Design notes on the GTXE centre plate

This centre mounting plate is a carbon fibre top deck produced for the GTXE flat chassis configuration, aimed at adjusting mid-chassis rigidity and the flex characteristics surrounding the drivetrain. The component is CNC machined from carbon fibre to combine durability with minimal weight, suitable for serious tuning sessions.

The plate functions as a tuning tool: by firming the chassis midsection it alters how the car responds to weight transfer and drivetrain torques, enabling fine adjustments to front-to-rear balance without changing basic suspension geometry. Assess its impact within a full setup routine for meaningful results.

Specifications

  • Item: Center mounting plate
  • Material: Carbon fiber
  • Model Number: 354253

Always check that the plate lines up with your GTXE mounting points before tightening and introduce chassis stiffness changes slowly while recording setup notes to track the effect on handling.
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 precise must hole alignment be for fitting?

Alignment should be accurate to the existing GTXE mounting pattern; even small offsets can stress screws or introduce unwanted preload, so check holes and tolerance before final tightening.

Will the plate change chassis flex tuning?

Yes. Adding a stiffer centre element redistributes flex and may require softer or firmer shock settings depending on the direction of change you prefer; plan a systematic test procedure.

Is additional reinforcement needed around screw holes?

The plate is machined to standard GTXE dimensions and usually does not require extra reinforcement; inspect screw threads and use threadlocker where appropriate for secure mounting.

What signs indicate I should remove the plate?

If handling degrades or the plate shows structural damage such as cracking or delamination, remove it and re-evaluate setup changes to rule out cumulative issues.

How should I document changes after installing the plate?

Keep a setup log noting shock settings, anti-roll values, ride height and lap comparisons before and after installation to clearly identify what adjustments produce the desired handling.
