and improved crawling stability all in one install.
The center skid plate is one of the most-impacted parts on any crawler, bearing the brunt of every rock and obstacle the chassis slides over. Brass delivers exceptional impact resistance plus the bonus of stability-improving weight.

- Combined skid plate and transmission mount
