Overview
The Corally Chassis Stiffener LWB Centre Graphite 3mm is a premium tuning component designed specifically for 1/8 scale Team Corally long wheelbase vehicles. This high-quality upgrade is perfect for RC car enthusiasts in the UK who are looking to enhance the structural rigidity and handling characteristics of their vehicles. Whether you're a competitive racer or a dedicated weekend basher, this chassis stiffener works in conjunction with optional front and rear chassis braces to create a more stable and responsive platform for superior on-track performance.
This optional centre chassis stiffener is an essential component for anyone running the latest generation of Team Corally models such as the Shogun XP 6S, Muraco XP 6S, Kronos XP 6S, or Punisher XP 6S. By connecting the optional front chassis brace (C-00180-387-2) and rear chassis brace (C-00180-397-2), this stiffener creates a rigid backbone that minimises flex during aggressive cornering, acceleration and braking. The result is improved handling precision, better weight transfer and ultimately faster lap times on the circuit.
Manufactured from high-quality carbon-fibre-reinforced polymers using precision CNC machining, this chassis stiffener represents the kind of engineering excellence that Team Corally is renowned for in the RC car UK community. The 3mm graphite construction provides the perfect balance between weight savings and structural strength, ensuring that your chassis maintains its geometry under the most demanding racing conditions.
Key Features
- Carbon-Fibre-Reinforced Polymer Construction — This stiffener is manufactured from high-grade carbon-fibre-reinforced polymers, which offers superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to standard plastic components, allowing you to add structural rigidity without significantly increasing overall vehicle mass.
- CNC-Machined Precision — Each component is produced using precision CNC machining technology to ensure consistently accurate dimensions and perfect fitment with your Team Corally chassis and optional braces, eliminating assembly frustration and ensuring reliable performance.
- 3mm Graphite Thickness — The 3mm graphite material thickness has been engineered to provide the optimal balance between weight and stiffness, delivering measurable improvements in chassis rigidity and handling response without compromising manoeuvrability.
- Centre Positioning Design — Positioned at the centre of the chassis, this stiffener works with the front and rear optional braces to create a three-point support system that distributes loads evenly across the entire chassis structure for maximum stability.
- Compatible with Multiple Models — This component is engineered to fit the Shogun XP 6S, Muraco XP 6S, Kronos XP 6S, and Punisher XP 6S, making it a versatile upgrade for owners with multiple Team Corally vehicles in their fleet.
- Simple Installation — The stiffener mounts using just four standard M3x10mm button head screws, making installation straightforward and allowing you to complete the upgrade in minutes without requiring specialist tools or extensive technical knowledge.
- Genuine Team Corally Part — As an official Team Corally component, this stiffener has been tested and approved for use with their vehicles, ensuring guaranteed compatibility and performance that matches factory standards.
Technical Performance
The Corally Chassis Stiffener LWB Centre represents the pinnacle of chassis tuning technology for 1/8 scale long wheelbase vehicles. Constructed from carbon-fibre-reinforced polymers and precisely CNC-machined to exact tolerances, this component delivers measurable improvements in chassis rigidity and handling precision. The 3mm graphite material provides exceptional strength characteristics whilst maintaining the lightweight profile essential for modern RC racing. When used in conjunction with the optional front chassis brace (C-00180-387-2) and rear chassis brace (C-00180-397-2), along with the Battery ESC Tray V2 (C-00180-615), this stiffener creates a fully braced chassis that minimises flex under cornering loads, improves weight transfer during acceleration and braking, and enhances overall vehicle stability. The centre mounting position allows loads to be distributed evenly across the entire chassis structure, preventing twisting and ensuring that your vehicle maintains consistent geometry throughout aggressive racing sequences. This engineering approach is particularly effective on long wheelbase vehicles, where the extended wheelbase can create additional flex points that benefit greatly from centre stiffening. Installation requires four M3x10mm button head screws (part number C-3003-30-10, available separately), and the simple bolt-on design means you can integrate this upgrade without removing other components or disassembling your vehicle extensively.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Team Corally models is this chassis stiffener compatible with? — This centre chassis stiffener is designed specifically for 1/8 scale Team Corally vehicles with long wheelbase chassis. It is compatible with the Shogun XP 6S, Muraco XP 6S, Kronos XP 6S, and Punisher XP 6S models. If you own any of these vehicles, this stiffener will fit perfectly and provide immediate handling improvements.
- Do I need the front and rear braces to use this centre stiffener? — Whilst the centre stiffener can be installed as a standalone upgrade, Team Corally recommends using it in conjunction with the optional front chassis brace (C-00180-387-2) and rear chassis brace (C-00180-397-2) for maximum structural rigidity and handling benefits. Using all three components together creates a comprehensive chassis bracing system that delivers the best performance improvements.
- What material is this stiffener made from and why does it matter? — The chassis stiffener is manufactured from carbon-fibre-reinforced polymers and is precisely CNC-machined for consistency. This material offers superior strength-to-weight characteristics compared to standard plastic, meaning you gain significant stiffness improvements without adding substantial weight to your vehicle, which would otherwise affect acceleration, braking and overall agility.
- How difficult is it to install this chassis stiffener on my RC car? — Installation is straightforward and beginner-friendly. The component mounts using just four standard M3x10mm button head screws, and no specialist tools are required. Most users can complete the installation in under five minutes, making this an accessible upgrade for both experienced competitors and casual RC enthusiasts new to chassis tuning.
- What performance improvements will I notice after installing this stiffener? — Once installed, you should notice improved chassis stability during cornering, better weight transfer during acceleration and braking sequences, more consistent handling characteristics lap after lap, and reduced chassis flex under aggressive driving inputs. These improvements translate to faster lap times and more predictable vehicle behaviour, particularly noticeable when pushing hard on the circuit.
- Is this suitable for beginners to RC racing? — Yes, absolutely. Whilst this is a tuning component rather than a fundamental vehicle system, it is an excellent beginner-friendly upgrade that delivers immediately noticeable handling improvements without requiring advanced mechanical knowledge. The simple installation process and clear compatibility information make it an ideal first chassis modification for anyone looking to improve their vehicle's performance.
- Do I need to disassemble my vehicle to install this stiffener? — No, the simple bolt-on design means minimal disassembly is required. You will likely need to access the underside of your chassis, but you should not need to remove major components like the motor, ESC, or transmission. This means installation is quick and you can get back to racing almost immediately.
