Reinforce vintage T Series with XRAY #301176

For modelers updating older T Series kits, the XRAY #301176 Aluminium Upper Deck Brace replaces weaker plastic parts to give a stiffer chassis. The result is steadier handling and improved predictability during cornering.

Why aluminium is a sensible upgrade

Aluminium provides a durable yet lightweight option compared to plastics used originally. The upgrade keeps weight low while adding resistance to flex, which helps with consistent setup and tuning on varied surfaces.

Compatibility notes and fitting hints

This brace is aimed at classic T Series frames and fits many early releases. Installation is straightforward; use a reliable set of screwdrivers, tighten progressively, and recheck torque after a short test run.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some XRAY items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Can I reuse the original plastic mounting hardware?

You can often reuse existing screws, but inspect them for wear. Upgrading to steel or titanium hardware is optional for added security.

Is any chassis trimming required?

Most fits are bolt-on with no trimming, but confirm hole alignment before tightening. Minor adjustments to mounting holes may be needed on heavily modified cars.

Will the brace affect ride height or balance?

The brace is low-mass and should not noticeably change ride height. It can alter chassis flex behaviour, which may require slight setup tweaks to balance handling.

How often should I check the brace after racing?

Inspect mounting screws and the brace after every event. Look for loose fasteners or signs of fatigue and retighten as needed to avoid mid-run issues.
