These composite chassis side guards are designed to relocate the battery pack lower and narrower within the chassis to refine weight distribution and lower the centre of gravity on RC cars. The left and right pieces retain protective coverage for the chassis rails, electronics and drivetrain during side impacts while offering increased clearance for updated battery trays.
The guards’ composite construction balances controlled flex with structural stiffness, so they influence chassis flex pattern and longitudinal behaviour without introducing sudden stiffness changes. That predictable flex helps maintain traction and handling consistency across a range of track surfaces, including rough sections where longitudinal compliance keeps the car stable.
Installation notes: the parts mount to the chassis side rail areas and are shaped for precise fitment with the GTXE 2027 platform, check alignment with the battery tray before final tightening, and verify no binding against wiring or connectors. For tuning, the lower battery position shifts polar moment and roll characteristics; expect a modest increase in front-to-rear balance that can be complemented by ride-height and shock damping adjustments.
Use these side guards when you need to run the battery lower in the chassis while keeping reliable side protection and predictable flex characteristics for setup refinement.
