Xray X4'26 Centre Upper Deck Graphite 1.6mm Compatible - Factory Pro FP-O-XCP031S  [FP-O-XCP031S]

Factory Pro FP-O-XCP031S graphite 1.6mm centre upper deck for Xray X4'26 touring chassis

Role of the deck in chassis balance

The FP-O-XCP031S serves as a replacement-style centre plate for the Xray X4'26. With medium stiffness at 1.6mm thickness, it sits between the bulkhead area and top chassis components to control local flex and channel loads through the middle of the chassis. This plate influences interaction between front and rear modules and is useful when adjusting the centre stiffness profile without reworking suspension geometry.

Material selection and plate construction

Graphite is commonly used for upper decks because of its high stiffness-to-weight characteristics. The FP-O-XCP031S uses 1.6mm graphite to achieve a middle ground between rigidity and forgiving compliance. The plate layout, including cutouts, mounting bosses and edge reinforcements, dictates how it interfaces with shock towers and bulkheads. Expect a lightweight, durable part that resists permanent deformation under normal hobby running.

Compatibility and installation guidance

Intended specifically for the Xray X4'26, the FP-O-XCP031S lines up with factory mounting points. It replaces the standard upper deck on the same chassis generation and layout. Its changes are local to the centre structure and will be most relevant to tuners looking at chassis feel or to enthusiasts restoring a car to a particular specification.

Who will benefit from this component

This upper deck is well suited to builders maintaining Xray X4'26 cars or collectors keeping an original-style layout. It is suitable as a straightforward replacement for those wanting a controlled change in mid-chassis stiffness without touching primary suspension components. The deck is helpful for maintenance, restoration and detailed chassis work.

The Factory Pro FP-O-XCP031S is a practical mid-stiffness graphite deck for Xray X4'26 owners who want a period-correct replacement that adjusts centre stiffness without wider platform modification.
