Performance-focused aluminum skid plate

The Serpent 600897 aluminum skid plate is engineered for the SRX8 chassis to reduce unnecessary mass while maintaining resilience. Constructed from quality aluminum, it weighs just 10 grams, offering a practical durability-to-weight balance for track use.

Tune steering and protect the diff

Replacing the heavier steel plate with the aluminum unit helps the SRX8 feel livelier and more responsive. The skid plate includes a seal/gasket that secures the differential case against debris and impacts common in off-road racing.

What is the weight difference versus steel?

The aluminium Serpent 600897 weighs 10 grams while the comparable steel option is around 22 grams, so you get a meaningful weight reduction.

Will this help with cornering on loose tracks?

Yes. Lowering component weight can improve balance and transient response, which often translates to crisper cornering on gravel and loam.

Does installation require special tools?

Installation uses standard hand tools and the existing mounting points on the SRX8; the gasket is included for a proper seal.

How should I care for the plate after a race?

Wipe off grit, inspect the gasket for damage and retighten fasteners if needed to keep the differential protected and sealing correctly.
