Chassis braces are critical components in the world of competitive RC driving and weekend bashing alike. By reinforcing the rear center of your chassis, this brace reduces flex and improves handling consistency, which is particularly important when you're pushing your brushless RC buggy to its limits on rough terrain. The 87mm length makes this brace compatible with ARRMA's range of premium 1/8 scale vehicles, and it's an investment that will pay dividends in improved durability and performance over time.
If you're looking to enhance your ready-to-run RC buggy or add structural support to an existing build, this aluminium chassis brace represents genuine value for money. It's the kind of upgrade that serious RC car UK enthusiasts choose to extend the lifespan of their vehicles and improve on-track behaviour.
Key Features
- High-Quality Aluminium Construction — This chassis brace is precision manufactured from premium-grade aluminium, offering an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio that won't add unnecessary mass to your vehicle whilst providing the structural support you need for aggressive driving.
- Anodised ARRMA Red Finish — The durable anodised red colour matches ARRMA's signature styling perfectly, protecting the aluminium from corrosion whilst giving your RC buggy or stunt truck a cohesive, factory-finished appearance that looks professional both in the box and on the track.
- Laser-Etched EXB Logo — The precision laser-etched EXB branding adds genuine visual appeal and confirms authenticity, making this a component that looks as good as it performs when you're inspecting your vehicle between races or during maintenance.
- Rear Chassis Reinforcement — By providing centralised support to the rear of the chassis, this brace reduces unwanted flex and movement, improving handling predictability and extending component lifespan under the stresses of high-speed running on varied terrain.
- Universal Fitment for ARRMA 6S Models — Designed to fit a range of ARRMA's premium 1/8 scale vehicles, this brace is an OEM-quality upgrade that integrates seamlessly with your existing setup, whether you're running a Notorious, Outcast, or Typhon platform.
Technical Performance
This rear center chassis brace represents ARRMA's commitment to precision engineering and component quality. The 87mm length specification is optimised for 1/8 scale chassis geometry, providing optimal leverage and support distribution across the rear chassis area. Aluminium is the material of choice for RC chassis braces because it combines light weight with exceptional rigidity — crucial factors when you're trying to maintain chassis integrity during aggressive cornering, jumps, and high-impact landings typical of brushless RC buggy and stunt truck driving. The anodising process used on this component creates a protective oxide layer that resists the corrosive effects of moisture, dust, and the inevitable contact with dirt and water that comes with outdoor RC car UK driving. The precision manufacturing tolerances ensure that the brace fits perfectly within ARRMA's chassis design without requiring modification or shimming. This level of fit and finish is what separates genuine OEM ARRMA components from aftermarket alternatives, and it's why serious RC drivers specify genuine parts for their vehicles. Whether you're competing in organised RC racing events or enjoying casual backyard bashing, the improved chassis rigidity provided by this brace will be noticeable in improved handling response and reduced stress on other chassis components.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this rear center chassis brace compatible with my ARRMA 6S vehicle? — Yes, this brace is designed to fit ARRMA's range of 1/8 scale 6S models including the Notorious 6S, Outcast 6S, and Typhon 6S. The 87mm length matches the rear chassis geometry of these vehicles perfectly. You can verify compatibility by checking your vehicle's model against ARRMA's compatibility list.
- Will this chassis brace improve my RC buggy's handling? — Absolutely. By reducing flex in the rear chassis area, this brace provides a more rigid platform for your suspension to work against, resulting in more consistent handling characteristics, improved cornering stability, and better predictability during aggressive driving manoeuvres.
- Is installation difficult? — The installation process is straightforward and does not require any modifications to your vehicle. The brace simply bolts onto the existing chassis mounting points using standard ARRMA hardware.
- Why choose this over plastic alternatives? — Aluminium offers superior strength and rigidity compared to plastic components whilst remaining lightweight. The anodised finish also provides excellent corrosion resistance, meaning this component will maintain its appearance and performance through years of regular use and outdoor RC driving in the UK.
- Can I use this on multiple vehicles? — If you own multiple ARRMA 6S models with the same chassis geometry, you could potentially move this brace between vehicles, though it's typically installed as a permanent upgrade to a single vehicle for best performance.
