Key Features
- High-Quality Aluminium Construction — Manufactured from premium aluminium material, this chassis delivers a significant reduction in vehicle weight compared to plastic alternatives, which directly translates to improved acceleration, better handling response, and enhanced overall performance across various driving conditions and terrain types.
- Anodised Black Finish — The anodised black coating provides not only a professional and attractive appearance that enhances your RC vehicle's visual appeal, but also delivers exceptional durability and increased resistance to corrosion, scratches, and damage from regular use and exposure to outdoor elements.
- Xtra Long Wheelbase Configuration — The XLWB (Xtra Long Wheelbase) design significantly improves your vehicle's stability, reduces tipping during aggressive cornering and turning, and provides a more planted feel through high-speed sections, making it ideal for drivers seeking enhanced control and predictable handling characteristics.
- Precision Manufacturing Tolerances — Every mounting hole is precision manufactured to exacting standards, ensuring perfectly aligned hardware placement that enables rapid and straightforward servicing, maintenance, and part replacement without frustrating alignment issues or compatibility problems.
- Integrated Droop Setting Plates — These built-in adjustment plates allow advanced tuning options for drivers who want to fine-tune their suspension geometry and handling characteristics, providing the flexibility to dial in your vehicle's performance for different track conditions, driving styles, and terrain challenges.

Technical Performance
The ARRMA Aluminium Chassis XLWB represents cutting-edge engineering in RC vehicle construction, combining the lightweight advantages of premium aluminium with precision manufacturing standards that make this component the go-to choice for UK RC car enthusiasts. The material selection is critical to performance—aluminium provides significantly reduced weight compared to plastic chassis options, which improves acceleration response, reduces inertia, and allows your vehicle to achieve faster corner exit speeds and more responsive handling. The anodised black finish is not merely cosmetic; this surface treatment creates a protective oxide layer that guards against oxidation, corrosion, and UV damage, ensuring your chassis maintains its appearance and structural integrity through countless hours of outdoor use. The extra-long wheelbase configuration fundamentally alters your vehicle's handling balance by increasing the distance between front and rear axles, which stabilises the chassis during acceleration, improves straight-line tracking, reduces unwanted weight transfer during cornering, and provides a more forgiving platform for drivers of varying skill levels. The integrated droop setting plates demonstrate ARRMA's commitment to competitive racing, allowing users to adjust suspension geometry without requiring external modification or additional components. Every precision-manufactured hardware mounting hole is computer-designed and manufactured to ensure perfect alignment with your vehicle's suspension, drivetrain, and body components, eliminating the frustration of misaligned parts and enabling tool-free or minimal-tool servicing.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the ARRMA Aluminium Chassis XLWB a direct replacement for my existing chassis? — Yes, this is a genuine ARRMA replacement part designed as a direct fit for ARRMA vehicles configured for the xtra long wheelbase setup. It maintains the same mounting points and hardware compatibility as OEM components, making installation straightforward for users with basic RC mechanical knowledge. However, we recommend checking your vehicle's specific manual or contacting our RC Model Shop team to confirm compatibility with your particular ARRMA model.
- What are the advantages of upgrading to an aluminium chassis over the standard plastic version? — Aluminium chassis components offer multiple performance benefits including significantly reduced weight, which improves acceleration and handling response; superior durability that withstands impacts and crashes better than plastic; better long-term reliability through countless cycles; and enhanced resale value. The weight reduction particularly benefits drivers seeking faster lap times and more responsive vehicle behaviour.
- How does the xtra long wheelbase configuration improve my RC vehicle's performance? — The XLWB design increases stability during acceleration and braking, reduces tipping tendencies during sharp cornering, improves high-speed tracking and straight-line stability, and provides a more forgiving platform for drivers developing their skills. The longer wheelbase also distributes weight more evenly across the chassis, resulting in more predictable and consistent handling characteristics across varying terrain and driving conditions.
- What makes the integrated droop setting plates useful? — These built-in plates allow experienced drivers to adjust suspension geometry and fine-tune how the wheels interact with the ground during cornering and acceleration. This advanced tuning capability enables you to optimise your vehicle's handling for specific track layouts, weather conditions, and driving styles without purchasing additional components or modifying the chassis structure.
- Is this suitable for both beginner and experienced RC drivers? — This replacement chassis benefits all skill levels. Beginners will appreciate the stability and forgiving handling characteristics of the XLWB design, while experienced drivers will leverage the precision engineering and integrated tuning features to optimise competitive performance. The anodised finish and premium aluminium construction ensure longevity regardless of usage intensity.
- How does the anodised black finish protect my chassis? — Anodising creates a protective oxide coating that prevents corrosion from moisture, salt, and oxidation. This treatment significantly extends the chassis lifespan, maintains appearance through regular use, resists scratching and impact damage better than bare aluminium, and eliminates the need for protective coatings or maintenance treatments, making it an ideal choice for UK weather conditions and outdoor usage.
