These composite chassis side guards are intended to tuck the battery pack lower and closer to the centreline to improve mass distribution and reduce the centre of gravity on RC cars. Both left and right pieces maintain protective coverage for the chassis rails, electronics and drivetrain during side impacts and add clearance for revised battery trays.
The guards use a tuned composite layup to balance measured flex with necessary stiffness, so they influence the chassis flex pattern and longitudinal behaviour without creating abrupt stiffness jumps. That controlled response helps hold traction and gives consistent handling across a wide range of track conditions, including rougher sections where longitudinal compliance aids stability.
Installation notes: mount the parts to the chassis side rail areas; they are contoured for exact fit on GTXE 2027 frames. Confirm battery tray alignment before torqueing hardware and check there is no binding with wires or plugs. For setup changes, the lower battery location shifts polar moment and roll behaviour; plan modest adjustments to ride height and shock damping to dial in balance.
Fit these guards when you want to lower the battery for setup refinement while keeping strong lateral protection and predictable flex behaviour.
