I have vintage shelf queens. I want to drive my new stuff.
But the protector does have screw holes.Forget the fluff. Just leave it on your shelf if you don't want scratches. ?
The protector is a burden and you cant get to the chassis screws. Focus on wrenching, not worry about scratches. Its just a chassis and they all get scratched. It means nothing. Does nothing wrong. Who looks at the bottom of your rig anyway when it is driving?
Skid plates front and rear are a different story and practical.
A friend of mine has a V1 Infr. Yet to drive it because he hasnt installed his custom chassis protector on it. Its been on his shelf for a year now. And he wont drive it yet. I gave up on him to bash with. Yet he bought the Infr. on my recommendation. He loves it. But as a shelf queen. Go figure. I told scratches will happen. I Would rather drive the crap out of my RC's. I don't like static models anymore.
However, skid plates, which should I get, and will I need different screws (or maybe they are supplied)? I'm getting the Tbone rear bumpers, so won't that already function as a skid plate?Forget the fluff. Just leave it on your shelf if you don't want scratches. ?

Most are not. Great find then. If it makes you feel better use it then. But the protector still will get gouged and beat up. reach the chassis depending how you bash. If using a stock chassis, I don't feel it is worthy enough to protect it. But thats just me. If I had an M2C chassis upgrade or something, maybe the investment would be considered. I checked the link. the price is good also BTW. Hopefully the screw holes line up well. And they can be a bear to get holes lined up. I installed one for someone else before, a buggy but had no holes. It got trashed pretty fast however, removing to service the chassis side screws.
So you think it'll just get ripped up before too long and I'll be back to scraping the chassis? Was hoping the protector would resist damage more than the aluminum.Thats a bonus if with holes.
Yup about 1 pack is all I got out of mine before it had a giant gash in it.
That’s what I ended up doing with my Mojave hybrid... just used a dremel tool and carved it out. Worked fine after that. Just wanted you to have a heads up.
