Xray T4’16 aluminium flex chassis

Xray T4'16 aluminium flex chassis

Xray have introduced the aluminium flex chassis for the T4’16 touring car. Cut from 2.0mm 7075-T6 aluminium and coming black anodised and with silver chamfered edges the chassis will offer improved flex over Xray’s standard alloy chassis, thanks to adapting a popular design that utilises herringbone-shaped flex cutouts. The increased torsional flex makes the chassis ideal for low to medium-bite conditions as it helps the car to generate more traction, stability and steering.
