RPM Front Skid Plate For Traxxas Maxx

Announced today is the new RPM Front Skid Plate for Traxxas Maxx, built to take abuse.

RPM Front Skid Plate For Traxxas Maxx

One of the biggest issues Maxx owners reported was exposed mounting screws. On the stock skid plate, hard impacts and grinding abrasion can damage the screws, which can also lead to damaged bulkheads. Damaged bulkheads turns a simple scrape into an expensive, time-consuming repair.

 

RPM solved that problem by redesigning the skid rib layout to isolate and protect the mounting screws from direct contact. Instead of the screws taking the hit, the RPM beefy skid ribs absorb the punishment while providing long-lasting wear surfaces for maximum durability.

The RPM Front Skid Plate also adds a third skid rib, compared to the stock two-rib design. That extra rib means even greater abrasion resistance, improved strength and longer life under extreme driving conditions. Whether you’re launching big air, bashing hard or grinding across rough terrain, this skid plate is ready for the punishment.

Pair it with the RPM Rear Skid Plate (#72222) for the ultimate Maxx underbody protection package.

Like all RPM products, these skid plates are proudly made in the USA and backed by RPM’s limited lifetime warranty. Tougher design. Smarter protection. Built RPM strong.

Tech Notes: The RPM Front Skid Plate for the Traxxas Maxx replaces stock Traxxas #8944 (front skid plate only).
