Overview
The ARRMA Front Center Chassis Brace Aluminum 118mm Red is a precision-engineered chassis reinforcement component designed specifically for ARRMA's high-performance 1/7 and 1/8 scale RC vehicles. This upgrade component is perfect for RC enthusiasts across the UK who demand enhanced structural integrity and visual appeal from their ready-to-run RC trucks. Whether you're a seasoned basher pushing your brushless RC monster truck to its limits, or someone looking to upgrade their 1/8 RC speed truck, this front centre brace delivers both performance and style in one elegant package.
Manufactured from premium-grade aluminium and anodised in ARRMA's iconic red colour scheme, this chassis brace adds genuine structural support to the front of your RC car's chassis while maintaining a lightweight profile. The 118mm length makes it compatible with ARRMA's Talion 6S EXB and Mojave 6S models, providing the critical reinforcement needed during aggressive off-road runs and high-speed bashings. The laser-etched EXB logo adds a professional, race-ready aesthetic that catches the eye on the track or at the local RC club meet.
For RC hobbyists in the UK seeking to extend the lifespan of their RC vehicles and improve handling characteristics, this front centre brace is an essential upgrade. By bracing the chassis at the front centre point, you'll notice improved rigidity, better weight distribution, and increased resistance to the twisting forces that naturally occur during aggressive cornering and jumps on an RC course or bashing terrain.
Key Features
- Precision Aluminium Construction — Manufactured from high-quality aluminium using precision engineering techniques, ensuring accurate fitment and reliable performance across multiple driving seasons. Aluminium provides the ideal balance of strength and lightweight characteristics that serious RC enthusiasts demand.
- Anodised ARRMA Red Finish — The distinctive red anodised finish not only looks fantastic on your 1/7 or 1/8 scale RC truck, but also provides superior corrosion resistance and durability. The anodising process hardens the surface, protecting the aluminium from wear and environmental damage during regular use.
- Laser-Etched EXB Logo — The precision laser etching adds authentic visual appeal and demonstrates that this is genuine ARRMA equipment. The EXB branding indicates this component is part of ARRMA's Expert-level parts line, designed for those who demand nothing but the best from their RC vehicles.
- Enhanced Chassis Rigidity — By reinforcing the front centre point of your chassis, this brace significantly increases structural support and reduces flex during aggressive driving. This translates to more predictable handling, better steering response, and improved durability under demanding conditions whether you're racing or bashing.
- 118mm Optimised Length — The 118mm dimension is specifically engineered to fit ARRMA's 1/7 Mojave 6S and 1/8 Talion 6S range, ensuring perfect alignment and optimal support characteristics for these particular models without interference with other chassis components.
Technical Performance
This front centre chassis brace is engineered specifically for ARRMA's most popular 1/8 and 1/7 scale brushless RC trucks. The component's 118mm length and mounting configuration are optimised for models including the 1/7 Mojave 6S EXB 4WD Roller, the 1/7 Mojave 6S 4WD RTR Brushless Desert Truck, and the 1/8 Talion 6S EXB AVC 4WD RTR Brushless Speed Truck in black. The aluminium material choice ensures excellent strength-to-weight ratio, critical for maintaining the performance characteristics of high-power brushless RC vehicles. When installed alongside the required ARA320598 Aluminium Top Plate in black (using the specified 4mm mounting screw), this brace creates a reinforced front-end structure that effectively resists the torsional forces generated during cornering, acceleration, and jump landings. The precision manufacturing ensures that mounting points align perfectly with existing chassis holes, requiring no modification to your RC vehicle. The anodised finish provides both aesthetic enhancement and practical corrosion resistance, meaning your RC truck's upgraded appearance will be maintained through countless bashing sessions and adverse weather conditions typical of UK RC driving environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA RC models is this front centre brace compatible with? — This 118mm front centre chassis brace is compatible with the 1/7 Mojave 6S range (including the RTR, V2, and EXB models) and the 1/8 Talion 6S EXB 4WD RTR Speed Truck in black. It's specifically engineered for these brushless RC vehicles to provide optimal reinforcement without interference with other components.
- Do I need any additional components to install this chassis brace? — Yes, this brace must be used in conjunction with the ARA320598 Aluminium Top Plate (Black) due to the 4mm mounting screw specification. Make sure you have this companion part before installation to ensure proper fitment and maximum structural benefit.
- Will this front centre brace improve the handling of my ARRMA RC truck? — Absolutely. By reinforcing the front centre chassis point, this brace increases overall structural rigidity and reduces unwanted flex during aggressive driving. This results in more predictable steering response, better cornering characteristics, and improved durability, particularly noticeable when bashing on rough terrain or during competitive RC racing.
- Is this brace suitable for both casual RC bashers and competitive racers? — Yes, this component is ideal for any RC enthusiast looking to upgrade their 1/7 or 1/8 ARRMA truck. Whether you're enjoying weekend bashings on local RC courses or competing at UK RC clubs, the added structural support and protection will extend your vehicle's lifespan and enhance its performance characteristics.
- Why is the anodised red finish important on an RC part? — The anodising process creates a hard, durable surface that provides superior corrosion resistance and protection against wear. In addition to the practical benefits of durability, the ARRMA red anodised finish looks fantastic on your RC truck and indicates you're running genuine, quality ARRMA components specifically designed for their vehicles.
- Can I install this brace myself, or do I need professional help? — The source materials indicate this is a precision-engineered component designed for straightforward installation with existing chassis mounting points. However, as with all RC modifications, ensure you have the required ARA320598 Top Plate and follow proper installation procedures specific to your ARRMA model.
