Arrowmax X4’25 Spring Steel Chassis Conversion Kit

Arrowmax has launched a brand-new Electric Touring Car series steel chassis conversion kit, with its first product designed for the Xray X4‘25. The kit is made of 1.2mm thick hardened spring steel, offering excellent elasticity.

Precise manufacturing techniques further ensure the flatness of the chassis, meeting the rigorous demands of high-performance competitions. Compared to traditional carbon steel or aluminium chassis, this steel chassis demonstrates outstanding advantages in durability and performance stability. The hardened spring steel material greatly enhances impact resistance and deformation resilience, ensuring exceptional performance even under high-intensity and long-term use. Additionally, to optimise the overall design, the chassis features a slimmer profile and is accompanied by specially customised 110-degree screw heads with 12.9-grade high-strength screws, ensuring the durability and reliability of fasteners, and significantly increasing lifespan. Currently, the product is open for pre-order and is scheduled for delivery starting in mid-April.
