This aluminium chassis is a purpose-built RC-scale component for the XRAY XB8E platform, designed to support a narrow layout and a lower battery position. The plate integrates revised battery trays, an updated electronics plate and a covered receiver box to place the battery lower and closer to the centerline, which helps redistribute mass and lower the model's center of gravity.
Machined from Swiss 7075 T6 aluminium at 3mm thickness, the chassis uses strategic material removal in low-stress zones and specially milled flex areas to control stiffness and predictable flex behavior. The revised rear C-holder position is part of the layout changes intended to influence rear traction and overall stability across varying track surfaces.
For tuning and installation, the chassis plays a central role in handling; its geometry and flex characteristics affect traction, steering precision and balance. Installers should verify battery orientation and electronics placement to match the intended narrow and low centerline layout, and assess suspension and roll center settings after fitting to optimise handling for specific track conditions.
As a direct chassis replacement or upgrade for XB8E 2026 layouts, this CNC-machined 3mm plate is intended to refine weight distribution and handling predictability while maintaining necessary rigidity for competitive RC on-track use.
