Thicker 2.5mm chassis alternative features specially milled flex areas to create a different chassis flex characteristics. The thicker chassis in combination with altered flex increases corner speed & improves stability especially in medium to very high traction conditions. The chassis plate includes multiple mounting positions for the rear transmission for a standard or short position to adjust handling to match any track condition. Standard transmission position is suitable in high traction conditions to improve stability. Shorter transmission position is suitable for lower traction surfaces to increase rear traction. Extra side guard mounting points were added in the rear of the chassis to increase stiffness and expand the range of flex adjustment settings. The chassis features symmetrical flex and multiple battery position choices to adjust the weight balance. The chassis is an important component that contributes to the XB4’s handling characteristics. The chassis dimensions and flex characteristics are selected for the best blend of stability, traction and steering. The chassis is machined for extra clearance under the bulkheads to accommodate the diff height adjustment feature. CNC-machined from high-quality Swiss 2.5mm 7075 T6 aluminum, the chassis is strategically machined in low-stress areas to make it as light as possible without affecting strength or rigidity; and it is additionally black-coated for increased lifespan.
