Avid T4’15 aluminium main chassis plate

Avid T4'15 aluminium main chassis plate

Avid introduce their 7075-T6 aluminium chassis for the Xray T4’15 touring car. Designed for the use in medium to high-bite conditions the main chassis, cut from 2mm high-quality aluminium, offers several unique features. Compared to Xray’s own alloy chassis the Avid part has several cutouts added and existing diff cutouts enlarged to reduce weight and increase flex while keeping enough material on the sides for the speedo to hold with servo tape. The battery tape on the bottom of the chassis has a cutout slot so it does not interfere with ride height checks or drag on track. The motor pocket width is decreased and is double pocketed to keep as much strength possible. The motor mount flex control hole as been modified with a large bevel on top of chassis to prevent the screw head from hitting chassis while the pinion adjustment hole moved to better access the set screw. The 2mm thickness material also allows for a lower centre of gravity and offers the ability to lower roll centres more than stock. The chassis shape is smoothed to keep droop screw platforms from digging into the track during hard cornering with the chassis being narrowed to 84mm allowing the chassis to roll deeper through a corner.
