Designed as a replacement for the XB8 2026 platform, this chassis plate is CNC-machined from 3mm Swiss 7075 T6 aluminium. Its footprint allows a split radio box and fixed mounting for the steering servo box and electronics box to maintain repeatable component positioning.
The plate features a machined pocket under the clutch bell to prevent contact under full chassis flex and to shield the pinion. Milled flex regions and weight relief pockets tune stiffness and dynamic behaviour without compromising strength. A revised rear C-holder location is used to adjust rear traction characteristics by changing local stiffness.
CNC machining is performed in low-stress areas and the surface is hard-anodized to resist wear from typical RC usage. As a chassis element it is intended to influence handling balance, traction and steering response, supporting setup and track tuning rather than adding new hardware.
Choose this plate when you want the XB8 2026 specific mounting scheme and tuned flex response, and always verify clutch bell and pinion clearance after fitting to prevent contact during full flex.
