Just wondering what people think about AC racing skids. I had a 2004 blaster and they held up alright, but recently when i moved to a warrior a brand new ac swingarm skid was bent all up after just 2 XC races. the full body/belly skid works fine.

My standard AC skid didn't last too long at all.


My PRM skid has been abused and still holdin up..:cool:

AC chassis skids RULE since they wrap around and up the front. The swingarm skids SUCK!!! Mine didnt line up right, and after I drilled out the holes so they lined up it didnt take much abuse. Within 2 months the side that goes under the rotor was bent up into the rotor. I bent it back about 70 times and then just let all the bolts rattle out and let it fall off. Screw that thing, DO NOT get a swingarm skid from them, but I would reccomend the chassis one....

The only full body's that i havent seen wrap around the front, are the UM.

I would also reccomend the DG baja, very nice full body skid.

I got the DG Baja belly skid and am suprised how much chit it has taken on a year's worth of mx racing. So far so good!;)
