This 1/5-scale rear skid plate is CNC machined from titanium to suit the LOSI 5IVE-TE 3.0 layout. With a 5mm section thickness the plate adds a slim reinforcement to the rear underside of the chassis to help absorb abrasion and impacts encountered during off-road running.
The item is produced using a wire-cut machining technique, so you may see fine machining marks and occasional small burrs on cut edges; these are normal and do not weaken the component. Minor surface scratches can occur in handling or transit and are cosmetic only.
Hardware for mounting is supplied and the accessory is configured for straightforward fitment. Use a medium-strength threadlocker on the fasteners to keep them from backing out under vibration, and recheck hex bolt torque after initial runs. Installation calls for basic rear chassis disassembly and standard hex drivers.
From a tuning perspective the plate is a protective sacrificial component rather than a handling modifier. It will not alter suspension tuning or drivetrain ratios, although it can reduce underside wear and maintain a consistent sliding surface when contacting obstacles, which supports predictable handling at speed.
Install this titanium rear skid to add lightweight, durable protection for everyday off-road use on the LOSI 5IVE-TE 3.0, and carry out simple mounting checks to confirm a tight installation.
