GPM Racing Aluminium 7075-T6 Chassis Plate for Traxxas 1/6 4WD XRT 8S-78086-4 (XRT016)

GPM XRT 8S CNC Chassis Plate

This aluminium chassis plate is engineered for the TRAXXAS XRT 8S 1/6 scale 4WD platform for RC use only. CNC machined from 7075-T6 to a consistent 6.0mm thickness, the component is intended to increase torsional stiffness and improve wear resistance at principal mounting interfaces.

Structural function: installed beneath the front, centre and rear chassis bays the plate mechanically ties the rails together, reducing deflection under heavy load and providing enhanced protection from underside impacts and abrasion. The part is designed as a precision hop-up to produce repeatable handling characteristics and a firm baseline for suspension and drivetrain setup work.

Assembly guidance: supplied with flat head fasteners for direct attachment to factory mounting points; use moderate hand torque to prevent thread damage and maintain correct clamping. The plate is made for direct fit to the specified TRAXXAS model and does not require alteration on compatible chassis.

Packing includes

• Chassis plate – 1pcs
• Flat head screw 4×25 – 6pcs
• Flat head screw 4×30 – 2pcs

Compatible Models

• TRAXXAS-1/6 4WD XRT 8S-78086-4

For precision builders and tuners using the TRAXXAS XRT 8S, this 7075-T6 CNC plate offers a durable, bolt-on increase in chassis rigidity and abrasion resistance while retaining original mounting geometry.

What machining and material specifications apply?

The plate is CNC machined from 7075-T6 aluminium with a nominal thickness of 6.0mm to ensure consistent structural reinforcement and fitment accuracy.

How does the plate alter chassis behaviour?

By increasing torsional stiffness the plate reduces flex and improves handling predictability, providing a more stable platform for suspension and drivetrain tuning.

Is the component a direct fit?

Yes, the part is produced for direct fit to TRAXXAS-1/6 4WD XRT 8S-78086-4 and mounts to the original chassis points without cutting when used on compatible frames.

What fasteners are supplied?

The package includes flat head screws: 4×25 (6 pcs) and 4×30 (2 pcs) to secure the plate to the factory mounting locations. Write Product Review Please sign in your account before you can write any review. Sign In Close
