BowHouse RC: N2R High Clearance Skid for Redcat Gen8 V2

Enhance the performance and durability of your Redcat Gen8 V2 with the BowHouse RC N2R High Clearance Skid. Designed to improve ground clearance and reduce hang-ups, this precision-engineered skid plate offers a smoother underside for navigating tough terrain, while maintaining compatibility with your Gen8’s stock components for an easy upgrade.

The N2R skid replaces the factory skid plate with a high-clearance design that improves approach and departure angles and enhances belly clearance without compromising strength. Built to handle demanding trail conditions, it provides a rugged platform that helps protect critical drivetrain components like the transfer case.

Installation Tips:

• If you're keeping the stock driveshafts, do not attempt to remove them during installation. They're secured with red thread-lock and extremely difficult to detach. Fortunately, removing them is unnecessary to install the N2R skid.

• Begin by removing the stock battery tray and transfer case from the factory skid. Then disconnect all 7 suspension links followed by the 8 screws securing the skid to the chassis.

• The chassis rails will flex enough to remove and replace the skid without removing bumper mounts or cross-members.

• IMPORTANT: When attaching the rear upper links, insert one M3 washer between each link rod end and the skid (refer to images if available).

• After mounting the N2R skid, use the included 4x M3 locknuts to secure the screws that pass through the front and back of the factory sliders into the forward-most and rear-most holes in the stock skid.

Whether you're trail running or crawling over rocks, the BowHouse RC N2R High Clearance Skid is a must-have upgrade to boost your Gen8 V2’s capability and durability on the toughest terrain.
