Can someone confirm how much chassis flex is exhibited on the XB? From what I can tell in Alishmao's (Redcat) videos, there is definitely some flexing going on. Should we be concerned? :confused:


TIA
 
The production release versions are upgraded with a chassis "brace" to help with any flex. Upgrade alloy and carbon fiber upper plates and braces will also be available shortly. I wouldn't be concerned about it.

Has this chassis brace been implemented in the latest XB's? I was looking at my XB tonight and didn't really see anything in the form of a chassis brace to prevent flexing and consequently breaking the diff housings.
 
The XB now has both a front and rear top plate. They come plastic, but the rear can be upgraded to an aluminum version.

Not sure what you mean by top plate for front and rear... what's the part number so I can see what you're referring to? I was looking at the XB the other day and still couldn't see something to prevent the chassis from flexing from a hard landing.

I will upgrade eventually to the 7075RC chassis but was just curious. I saw this brace on the 7075RC website and was wondering where it went. I didn't see a plastic version hence my original question.
