Chassis Side Guards Narrow Profile for GTXE 2027 - 351161 XRAY  [XR-351161]

Narrow-profile chassis guards designed for GTXE 2027

These composite chassis side guards relocate the battery pack lower and closer to the chassis centreline to improve weight distribution and reduce the centre of gravity on RC models. The paired left and right units continue to cover chassis rails, electronics and drivetrain in side impacts while freeing space for updated battery trays.

The composite construction provides a controlled flex characteristic while maintaining necessary stiffness, so the guards change chassis flex behaviour and longitudinal response without abrupt stiffness transitions. That stability helps deliver consistent traction and predictable handling over a variety of surfaces, including uneven sections where longitudinal compliance keeps the car steady.

Installation notes: fit the parts to the chassis side rail areas; they are shaped for accurate fitment on the GTXE 2027 platform. Verify battery-tray alignment before final torque and ensure wiring or connectors do not bind. In terms of tuning, the lower battery location shifts polar moment and roll response; you may need to tweak ride height and shock damping to balance the car.

These guards are ideal when you want a lower battery stance in the chassis while keeping robust side protection and predictable flex for further setup work.
