| Longer XT8 chassis is 13mm longer than the standard #351120 chassis, thus moving the weight of the car more forward for better balance. More traction and steering with the forward placement of the engine, center diff housing, and electronics. Increased wheelbase improves the stability of the car. |
|
CNC-machined from high-quality Swiss 3mm 7075 T6 hardcoated aluminum and strategically machined in low-stress areas to make the chassis as light as possible without affecting strength or rigidity. Material below the engine, fuel tank, and diffs has been removed to give the lowest possible center of gravity. The chassis has optimized weight balance with all parts centralized in the middle for optimum side-to-side weight balance.
All screw holes on the bottom of the chassis are countersunk, allowing for a very smooth chassis underside with no protruding screw heads. The chassis is hardcoated at XRAYâ™s own in-house fully robotic hardcoating line, ensuring a perfect hardcoated surface. |
| Note: |
| Swiss 7075 T6 is extremely rigid aluminum material and after the hardcoating process in rare cases some small cracks may occur â“ for example, around openings or on edges where tension in the material is highest. Those small cracks are a natural effect and have no negative impact on the performance, reliability, or lifespan of the product and as such are not considered to be a defect. |
|
| Due the nature of the aluminum material and the machining process, it is normal that the chassis may be slightly bent in the longitudinal direction. |
