Refined handling with XRAY 351160 guards

Precision cut from quality carbon fiber, the XRAY 351160 chassis side guards are made to stabilise the car while still allowing the necessary chassis twist to generate grip. They are compatible with XB8, XB8E, XT8 and XT8E platforms from 2016 onwards and help protect the chassis sides from debris and bangs.

Advantages of carbon fiber construction

  • Low mass: Carbon construction reduces weight compared to heavier composites, which benefits acceleration and responsiveness.
  • Steadier chassis: Longitudinal stiffness is improved to limit unwanted flex for cleaner handling lines.
  • Grip-friendly flex: The design permits torsional movement where needed to aid traction through corners.

Fitment overview and notes

The XRAY 351160 set ships with both left and right guards and is designed to sit flush on the chassis plate of the listed models. Fitment is simple for experienced builders and will not normally require trimming.
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 use these on a converted older chassis?

They are dimensioned for 2016-on XB8 and XT8 layouts; conversions might need adjustments to match mounting points.

Will carbon side guards make the car too stiff?

They increase longitudinal stiffness but are engineered to retain torsional flex, so overall handling remains balanced rather than overly stiff.

Are they easy to maintain after off-road use?

Yes, wipe away dirt and check mounting screws after each run; carbon is durable but fast inspections will catch any knocks early.

Do they require special fasteners?

They normally use the chassis plate's existing screw points, so additional specialised fasteners are not usually necessary.
