Must have for buggy.I lost about 1mm of thickness on my rear chassis in around 2-3hour drive time before installing this product.Save ur valuable chassis by installing them NOW!
have to totally agree with dale.......great/cheap investment that preserve the chassis.......
Thes DO NOT fit the chassis of the 8 2.0 just a heads up. But are built to last with 3 skids inside the package. I bet they are perfect for keeping chassis clean and scuff free
An absolute must have in order to keep the chassis in good condition. Adds almost no weight/height and when combined with a good quality chassis protector film, offers complete protection. Note: You may want to consider slightly longer mounting screws when using these in order to maximize thread engagement.
I use these plates as an indicator. I test pistons of different hole dia, number & oil weights in the shock to get the right amount of pack on bumpy surface. If the chassis bottoms out too much due to low pack, the skid plate becomes scored at once, not the end of the chassis thanks to it. DE Racing gives progress to nice ideas.
Most reviewers rate these rear skid plates highly for protecting the chassis from wear and bottoming damage, with several noting they add little weight or height and cost little. Reviewers describe use on buggies, truggies and 8ight T 2.0 models. Points of disagreement include fit: one reviewer reports the plates do not fit the 8 2.0 chassis. One reviewer found them unsuitable on tracks with jumps, reporting the plate touches jump lips and causes the car to dive, and another reported the plates wearing down quickly. One reviewer suggested longer mounting screws for better thread engagement. Overall sentiment is positive, with the lower ratings tied to jump use and wear.
