XRAY 351161-S - Chassis Side Guards Narrow & Lower Battery Position L+R - Soft  [XR-351161-S]

Soft narrow chassis side guards

This soft-composite side guard set is made for a narrow chassis layout and a lower battery position, intended as an RC-scale tuning option to shift chassis behavior toward increased traction on low-traction surfaces. The softer material increases chassis flex compared with the kit composite guards, which changes how weight and load transfer through the chassis during cornering and traction transitions.

Fit and sealing follow the kit geometry so the guards maintain the intended chassis envelope, protect electronics from debris, and keep dirt entry limited around the battery area. Use these guards when the goal is a more forgiving balance and improved forward traction on slippery or low-grip tracks; they are a tuning choice rather than a universal replacement for the standard composite guards.

Installation is direct-fit to the narrow-layout mounting points paired with a lower battery position, requiring the same fasteners and mounting sequence as the kit side guards. When tuning, evaluate one axle at a time and combine with spring and swaybar adjustments to find the targeted balance between responsiveness and traction.

Select these soft side guards when surface grip is limited and you need extra chassis compliance to improve traction and control, keeping other standard components unchanged for predictable fit and protection.
