Carbon plate for rear lower suspension arm

This carbon upper plate reinforces the rear lower suspension arm on GT/Xb8 scale cars, intended for RC use only. When paired with a lower carbon stiffener it increases lateral and torsional rigidity of the lower arm assembly, reducing unwanted flex under high load.

The tightened lower arm assembly reduces unpredictable movement and helps maintain rear grip during cornering, offering a more controlled mid-corner balance. It is targeted at setups that operate on medium to high-traction surfaces where increased stiffness yields measurable handling gains.

Fitting is performed using the lower arm's existing attachment points; disassemble the rear suspension as required and confirm that fasteners sit correctly before final torqueing. Retune suspension parameters after installation for optimal results.

Specifications

  • Item: Rear lower arm upper plate (2 pcs)
  • Material: Carbon
  • Model Number: 353195
  • Compatibility: GT/Xb8

For competitors seeking to refine rear-end response on grippier tracks, this plate provides a compact upgrade to increase lower arm stiffness without altering core chassis geometry.

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.

How do I verify fitment on my GT/Xb8?

Compare the plate to the lower arm mounting pattern on your GT/Xb8 chassis and perform a dry fit to ensure hole alignment prior to tightening.

Will the car become too nervous with this installed?

Not typically; the plate reduces unwanted flex and usually makes the rear feel steadier, though on very low-grip tracks it can make the setup less forgiving.

Is any bespoke hardware included?

Check your supplier listing for included hardware. If none is supplied, use matching diameter screws of the correct length to avoid stressing the carbon.

Should shock settings be changed after fitting?

Yes. Altering arm stiffness alters suspension dynamics; fine-tune shock damping and spring rates to recover the desired handling balance.

Is this plate recommended for wet or slippery tracks?

On slippery conditions the plate's added stiffness may reduce wheel compliance and traction, so it is generally not recommended for very low-grip situations.

How often should I inspect the plate?

Inspect after any heavy impacts and during regular maintenance intervals; look for cracks, check fastener security and remove the part if any structural damage is evident.
