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

Slim chassis side guards for GTXE 2027

These composite chassis side guards are engineered to position the battery pack lower and narrower inside the chassis to improve weight distribution and reduce the centre of gravity on RC cars. The left and right sections continue to shield the chassis rails, electronics and drivetrain from side knocks while providing extra clearance for revised battery trays.

The composite build balances measured flex with structural stiffness, influencing chassis flex pattern and longitudinal response without sudden stiffness jumps. That predictable behaviour preserves traction and handling consistency across varied track surfaces, including rough sections where longitudinal compliance helps keep the car stable.

Installation notes: the parts fasten to the chassis side rail areas and are contoured for precise fitment with the GTXE 2027 platform, so check alignment with the battery tray before final tightening and confirm there is no binding against wiring or connectors. For setup, the lower battery position alters polar moment and roll characteristics; expect a modest shift in front-to-rear balance that you can tune with ride-height and shock damping adjustments.

Use these side guards when you want to run the battery lower in the chassis while retaining dependable side protection and controlled flex characteristics for setup tuning.
