Overview
The Corally Chassis Brace V2 Rear is a premium performance upgrade for 1/8 scale RC buggies and short wheelbase trucks, designed and manufactured in Europe by Team Corally. This precision-engineered chassis brace is crafted from Swiss 7075 T6 aluminium and features hard anodised black finish, making it an essential tuning part for serious RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand the highest levels of chassis rigidity and handling stability. Whether you're a competitive racer or an experienced basher looking to squeeze every bit of performance from your RC car, this rear chassis brace delivers the structural support your buggy needs to handle aggressive driving, high-speed cornering, and demanding terrain without flex or unwanted movement.
This is not a complete vehicle but a dedicated performance upgrade component that transforms the chassis dynamics of compatible Team Corally buggies. RC car enthusiasts know that chassis flex is one of the biggest limitations to handling precision, especially in 1/8 scale models where suspension tuning and chassis stiffness are critical. The Corally Chassis Brace V2 Rear addresses this directly by adding strategic reinforcement to the rear chassis area, allowing your suspension to work more efficiently and your steering inputs to translate more directly to wheel behaviour. This upgrade is particularly valuable if you're running 6S LiPo power in your buggy, where the extra performance and aggression can really expose chassis flexibility issues.
Designed to fit all 1/8 Team Corally buggies and short wheelbase trucks across both the 2020 and 2021 model generations, this chassis brace offers exceptional compatibility with multiple platforms. The meticulous engineering and European manufacturing standard mean you're investing in genuine performance improvement, not cosmetic change. For RC buggy racers and serious hobbyists across the UK, this is the kind of precision tuning part that separates a competitive setup from a standard one.
Key Features
- Swiss 7075 T6 Aluminium Construction — This premium aluminium alloy is chosen specifically for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and rigidity, offering substantially more structural integrity than standard aluminium whilst remaining lightweight enough to avoid negatively impacting your buggy's weight balance and performance characteristics.
- Hard Anodised Black Finish — The hard anodised coating provides outstanding durability and corrosion resistance, protecting the aluminium from oxidation, impacts, and the wear and tear of regular use on both track and off-road terrain, whilst maintaining a professional appearance that looks great on any serious RC buggy setup.
- CNC-Machined Precision — Every component is manufactured using computer numerically controlled (CNC) machining, ensuring tolerances are held to exacting standards and every brace is identical, guaranteeing perfect fit and consistent performance across all compatible vehicles.
- Rear Chassis Bracing Design — Specifically engineered to reinforce the rear chassis area, this brace reduces flex where it matters most for handling, allowing your suspension geometry to remain consistent under acceleration, braking, and cornering loads, which directly translates to more predictable and responsive vehicle behaviour.
- European Manufacturing — Made in Italy to exacting standards, this component represents genuine European engineering quality and precision, providing the reliability and performance you'd expect from a premium RC upgrade.
- Multi-Model Compatibility — The V2 design fits Team Corally buggies from both 2020 and 2021 generations, including the popular Python XP 6S, Radix XP 4S, Radix XP 6S, Dementor XP 6S, and Jambo XP 6S models, making it a versatile upgrade option if you run multiple Corally vehicles.
- Single-Piece Construction — Supplied as one complete brace component, eliminating weak points from assembly and ensuring maximum structural integrity and stiffness where the reinforcement is needed.
Technical Performance
The Corally Chassis Brace V2 Rear represents serious engineering focused on solving a real problem in high-performance 1/8 scale RC buggies: chassis flex under load. Built from Swiss 7075 T6 aluminium, this material is significantly stiffer and stronger than standard 6061 or 5052 aluminium alloys commonly used in budget components. The T6 heat treatment process hardens the metal to its optimal hardness state, providing the rigidity necessary to maintain chassis geometry during aggressive driving. The hard anodised black coating goes beyond aesthetics; hard anodising creates a ceramic-like surface that is substantially more durable than standard Type II anodising, providing excellent protection against impact damage and environmental corrosion that can occur during outdoor RC sessions.
The CNC-machining process ensures that every component is manufactured to identical specifications, with precise tolerances that guarantee perfect fitment to your buggy's chassis. This precision is critical because even small variations in mounting points or brace geometry can reduce effectiveness. The single-piece design eliminates potential failure points that could occur at assembly joints, ensuring the brace performs as one integrated structural element. When you install this rear chassis brace on your 1/8 scale Team Corally buggy, you're adding structural support exactly where suspension loads concentrate, which means your shocks and suspension arms can work more efficiently. The reduced chassis flex allows for more predictable weight transfer during cornering, improved traction consistency, and more responsive steering feel — all factors that directly impact lap times on the track and handling satisfaction in recreational bashing.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a chassis brace and why do I need one for my RC buggy? — A chassis brace is a structural reinforcement component that reduces flex in your buggy's chassis frame during acceleration, braking, and cornering. Under the high loads generated by a 6S LiPo-powered 1/8 scale buggy, the chassis naturally flexes slightly, and this flex prevents your suspension from working optimally. By adding strategic bracing like the Corally V2 Rear, you eliminate this unwanted movement, allowing your suspension geometry to remain constant, your tyres to maintain consistent contact patch, and your steering inputs to produce more predictable handling. This upgrade is particularly noticeable if you're running higher power systems or driving competitively.
- Will this chassis brace fit my Team Corally buggy? — This brace is specifically designed for 1/8 scale Team Corally buggies and short wheelbase trucks from 2020 and 2021 model generations. It fits the Python XP 6S, Radix XP 4S, Radix XP 6S, Dementor XP 6S, and Jambo XP 6S models. If you own a different year or model, we recommend checking compatibility with our team before ordering, though this V2 design is engineered for broad compatibility across the Corally 1/8 buggy range during this period.
- Is the 7075 T6 aluminium really better than standard aluminium? — Yes, significantly. 7075 T6 is one of the strongest and stiffest aluminium alloys available and is commonly used in aerospace and high-performance applications where strength and rigidity are critical. Compared to standard 6061 or 5052 aluminium, 7075 T6 offers roughly 50% greater stiffness and similar strength improvements, which directly translates to measurably less chassis flex and better handling precision in your RC buggy. The hard anodised finish further increases durability, making this component an investment in genuine performance improvement.
- What is the difference between this V2 model and previous versions? — The V2 designation indicates this is the second generation design, engineered with refinements and improvements based on feedback from previous iterations. The V2 Rear Chassis Brace fits both 2020 and 2021 Team Corally buggy platforms, offering improved compatibility and engineering over earlier versions. If you're uncertain whether you have a 2020 or 2021 model buggy, both are supported by this V2 brace.
- Do I need professional installation? — Installation requirements depend on your mechanical skill level and familiarity with RC car setup, but generally, chassis braces bolt directly to your existing chassis mounting points using standard fasteners. We recommend consulting your buggy's manual for specific installation location and bolt specifications, then following standard RC setup practices. If you're uncomfortable with installation, our team at RC Model Shop can advise further.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Whilst this is a performance tuning part rather than a beginner-friendly upgrade, it's not complex to install. However, beginners typically benefit more from learning basic driving skills and understanding suspension tuning before investing in chassis braces. That said, if you own a Team Corally buggy and want to maximise its potential, this is an excellent upgrade at any skill level.
