Delrin “Hybrid” Skid Plate for Axial AX-10 Rock Crawlers

This is skidplate is designed to work with the stock axial chassis and suspension components. It is a direct bolt in replacement for the stock Axial skid plate (transmission mounting plate).

EEM’s AX10 “Hybrid” Skidplate has been computer designed to help lessen and correct the “Rear Steer” effect commonly seen in the AX10. Rear Steer occurs when the rear axle articulates at an angle instead of straight up and down. This is often caused when the crawler is in a bind and power is still being applied by the motor to clear the obstacle.

Our Hybrid AX-10 skid plate is actually more of a single reverse triangulation skidplate. The rear suspension is set up in a reverse triangulation scheme while the front is left in a standard configuration. We do move the links from outside the chassis to an inside position. Links mounted on the inside of the chassis are less likely to catch on rocks and other obstacles. This plate is ideal for less demanding courses because it allows the suspension to move more freely than a typical double reverse set up. Torque twist and chassis roll are greatly reduced but not as fully as if a full double reverse triangulation suspension were used.

Since it is CNC machined from Delrin it can slide over rocks and other obstacles very easily. Another nice feature is that our design allows the skidplate to hang slightly below the bottom of the stock chassis plates. This helps to keep the aluminum chassis plates off the rocks thus reducing the drag and scrape of metal seen with the stock plates. For Carbon fiber chassis plates this is a must have solution.

This skidplate will provide the user with a competitive edge over other’s running much more expensive aftermarket chassis setups. In comparison it is a very inexpensive yet totally effective option.

Don't get left behind in a bind with the stock Axial skidplate!
