The LWB (long wheelbase) configuration provides enhanced stability and handling characteristics, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a balanced platform that delivers consistent performance across various driving conditions. The black anodised finish not only gives your RC car a professional appearance with authentic ARRMA styling, but also provides superior protection against corrosion and wear. This is a genuine ARRMA part designed to fit specific models in the TALION range, ensuring perfect compatibility and reliability with your brushless RC speed truck.
CNC machining ensures every component is manufactured to exacting tolerances, eliminating variations and guaranteeing perfect fitment with other precision-manufactured parts on your RC vehicle. This chassis plate is engineered to provide the perfect balance between strength and consistent handling characteristics, making it an essential upgrade or replacement for serious RC drivers in the UK and beyond.
Key Features
- CNC Machined 7075-T6 Aluminium Construction — This chassis plate is fabricated from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium through precision CNC machining, which ensures exceptional strength and durability whilst maintaining a light overall weight, crucial for optimal RC performance and speed.
- Anodised Black Finish with Laser Etching — The black anodised coating provides increased durability and corrosion resistance, protecting the aluminium from oxidation and environmental damage, whilst the laser etching delivers authentic ARRMA styling that looks professional and distinctive on your ready to run RC car.
- Precision Manufactured Mounting Holes — Every hardware mounting hole is manufactured to exacting standards, enabling fast and easy servicing without the frustration of misaligned components, meaning you can spend less time preparing your RC and more time driving.
- Integrated Droop Setting Plates — These advanced tuning features allow you to adjust droop settings in minutes, giving you the flexibility to fine-tune your RC vehicle's handling characteristics for different track conditions and driving styles without requiring additional parts.
- Front Kick-Up Design — The formed front kick-up helps prevent nose-digging during aggressive acceleration and landing from jumps, improving overall handling and reducing the risk of damage to your RC speed truck.
- Angled Sides for Ground Clearance and Stiffness — The engineered side profile not only provides added ground clearance to prevent scrubbing on bumps and obstacles, but also increases chassis stiffness for more responsive handling and better energy transfer during cornering.
- LWB Configuration for Stable Handling — The long wheelbase design delivers enhanced stability and more predictable handling characteristics, particularly valuable for high-speed runs and competitive racing where consistency is paramount.
Technical Performance
This ARRMA chassis plate represents the pinnacle of RC engineering, constructed entirely from 7075-T6 aluminium through precision CNC machining processes that guarantee exceptional quality and consistency. The 7075-T6 aluminium alloy is specifically chosen for its superior strength-to-weight characteristics, offering the rigidity needed for demanding RC applications whilst keeping your overall vehicle weight optimised for speed and manoeuvrability. The anodised black finish provides a protective layer that resists corrosion and extends the lifespan of the component, crucial for UK drivers who often face variable weather conditions. The precision-manufactured hardware mounting holes ensure perfect alignment with other components, eliminating the fitment issues that can compromise handling and durability. The integrated droop setting plates enable advanced suspension tuning without additional purchases, allowing you to adjust your RC's geometry for optimal performance across different track conditions. The front kick-up formed into the chassis geometry helps prevent contact with obstacles during aggressive driving, whilst the angled sides increase both ground clearance and chassis stiffness simultaneously. This design approach delivers the perfect balance of strength and consistent handling characteristics, making this chassis suitable for competitive racing, recreational driving, and general RC enthusiast use.
