These composite chassis side guards are designed to relocate the battery pack lower and slimmer within the chassis to refine mass distribution and reduce the centre of gravity on RC cars. The left and right guards continue to protect chassis rails, electronics and drivetrain during lateral impacts while offering extra clearance for different battery tray layouts.
The guards' composite construction strikes a balance between controlled flex and necessary stiffness, so they affect chassis flex patterns and longitudinal characteristics without abrupt stiffness changes. That predictable flex helps preserve traction and handling consistency across multiple surfaces, including rough areas where longitudinal compliance keeps the car steady.
Installation notes: the parts secure to the chassis side rail areas and are shaped for accurate fitment with the GTXE 2027 platform. Check battery-tray alignment before final tightening and ensure no interference with wiring or connectors. For tuning, moving the battery lower changes polar moment and roll behaviour; small ride-height and shock damping changes will help rebalance the car.
Choose these side guards when you want a lower battery centre while keeping reliable lateral protection and predictable chassis behaviour for further setup tuning.
