Can you explain how the plates provide robust protection against water? I just can't picture it.

Those skid plates would be a buy for me if they were compatible with a PB and available on a website. I do not have a FB account as those that need to know are in the know and those that aren't don't. Nothing against FB, just not my cup of joe.
RCI or Talons Garage.

I question the design of the "skid plates" in this post. All of the holes only weaken the structure, and will snag on any rock or stump etc. Good skid plates are designed to be smooth, so you can get the vehicle off of the obstacle when it contacts the plate.

Looks like something that is just asking to get caught on branches and roots sticking out of the ground between the "vents" as well as the bolts hanging down. Between the design and the metal that is too thin, this is not a serious option for anyone who goes offroad.
I would agree with you. Way too thin and way too many vents to be a serious off road skid plate. I hope they are cheap, because that is how they are made.
Got no dog in the fight since they don't fit a Powerboost. But for those that want serious off-road bash protection, those products already exist. I think this product fills a gap between the fake oem protection (diaper products) and the serious protection formentioned.

Looks like it would be great "deflection" for objects thrown at the undercarriage, at least. Definitely sacrificial qualified?

FX4 sticker would draw less jokes if it included something like this.

Due to our previous experience in making PET material skid plates with smoother structures, it has become a huge challenge for heat dissipation as the exhaust pipe will burn out the skateboard. Therefore, a carbon steel structure skid plate was chosen with ventilation and heat dissipation ports to ensure the dissipation of heat.
