Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this ARRMA chassis plate compatible with my RC model? — This CNC machined aluminium chassis plate is specifically designed for the ARRMA 1/8 TLR Tuned TYPHON 6S 4WD BLX Buggy (part number C-ARA8406). Before purchasing, verify that your RC model matches this specification to ensure perfect compatibility and fitment. If you have a different ARRMA model, please check with our team to confirm compatibility before ordering.
- What makes 7075-T6 aluminium better than standard aluminium? — 7075-T6 is an aerospace-grade aluminium alloy that offers significantly higher strength and durability compared to standard or lower-grade aluminium. The T6 heat treatment process creates a material that is harder, stronger, and more resistant to fatigue and stress, making it ideal for high-performance RC applications where chassis rigidity directly impacts handling precision and overall vehicle performance. This material specification is why professionals and competitive racers choose this chassis upgrade for their RC buggies.
- Will this chassis plate improve my RC buggy's performance? — Yes, upgrading to this CNC machined 7075-T6 aluminium chassis plate can improve your TYPHON 6S buggy's performance by providing superior stiffness and precision. The rigid construction ensures more consistent handling characteristics, whilst the optimised weight distribution improves acceleration and overall responsiveness. Many RC enthusiasts report noticeably better lap times and more predictable handling after upgrading to a precision-engineered chassis plate like this one.
- What does hard-anodized finish mean and why does it matter? — Hard-anodizing is a surface treatment process that creates an extremely durable, protective oxide layer on the aluminium surface. This finish provides superior corrosion resistance, protects against impact and abrasion damage, and significantly extends the component's lifespan. For RC cars that experience exposure to moisture, dirt, and impact, the hard-anodized finish ensures your chassis plate maintains both its appearance and structural integrity through years of use.
- Is this a beginner or advanced upgrade? — This is an intermediate to advanced upgrade suited for RC enthusiasts who have experience with RC car maintenance and upgrades. Whilst installation may require some mechanical knowledge, the performance benefits are most appreciated by racers and experienced bashers who understand chassis rigidity and its impact on handling. If you're new to RC upgrades, our team at RC Model Shop can provide guidance on installation and setup.
