The XRAY 351111 XB8E'16 Aluminum Chassis combines Swiss 7075 T6 material with exact CNC machining to offer focused handling improvements. It is engineered to deliver a predictable mix of stiffness and usable flex for better lap-to-lap consistency.
The chassis profile now narrows at the front to increase steering response and widens at the rear for stronger traction on corner exit. By cutting 4mm from the overall length the mass bias shifts forward to promote cleaner rotation, while the engine, radio box, fuel tank and centre differential positioning helps retain balance.
The 3mm plate is CNC machined to reduce stress concentrations without sacrificing rigidity. Anodising increases surface durability and aids weight control, contributing to a lower centre of gravity and refined chassis behaviour.
When installing, use the #351159 XB8 Composite Chassis Side Guards L+R to ensure correct fitment. Be aware that small cracks can form at high-tension points after hardcoating on Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum; these are cosmetic and do not impair service life.
Suited to drivers wanting more precise handling from their XB8E'16, this chassis pairs high-grade material with accurate machining for reliable on-track performance.
