RSD RX4-15 carbon fibre main chassis

Reflex Racing introduce the all-new RSD RX4-15 chassis for the Xray T4 2015 touring car. It is made from RSD 3K weave and available in a medium hardness 2.0mm and hard 2.25mm variant. The shape profiles for the chassis have been developed with a focus to provide a more consistent feel and less tyre overheating over a run. The design takes flex away from the bulkheads and moves it towards the centre which results in a more stable car that is easier to drive at high speed. Being made from “Quasi” carbon, which is stiffer due to the construction of the material, makes the 2.0mm chassis stiffer than the stock unit and the 2.25mm much stiffer. The 2.0mm chassis is recommended for most conditions, whether asphalt or carpet, with the 2.25mm being best used only in extreme high-grip situations.

X Factory Infinity B5M side stiffeners

Coming from X Factory’s Infinity option parts line and made for the Infinity Team Associated B5M chassis is a set of chassis side stiffeners. X Factory’s Infinity B5M chassis has been very successful over the past six months, most notably taking all four rounds of qualifying in Stock Buggy at the Cactus Classic. With all screws in the side rails and side decks tightened securely the CF chassis is quite stiff, but some drivers desire an even stiffer platform on certain high-bite tracks. These side stiffener plastic parts answer the calls. Super-easy to install, the driver just removes the bolts holding the side decks on, drops the new stiffener in, and re-tighten the side deck bolts. Therefore, chassis stiffness can be adjusted in just a minute.
