are any of you guys using a glide pate?if so what kind and how does it fit ?I bought a AXERACING one off of eBay and it doesnot fit rite. the back end of it hits the rear shock mount and the hole dont line up rite.the top brackets are supposed to line up with the round tubing of the frame but they dont. they hit the gussets of the frame instead:(axeracing is junk!

I'm not sure what you're talking about. I just got an AXE skid for the 450r and love it. It bolted up perfectly for me and each of the back two bolts which replace the stock skid fit without any problem. The only thing was that I thought the bolts were kinda short until I realized it was only because of the nice foam bumpers that run the length of the frame needed to be slightly compressed to get the bolt into the nut with both of the washers on! I love my AXE skid though! :D

I have a Pro Armor chassis skid and it fits and looks great. I've hit more rocks than a crackhead with this thing and it hasn't even dented any.
