3. Guide d'installation
The INJORA Brass Skid Plate is designed for straightforward installation. Follow these steps carefully:
- Préparez votre véhicule : Ensure your 1/24 RC Crawler (Axial SCX24 series) is powered off and the battery is disconnected. Place the vehicle on a stable, clean surface.
- Remove Existing Skid Plate: Locate the screws securing the stock skid plate to the chassis. Carefully remove these screws using an appropriate small screwdriver. Keep the screws in a safe place if you intend to retain the original part.
- Detach Transmission (if necessary): Depending on your specific SCX24 model, you may need to temporarily detach the transmission from the chassis to access the skid plate mounting points. Refer to your RC vehicle's original manual for detailed disassembly instructions if needed.
- Position the Brass Skid Plate: Align the INJORA Brass Skid Plate with the mounting holes on your RC crawler's chassis. Ensure the plate is oriented correctly to protect the transmission.
- Secure the Skid Plate: Use the provided mounting screws to attach the brass skid plate to the chassis. Tighten the screws evenly until snug. Ne pas trop serrer, as this can strip threads or damage components.
- Reassemble (if necessary): If you detached the transmission, reattach it securely. Double-check all connections and ensure no wires are pinched.
- Vérification finale : Gently test the movement of the suspension and ensure all components are properly seated and secured.

4. Operation and Performance Benefits
Once installed, the INJORA Brass Skid Plate immediately contributes to improved RC crawler performance. The added weight of 15g, strategically placed at the lowest point of the chassis, lowers the vehicle's center of gravity. This results in:
- Stabilité améliorée : Reduces the likelihood of rollovers on steep inclines and uneven terrain.
- Improved Traction: The increased weight over the rear axle helps tires maintain better grip, especially during climbs.
- Transmission Protection: The durable brass construction provides superior protection for the transmission and other sensitive undercarriage components against impacts and abrasions during crawling.
Operate your RC crawler as usual, observing the enhanced stability and traction provided by this upgrade.
5. Entretien
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your INJORA Brass Skid Plate, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Nettoyage régulier : After each use, especially in dirty or wet conditions, clean the skid plate to remove dirt, mud, and debris. A soft brush and mild soap with water can be used. Ensure the plate is thoroughly dried to prevent corrosion, although the black hard coating offers protection.
- Inspecter les dommages : Periodically check the skid plate for any signs of wear, bending, or damage. While brass is durable, extreme impacts can cause deformation.
- Vérifiez le serrage des vis : Vibrations during operation can sometimes loosen screws. Regularly inspect and gently tighten all mounting screws to ensure the skid plate remains securely attached.
6. Dépannage
| Problème | Cause possible | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Skid plate feels loose after installation. | Screws not tightened sufficiently or have loosened over time. | Gently re-tighten all mounting screws. Avoid overtightening. |
| Difficulty aligning mounting holes. | Incorrect orientation of the skid plate or minor manufacturing tolerances. | Ensure the skid plate is oriented correctly. Apply slight pressure to align holes if necessary, but do not force. If persistent, contact support. |
| Reduced performance or unusual noises after installation. | Transmission not reassembled correctly or wires pinched. | Review the installation steps, especially transmission reattachment. Ensure no components are interfering with moving parts. |
