This aluminium front clip and skid plate is an aftermarket replacement part produced by GPM for the Axial Racing Yeti XL platform, supplied as one set. It serves as a direct-fit aluminium front assembly intended to replace the plastic clip and provide a stiffer, more impact-resistant front end for scale trail and rock-crawling use on RC models.
The design focuses on chassis-level protection and front-end rigidity rather than cosmetic change. The part is presented as a bolt-on assembly that ties into the existing Yeti XL mounting points referenced by AX31048, keeping installation straightforward for hobbyists familiar with standard chassis disassembly and reassembly routines. No additional tools beyond common hobby drivers are required to swap the factory clip for this aluminium unit.
In tuning terms, replacing the stock front clip with this aluminium set will change how the front end responds to impacts and chassis torsion; expect reduced flex and a more consistent contact patch under load, which can influence suspension tuning choices such as shock rates and roll center adjustments.
For builders seeking a durable aluminium replacement for the Yeti XL front clip, this GPM set provides straightforward fitment with a focus on front-end protection and increased chassis stiffness, useful for scale trail and rock-crawling setups.
