Are skid plates really worth getting.

[NoWingNoPrayer]

I was just wondering if anyon can say that chassis and a arm skid plates have truly save their quad??

i have put my 400 over every terrain imagineable from limestone pits to newly plowed over forests and i have never done more than take paint off the bottom..

i personally havent had any experiences where a-arm or full chassis skids saved my quad but its better to be safe then sorry

YES SIREE!! I think (but i'm not sure) that skids are cheaper than engine cases!:confused: :D HeHe

I don't really think a-arm skids are worth it but body and rear skids are worth it imo.

I WOULD HAVE TO SAY YES..I FINALLY GOT ON AND I NOTICED THAT WHEN I HIT LIKE THE PEEK OF A WHOOP SECTION IT DOES NOT SLOW ME DOWN AS MUCH CUZ IT IS JUST SLIDING ACROSS THE DIRT.

a arm skids....they are a life saver if ya ride rocks and brush and tree filled trails and fields

chassis skids.....they will help save your frame from getting big arse dents(ask tommy17 )

rear swing arm....yes....but IMO....im switching to a polycarbonate like on the cannondales. even PRM isnt holding up and im not gonna remove the thing and beat it back straight after every ride

That prm cant be as bad as my AC.All it has to do is see a rock and it shrivels up.It winds up rubbing the rotor and chain all the time.
