Longer XT8 chassis is 13mm longer compared to the standard #351120 chassis, hence going the weight of car more forward for better balance. More traction and steering with all the forward keeping the motor, center diff housing, and electronics. Increased wheelbase improves the security of the car.
CNC-machined from top-quality Swiss 3mm 7075 T6 hardcoated aluminum and strategically machined in low-stress areas to make the chassis as light possible without impacting strength or rigidity. Material below the engine, fuel tank, and diffs has been eliminated to give the cheapest possible center of gravity. The framework has optimized weight stability with all parts centralized at the center for maximum side-to-side weight balance. All screw holes regarding the base of framework are countersunk, permitting a very smooth chassis underside with no protruding screw heads. The chassis is hardcoated at XRAYs very own in-house fully robotic hardcoating line, ensuring an ideal hardcoated surface.
Note:
Swiss 7075 T6 is very rigid aluminum product and after the hardcoating process in infrequent cases some tiny cracks may possibly occur as an example, around openings or on sides in which tension in the product is greatest. Those small cracks are a natural effect and possess no negative affect the performance, dependability, or lifespan of the product and as such aren't considered to be a defect.
Due the nature of aluminum material therefore the machining procedure, it is normal your framework could be slightly bent in the longitudinal way.
