I been able to use this skid plate for 3 months and couldn't be more pleased with it, no issues so far and I don't expect there to be any. I do run RPM skid protectors just so I don't scratch this great looking piece of aluminum. Just as good as RC Monsteread morer shock towers that have proven themselves for the past 1 1/2 years of serious bashing. Don't hesitate to buy.
