X Factory SC5M Infinity chassis kit

Coming from X Factory and made for the Team Associated SC5M short course truck is the Infinity chassis kit. The set is made up of 2.5mm carbon fibre and saves about 70 grams to make for better handling and improved performance especially in 17.5 Stock classes. The carbon fibre chassis also flexes far more than the aluminium tub, with the flex is controllable so drivers can quickly adjust their truck to suit different tracks and lay-outs by tightening or loosening bolts on the side decks and side rails. The chassis will also not tweak as aluminium does, making for more predictable performance run after run. The kit includes the new lower deck, sandwich side rail, several small parts as well as mounting hardware and a manual.
