Chassis.
All-new one-piece chassis design with more consistent handling in all conditions and improved tweak resistance.
The new 2024 chassis features a revised layout with new side braces for additional flex control, 2 new positions for servo mounting in forward/rearward alternatives related to the wheelbase setting, and a new hole for the alu top-deck mount & battery backstop.
The super-narrow chassis creates maximum traction while still having excellent steering and cornering speed. The chassis’ torsional stability also helps eliminate the “scrub effect” in high-speed corners. Machined from premium high grade carbon fiber material.
Rear POD.
New 2-piece rear POD concept is positioned above the one-piece chassis. The new configuration is more adjustable with improved tweak resistance. The new POD plate is used to set droop, pod angle adjustment and supports the side springs. All-new rear spring location creates more forward traction and lowers CG.

Bulkheads.
New lightweight aluminum bulkheads help lower CG as part of the new POD assembly, with the left side bulkhead adding a cooling fan mounting provision.
Rear Wing Mount.
Rear wing mount is mounted directly to the one-piece chassis which allows to significantly reduce weight and simplified assembly. The aluminum wing mount increases durability and allows complete wing adjustment including height & angle.
Adjustable Wing Mounting System.
The adjustable wing mount system is a unique new feature of the X1. The aluminum wing mount is attached directly to the chassis with the carbon wing plate attached to the mount using pivot balls which allows to adjust angle of the wing.
There are 3 different wing angle adjustments which have direct effect on the car downforce and the car characteristics. A 0.2 mm difference in thickness between the lower and upper shims creates a 1° wing angle.
Rear Assembly.
The rear carbon fiber side spring brace utilizes composite inserts pressed into the plate at the hardware attachment points for easier assembly and maintenance.
POD Mounting System.
All-new lowered center pivot holder controls POD movement and roll center adjustment. A small diameter pivot ball allows for the lower roll center options.
Snap Lock™ Bushings.
All-new super smart XRAY Snap Lock™ Bushings replace locknuts and aluminum bushings. The 13 super small bushings reduce weight and stay securely held in place after installation for easy chassis assembly and maintenance.
Side Spring Retainers.
The new side spring retainers, made from steel instead of composite, produce more precise and more consistent side dampening action.
Center Shock.
All-new center shock provides exceptional bump handling, low maintenance, and helps lower CG.
The spring-free design significantly reduces weight, and the 1-hole piston configuration ensures consistent handling over bumps.
Dampening.
All-new rear POD spring replaces the center shock spring, improving forward traction while offering increased adjustability and lower CG. A versatile soft rear spring is included in the kit.
The spring holder accommodates both conical / progressive and straight / linear springs.
Battery Mount System.
The new battery mounting system works with the graphite rear brace and front battery back stop for easy and convenient battery installation / removal.
Side Link Mounting System.
The narrower and lighter side link stands and M2.5 screws reduce weight. The side link stand features a 2-pin design for more rigidity and increased tweak resistance.
The POD linkage angle adjustment provides additional fine set-up tuning.
Side Braces.
All-new narrower side braces purposely designed to accommodate the new chassis profile for enhanced chassis stiffness. The narrow width saves weight and creates more space for electronics.
Braces use new thinner M2.5 posts and screws for additional weight savings and remove weight from outer perimeter locations for improved rotation.
Front Lower Arms.
The shape of the arm is redesigned around the mounting area to be more robust for improved durability. The extra material reinforces the arm and reduces risk of breakage in serious crashes.
The arm’s special carbon material with a stronger compound hardness reduces flex, increases stability and improves drivability in high traction conditions.
The front lower arm also features two mounting positions to set the car’s front width depending on the tires used to achieve correct front track width.
