Team Xray releases aluminum chassis stiffening post for X4F top deck

# What was released Team Xray introduced an aluminum chassis stiffening post for the X4F. The part is CNC-machined and black coated. It connects the top deck directly to the chassis plate to reduce overall chassis flex.

# Why this part exists Chassis flex affects car behavior in several ways: it can reduce stability at speed, increase unwanted rotation when power is cut (off-power rotation), and limit cornering speed. By physically linking the top deck and chassis plate with a rigid post, Team Xray aims to stiffen the center structure and modify those handling traits.

# What the company claims it does According to the product release, the post:

• Connects the top deck to the chassis plate.
• Increases high-speed stability.
• Reduces off-power rotation.
• Helps the car maintain higher corner speed.
• Is suitable for all track conditions.

# Technical and compatibility notes

# When and where The release appeared on LiveRC on September 16, 2026, as a Team Xray press release. The manufacturer website was listed as the source for the press release.

# Who will likely use it Racers and hobbyists running the X4F who want a firmer center section and different handling balance will be the primary audience. Drivers experiencing high-speed instability or excessive rotation when rolling off throttle may consider this part to alter those behaviors. It also suits setups across a range of track conditions according to the release.

# Practical considerations for users

• Expect a firmer center section: connecting the top deck to the chassis plate reduces mid-chassis flex, which typically shifts handling toward less compliance and more predictable behavior at speed.

# Related parts and context LiveRC also listed related Team Xray product releases around the same time, including new sway bar thickness options for the X4F and a stiff carbon center top deck for other models. A related RC Car Action item described an XRAY aluminum post for T4F & X4F with similar claims, suggesting multiple manufacturers and aftermarket sources are offering comparable center-stiffening solutions.

# Bottom line The new Team Xray aluminum post is a straightforward option part aimed at drivers who want to reduce chassis flex in the X4F to improve high-speed stability and reduce off-power rotation. It's CNC-machined and black coated, designed for track use across conditions. Expect handling changes that require on-track validation and potential additional tuning to get the desired balance.
