This stainless steel front chassis skid bumper is a direct aftermarket replacement designed for 1/16 ARRMA MINI KRATON 3S models. It is formed from 1mm stainless steel to provide a flat, rigid bearing surface where the front of the chassis meets obstacles and the ground. The part focuses on damage mitigation and preserving the chassis edge during short-course and backyard running.
Fit and function: the plate mounts to the vehicle's front chassis plate to reduce wear on the original molded bumper and to offer a predictable contact surface when scraping or hitting ruts. Its rigidity helps transfer impact loads to the chassis mounting points rather than to plastic components.
Installation notes: basic disassembly of the front bumper area is required to fit the steel plate. Use the original mounting holes and supplied hardware where applicable, verify screw length and thread engagement, and check clearance for steering and suspension travel after installation. Tighten fasteners securely but avoid over-torquing to prevent thread damage.
