Xray T4’18 aluminium flex & standard chassis

Xray have introduced two aluminium chassis plates for the T4’18 touring car. Both are cut from high-quality 7075-T6 alloy and while the flex chassis is best suited for medium to high carpet and high-grip asphalt tracks, will the full-face standard chassis excel on very high-grip carpet tracks thanks to its even greater stiffness. The black-coated chassis will improve traction and drivability in high-bite conditions and they are a direct fit on the 2018 edition car.
