GTXE 2027 Chassis Side Guards Narrow Layout & Lower Battery Position - XRAY 351161-S  [XR-351161-S]

Soft Narrow-Spec Side Guards

This soft-composite side guard set is engineered for a narrow chassis layout and a lower battery location, serving as an RC tuning option to move chassis behavior toward improved traction on limited-grip surfaces. The softer material increases chassis flex compared with the kit composite guards, changing how weight and load transfer through the chassis during cornering and traction transitions.

Fit and sealing follow the kit geometry so the guards maintain the intended chassis envelope, protect electronics from debris, and keep dirt entry limited around the battery area. Use these guards when the goal is a more forgiving balance and improved forward traction on slippery or low-grip tracks; they are a tuning choice rather than a universal replacement for the standard composite guards.

Installation is direct-fit to the narrow-layout mounting points paired with a lower battery position, requiring the same fasteners and mounting sequence as the kit side guards. When tuning, evaluate one axle at a time and combine with spring and swaybar adjustments to find the targeted balance between responsiveness and traction.

Choose these soft side guards when surface grip is limited and you need extra chassis compliance to improve traction and control, while keeping standard components unchanged for predictable fit and protection.
