Default Out of commission.

Well, had my first bad reck with my REVO today. My buddy slammed into the back of it today going about 15 and broke my rear skid plate. I didn't know it at the time so as I continued to drive, one of my rear suspension pins came out. So until payday, I'm done. I will not be replacing the skid plate with the stock plastic because the part isn't real durable as it is. Could anyone suggest a good site with cheap aluminum skid plates?

They stock is fine it has lasted me a long time. If you were to get aluminium, I have heard some complaints about them. They bend easily, unlike plastic it bends back (sometimes )

I have ebay skids and they work fine. Plus for like 15 bucks you can't really argue.
