New sidewinder...new rider..need help

[Str8ball]

Rode a long time ago. Getting back into it.

I've done many searches for this so please know I'm not asking without doing it.

Does the BOP skid plate fit all sidewinders?

Just bought an xtx se and need a skid plate?

Are there better options out there?

Any other must have accessories I plan to keep it fairly stock for now?

Thanks

I can't answer on the bop skid plate.
However in regards to the sled itself, I didn't do anything special for the first 6 years, other then maintenance.
I just rode it. Zero issues.
It's nice to read about the issues so you can be armed with knowledge but I certainly wouldn't panic about anything

The Winder is a very capable sled with the best front end out there and in my opinion you don't need a skid plate unless you are going off trail and riding over fallen trees or debris from logging operations. It's not like an Apex in this regard
