Overview
The RPM Rear Skid Plate for the Traxxas Maxx solves several customer-reported issues with the stock design. The primary modification is protection of the mounting screws—the stock design leaves these screws vulnerable to damage. When stock screws get damaged, they can strip out the bulkheads, leading to costly and time-consuming repairs. RPM's redesign separates the skid ribs from the screw holes, effectively shielding the mounting screws from harm.
Additionally, the skid ribs provide functional wear surfaces on the skid plate, adding wearability and longevity. RPM added a third skid rib (stock only has two), enhancing durability and abrasion resistance while reinforcing an already beefy component. Made in the USA and backed by RPM's limited lifetime warranty.
