Front brace, centre mount for GTX 2026

This carbon center mounting front brace is an RC-scale chassis component that links the front bulkhead to the center two-speed transmission assembly on GTX flat chassis platforms. It is designed to modify chassis flex so that front-end response remains reliable as track grip and suspension settings change.

Produced from carbon fiber, the part balances low mass with increased torsional stiffness to steady steering input and preserve front/rear balance. Tuners treat it as an adjustable parameter: repositioning the brace or changing its orientation will alter how the chassis handles bumps and corner loads.

Installation is generally simple on GTX 2026-compatible layouts where the brace secures between the front bulkhead and centre transmission stack. Since it connects to structural points, check fastener torque and clearance while fitting to ensure the desired flex behaviour is not compromised.

Specifications

  • Item Center mounting front brace
  • Material Carbon fiber
  • Model Number 354257
  • Compatibility GTX 2026

Include this brace in a stepwise tuning plan: change one element at a time and measure handling differences to determine the optimal balance for front grip and steering accuracy.
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.

Is the carbon durable for regular club racing?

Carbon fibre offers excellent stiffness-to-weight, but like all composites it can chip or delaminate on hard impacts. Inspect after crashes and replace if structural integrity is compromised.

Will this change tyre wear or balance?

By increasing front stiffness you may alter load distribution which can affect front tyre load and wear. Monitor tyres after fitting and adjust setup accordingly.

Should I change other parts when fitting this brace?

No mandatory changes, but you may want to revisit roll centre, anti-roll bars, or diff settings as the chassis balance shifts with added front stiffness.

How can I test the brace effect quickly on track?

Start with baseline laps, fit the brace, then run a set number of laps keeping tyre pressures and battery state consistent to compare steering precision and mid-corner stability.

Any fitment tips to avoid stressing the part?

Use the correct screw lengths, avoid overtightening, and ensure mating surfaces are clean and flat to prevent localized point loads that can damage the carbon.
