Centre front brace specific to GTX 2026

This carbon centre mounting front brace is an RC-scale chassis component that links the front bulkhead to the centre two-speed transmission assembly on GTX flat chassis formats. It is engineered to affect chassis flex so the front-end remains predictable across different setup choices and track surfaces.

Manufactured from carbon fibre, the component offers torsional rigidity with negligible mass increase to stabilise steering inputs and preserve front-to-rear balance. In tuning practice, minor adjustments to brace placement or angle change how loads are routed through the chassis in corners and over rough sections.

Fitting is direct on GTX 2026 compatible layouts where the brace mounts between the front bulkhead and the central transmission stack. Because it attaches to structural points, check fastener torque and clearances on installation to maintain the intended flex profile.

Specifications

Use this brace within a methodical tuning program: alter one variable at a time and log handling changes so you can identify the configuration that gives the steering fidelity and front grip you prefer.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some XRAY items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Is special preparation needed before installing this brace?

Clean all mating surfaces and inspect existing mounting points for wear. Ensure screw threads are in good condition and select correct torque values to avoid compressing the laminate.

How does this affect chassis tuning choices?

By stiffening the centre-to-front connection you change how the chassis flexes under load, which may require adjustments to shock settings, anti-roll adjustments or diff tuning to rebalance handling.

Will I need to alter ride height or geometry?

Not necessarily, but small geometry or ride-height tweaks can complement the brace to refine turn-in and mid-corner behaviour once the additional stiffness is in place.

What is the recommended approach to measure benefit?

Conduct back-to-back test runs with identical tyres and battery state, log lap times and driver feedback, and change only the brace to quantify its effect on steering precision and consistency.

Any tips to prolong carbon life?

Avoid overtightening, inspect after impacts for cracks or delamination, and keep the contact faces free from debris to prevent stress concentrations on the carbon fibre.
