I use the rear tbone bumper. Any idea if the rpm skid plate fit onto it?M2C and other metal ones look nice, for a run or two... haha. but in my opinion I like the rpm just as well maybe better. Ever been cut by a ground down metal skid plate?? Not fun haha. My vote gets rpm.
I've tried both, and neither lasts very long. I ordered some Hot Racing ones recently, and will review once they arrive. M2C are decent, but too soft for concrete and asphalt bashing. RPM are a better price point, but have to be replaced more often. Hot Racing were recommended by someone here on the forum, as they are steel, not aluminum. Hoping they have better life. As a different option, I've been re purposing old T Bone bumpers as skid plates. The material is much more dense than the RPM plastic, and as long as you use the screw head spacers between the plate and the chassis, they hold up very well. Kind of expensive way to go, but since they replace stuff under warranty, I figured why let the broken stuff go to waste.Anyone with any experience on the m2c skid plates for the rear and front for the notorious? I am reading some comments that metal is not the way to go and it gets eaten up really quick. Any advise? Thanks.

But...... work... lolAnyone try a block of HDPE? Seems like it would make for a decent skid. If you take an old butcher board or even a full sheet from a hardware store you could make yourself quite a few for very little money ??
A full sheet of HDPE cost me $50 at Menards and you could make hundreds of them from a 4’x8’ sheet.
I would think a CNC could make quick work of this. You’d have to do the tooling once and hit go. Not a very difficult job I would think.But...... work... lol

I really do want to make RC parts... I’d love to supply the community with them at cheap prices. Just recently started to look into it actually. Really seems like it would be fun to do. Just don’t have the funding for startup?? Story of my life ??I would think a CNC could make quick work of this. You’d have to do the tooling once and hit go. Not a very difficult job I would think.
I don’t have the space right now. Working on that tho as soon as the market tanks again.I really do want to make RC parts... I’d love to supply the community with them at cheap prices.

I need to read all the posts going forward. I just read the op and replied. Sorry my man. Continue being excellent@Notorious J - That's my point!
What's a Menard? Interested in high density plastics...Anyone try a block of HDPE? Seems like it would make for a decent skid. If you take an old butcher board or even a full sheet from a hardware store you could make yourself quite a few for very little money ??

It’s basically a Home Depot or Lowe’s with the redneck turned up to 20 ??What's a Menard? Interested in high density plastics...
Gotcha. One of the drawbacks to living the suburban life is we don't get all the redneck bells and whistles. Our Walmart doesn't even carry rifles!It’s basically a Home Depot or Lowe’s with the redneck turned up to 20 ??

I would have assumed Menards was a southern based business but it seems to be Midwest basedGotcha. One of the drawbacks to living the suburban life is we don't get all the redneck bells and whistles. Our Walmart doesn't even carry rifles!
Yet if I drive two hours out of Dallas in any direction (but west) I can buy an arsenal at a Walmart...need consistency and large sheets of high density plastics!
Well, that right thar makes all the sense! LOL! High density Menards!I would have assumed Menards was a southern based business but it seems to be Midwest based
