Xray XB4 2.5mm 7075-T6 aluminium main chassis

Coming from Xray and made for the XB4 4WD buggy is a 2.5mm 7075-T6 aluminium main chassis plate. The part is machined from high-quality alloy and its design and material used improves the torsional stiffness which results in improved car control especially on high bite to very high bite surfaces. The chassis is usable without the upper braces and it lowers the overall centre of gravity while machined pockets make for a low overall weight.
