Arrma Typhon 6s Side Skidplates

Summary

I wanted to keep my new BasherSkinz chassis protector from getting all scratched up. so I made these side skid bars to help protect the chassis when hitting jumps and curbs.

There are two versions available; a 5mm version for serious protection but a higher risk of breaking off (this is also the height of the center skid plate), and a 3mm version for balanced protection. Similar in height to the Arrma steel skids.

For further chassis protection, you can print front and rear skid plates as well, but I got steel ones from Arrma (ARA320625) which work amazingly. I also printed a center skid too, which you can find at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2099442

TPU may also work, but I decided to use PLA Pro as it seems just as durable.

Installation

To install, remove the four countersunk M3 screws which hold the side skirts from one side of the chassis. Next, place the skid bar over the holes (make sure it's the correct side!) and use M3x10 BCS screws to reinstall everything. Once you do the other side, you're all set!
