INJORA CNC Aluminum Skid Plate for SCX24 RC Crawler – Forward/Reverse, Flat Bottom, Black

The INJORA CNC Aluminium Skid Plate is a direct upgrade for 1/24 Axial SCX24 RC crawlers. It supports both forward and reverse transmission installation, giving you flexibility in your build. The flat bottom design improves ground clearance, helping the chassis slide over rocks instead of getting hung up. Made from CNC-machined aluminum with a black anodized finish, it resists corrosion and adds a sleek look while being lighter than the stock plastic part.

What makes this skid plate different?

Most stock skid plates are molded plastic with a curved bottom that can snag on obstacles. This INJORA plate is CNC-cut from solid aluminum, offering a precise flat surface that reduces friction during climbs. The anodized coating protects against scrapes and dirt, keeping the plate looking fresh after multiple runs. More importantly, the design allows you to mount the transmission in either the forward or reverse orientation, which is useful for adjusting weight distribution or clearance around other components.

Installation and compatibility

This skid plate is a direct bolt-on replacement for the stock plate on the Axial SCX24 (1/24 scale). It uses the existing mounting holes and hardware, so no drilling or modifications are needed. Simply remove the old plastic piece and install the aluminum one. The flat profile fits perfectly under the chassis, and the transmission bolts on securely.

Technical details

Common questions about the INJORA skid plate

Can I use this skid plate with any SCX24 version?

Yes, it is designed for the standard Axial SCX24 chassis and fits all variations including the C10, Jeep, and Betas (as long as they use the stock skid plate).

Does it really improve climbing performance?

The flat bottom reduces the chance of the chassis catching on rocks, which helps maintain momentum over obstacles. Many users notice better sliding on tricky terrain.

Is installation difficult?

No. It replaces the stock plastic skid plate in minutes with basic tools. Just unscrew the old plate, swap it, and reattach the transmission.

What's the advantage of anodized aluminum over plastic?

Aluminum is much more durable and resistant to cracking on hard impacts. The black anodized layer adds corrosion resistance and a scratch-resistant surface that looks good even after rough use.
