Xray T4 2020 2.0mm aluminium solid chassis

Coming from Xray and made for their T4 2020 touring car is a solid aluminium chassis for high to very high bite track conditions. Machined from high-quality 2.0mm 7075-T6 aluminium and coming black anodised for wear and looks the chassis is best used on high to very high grip carpet and asphalt track where the limited torsional flex can lead to an easier to drive, more stable and more predictable car while countering traction rolling at the same time. In addition and according to Xray‘s Jimmy Maddison the solid chassis can also help settling the car on bumpy tracks. The chassis allows to use the new longer as well as the older short-style suspension, it comes with white, laser-etched Xray logos and will hit stores very soon.
