I did this and then gave it a good smack and it snapped. Only one fin snapped so I'll see how it does on the trail but I don't have real high hopes at this point.
What material did you use for the skid plate? I have abused mine pretty hard and I haven’t broken it yet. Maybe you got it too hot? I will make a follow up video to this with better instructions and footage.
@Ei8ht Up Industries I used a poly cutting board similar to the one in the video. Mine didn't last one ride through the rocks of southwest MO. Good Idea though. I think the heating is what made it brittle. I've since made one out of some scrap steel i had lying around in the shop.
Great video , helped alot.
I truly hope it was helpful.
Gonna do the same for my RM250. Great idea

I found that reheating it seems to make it brittle.
