Key features and purpose

The XRAY 356170 carbon battery backstop is a CNC-machined carbon fibre component made for GTXE 2027 flat-chassis setups, intended for use in both rear and front battery positions. Its slim, stiff form helps prevent battery movement in corners and during setup changes.

Designed as a mechanical retention device and tuning aid, the backstop provides a fixed placement point for batteries and keeps additional chassis stack height to a minimum. That consistent placement aids repeatable weight distribution and suspension adjustments.

Installation is aimed at users accustomed to GTXE-series assembly: the part mounts to the chassis' standard battery points and typically reuses the original screws. Note that hardware inclusion depends on the kit or spare-parts listing.

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.

How does this backstop influence setup and handling?

By providing a repeatable battery location, the backstop helps keep the centre of mass consistent between runs, which can improve setup repeatability and make handling adjustments more predictable.

Is the carbon construction durable under impact?

CNC carbon fibre offers good stiffness and wear resistance for retention duties, but severe impacts can cause cracks. Inspect the part after heavy knocks and replace if structural damage is found.

Will it require shims to achieve a flush fit?

Most GTXE 2027 chassis accept the backstop without shims, but any previous modifications or different battery sizes may require shim adjustments to ensure a flush, secure fit.

What inspection routine do you recommend?

Regularly check contact surfaces for wear, keep the area free of grit, and inspect for delamination. Replace the backstop if you detect cracks to preserve safe battery retention.
