Chassis for XB8E 2026 Narrow Battery Layout - 3mm 7075

This aluminium chassis plate is made for the XRAY XB8E platform and is tailored for a reduced-width setup with a lower battery position. The design integrates updated battery trays, a new electronics plate and a covered receiver compartment to position the pack lower and closer to the centreline, aiding better mass distribution.

Cut from Swiss 7075 T6 aluminium at 3mm, the chassis features deliberate material removal in non-critical zones and milled flex areas to control overall stiffness and deliver consistent flex response. The relocated rear C-holder forms part of the intended changes that impact rear traction and dynamic stability on various track types.

During installation and setup, the chassis geometry and flex characteristics play a central role in handling outcomes; verify battery orientation and receiver placement, then fine tune suspension and roll centre settings to suit the new narrow, lower centreline arrangement.

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.

Can I fit this to non-2026 XB8E models?

The plate is specified for the XB8E 2026 narrow and lower battery arrangement; measure your existing mount points and check clearances before attempting to fit it to other model years.

Is any extra trimming required for wiring or connectors?

Some wiring routes may need slight repositioning to suit the lower electronics plate and covered receiver area; ensure cables are secured away from moving parts and avoid sharp bends.

What handling changes should I anticipate immediately?

Expect reduced body roll and a more centralized feel through corners; however, tyre selection and small suspension tweaks will determine whether the chassis produces a tighter or more stable balance.

Are there visible machining features to tune flex?

Yes, the plate includes milled flex areas and strategic pockets to shape stiffness so that traction and flex response remain predictable under load.

How protective is the hard-anodized surface?

The hard-anodize improves scratch and wear resistance for routine track use, though severe impacts may still leave marks on the finish.

Will other chassis parts need changing to match this plate?

Because battery trays and electronics plate positions are revised, confirm battery size, receiver orientation and any internal bracket clearances to ensure everything fits the updated layout.
