The all-new, totally redesigned XB8 chassis has improved weight stability to boost the cars managing. The front is narrower to improve steering, the trunk is wider to improve stability, therefore the general size is 4mm shorter with weight balance relocated forward (including motor, radio package, gas tank, and center diff).
The chassis is CNC-machined from 3mm top-notch Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum, strategically machined in low-stress areas, then anodized making it because light possible without impacting strength or rigidity. Non-essential product underneath the engine, gas tank, and differential was removed allowing the cheapest possible center of gravity and optimal chassis flex. Must be used with #351159 XB8 Composite Chassis Side Guards L+R. Note: Swiss 7075 T6 is an exceptionally rigid aluminum product. Following the hardcoating process, in certain rare cases some small cracks may appear (including, around spaces or on sides) in which tension in material is greatest. Those small cracks are an all-natural effect and have no negative affect the performance, reliability, or lifespan associated with the item, and therefore are not regarded as a defect.
Due the character associated with aluminum product therefore the machining procedure, it really is normal that the chassis can be slightly bent into the longitudinal way.
