CSO One flexible lower chassis & spool

CSO One flexible lower chassis & spool

New from CSO comes two option parts for the CSO One and Xray T4 touring car in the form of a flexible lower deck and an all-alloy spool axle kit. Starting with the main chassis plate, the part is CNC-machined from 2.25mm carbon fibre and designed to fit the CSO One and the Xray T4 touring car. Large milled out sections and the waisted design make for  a more flexible chassis ideal for both low and high-bite conditions in order to gain more rear traction out of the corner and to overcome traction rolling issues when turning in. The second new part is the all-aluminium hardcoated front spool set for CSO One, Xray T3/4 and the E4RS2 line of Team Magic cars. Sporting a machined aluminium 38T pulley, spool body and outdrives the axle has to be used with CSO’s optional plastic caps for the driveshafts and makes for a more solid drivetrain when needed.
