Built from premium 6061-T6 aluminium and hard anodised for maximum durability, this chassis brace has been CNC-machined to exact tolerances ensuring perfect fitment to your Asuga XLR 6S. The 3mm thickness strikes the ideal balance between lightweight construction and rigidity, helping to reduce chassis flex during aggressive driving, cornering and high-speed runs. This upgrade is particularly popular among RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand competition-grade performance from their RC buggies and bashers.
Compatible with all Corally Asuga XLR 6S variants including RTR brushless models and roller chassis kits, this spare part transforms your RC car's handling characteristics by providing additional support to the centre lower section of the chassis. The black hard anodised finish not only looks professional but also provides superior corrosion resistance, ensuring your investment lasts through countless hours of off-road RC driving.
Key Features
- CNC-Machined 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — This chassis brace is manufactured using precision CNC machining from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, which offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio that serious RC enthusiasts demand. The material choice ensures you get a rigid, durable component that won't flex under load during high-performance driving.
- Hard Anodised Black Finish — The hard anodising process provides a durable, corrosion-resistant surface that protects the aluminium from oxidation and wear. The sleek black finish looks professional and complements the Asuga XLR 6S aesthetic whilst maintaining excellent durability through countless driving sessions in various outdoor conditions.
- 3mm Thickness Specification — At 3mm thickness, this centre lower brace delivers the optimal balance between lightweight performance and structural rigidity. This thickness is specifically engineered for the Asuga XLR platform to provide chassis support without adding unnecessary weight that would compromise acceleration and manoeuvrability.
- Precise Fitment for Asuga XLR 6S — This part is engineered specifically for the Corally Asuga XLR 6S, ensuring perfect alignment and integration with your existing chassis. Whether you own the RTR brushless variant in blue, red or green, or the roller chassis option, this brace fits seamlessly into your setup.
- Enhanced Chassis Rigidity — By reinforcing the centre lower section of your RC car's chassis, this brace reduces flex during hard cornering, accelerating and braking. This translates to improved handling response, better traction control and more predictable driving characteristics, especially noticeable during high-speed runs and technical course work.
- Professional-Grade Tuning Component — This is a recognised upgrade part used by competitive RC racers and serious hobbyists throughout the UK RC community. It represents genuine performance enhancement rather than aesthetic modification, making it a smart investment for anyone looking to optimise their Asuga XLR 6S.
- Single Unit Supply — You receive one complete chassis brace per order, ready to install on your RC buggy. Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC car maintenance experience and standard tools.
Technical Performance
The Corally Chassis Brace Asuga XLR Center Lower represents the kind of precision engineering that separates quality RC components from budget alternatives. Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminium using CNC machining, every dimension is calculated to provide maximum structural support without compromising the lightweight design philosophy essential to high-performance RC cars. The 3mm thickness specification has been carefully chosen through testing to reinforce the chassis centre lower section precisely where flex occurs during aggressive driving manoeuvres. Hard anodising treatment creates a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion from moisture, dirt and salt, ensuring the component maintains its structural integrity through extended use. This tuning part is designed to work seamlessly with the entire Corally Asuga XLR 6S lineup, whether you're running the ready to run brushless RTR models or the roller chassis variants. The improved chassis rigidity delivered by this brace directly enhances handling response, reduces unwanted chassis flex during cornering and acceleration, and contributes to more consistent performance across varying terrain and driving conditions. For UK RC enthusiasts who demand competition-grade components and understand the importance of chassis stiffness in RC buggy performance, this brace is an essential upgrade that delivers measurable improvements in handling and durability.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What RC cars is the Corally Chassis Brace Asuga XLR Center Lower compatible with? — This chassis brace is specifically designed and tested for compatibility with the Corally Asuga XLR 6S platform. It fits all variants including the Corally Asuga XLR 6S RTR brushless models available in blue, red and green colours, as well as the Corally Asuga XLR 6S roller chassis versions. This universal compatibility across the Asuga XLR 6S range makes it an essential upgrade if you own any variant of this popular RC buggy.
- Why should I upgrade to an aluminium chassis brace? — Upgrading to an aluminium chassis brace like this one delivers several tangible benefits for RC car performance. Firstly, the rigid 6061-T6 aluminium construction reduces chassis flex during cornering and acceleration, which means better traction and more predictable handling characteristics. Secondly, the hard anodised finish provides superior durability and corrosion resistance compared to standard plastic or less rigid components. Thirdly, this is a recognised upgrade used throughout the competitive RC community, suggesting it delivers real performance enhancement that enthusiasts have proven through testing.
- Is installation of this chassis brace straightforward? — Yes, this spare part is designed as a direct fit replacement or upgrade for the centre lower chassis section of your Asuga XLR 6S. If you have basic RC car maintenance skills and standard tools, installation should be straightforward. However, if you're new to RC car tuning, you may wish to consult the official Corally documentation or seek advice from experienced RC enthusiasts or your local RC retailer to ensure correct installation.
- What makes CNC-machined components better than standard parts? — CNC machining uses computer-controlled precision cutting to create components to exact tolerances, whereas standard manufacturing can result in slight variations. This precision ensures perfect fitment to your Asuga XLR 6S chassis without gaps or misalignment. CNC machining also allows manufacturers to optimise wall thickness and structural design for maximum strength with minimum weight, something that's impossible to achieve through less precise manufacturing methods.
- Will this brace fit if I've modified my Asuga XLR chassis? — This part is engineered specifically for the standard Corally Asuga XLR 6S chassis configuration. If you've made significant modifications to your RC car's chassis, you should verify compatibility before ordering. Contact an authorised Corally retailer or check the official Corally specifications if you're uncertain whether your modified chassis will accommodate this brace.
- What does hard anodising mean and why does it matter? — Hard anodising is an electrochemical process that creates a thick, durable oxide layer on the aluminium surface. This layer is significantly harder and more corrosion-resistant than standard anodising, making it ideal for RC components that experience outdoor use, moisture exposure and harsh conditions. The hard anodised black finish on this brace will maintain its appearance and protective properties through many seasons of RC driving, whilst also looking professional and complementing the Asuga XLR 6S aesthetics.
- Is this a genuine Corally product? — Yes, this is an authentic Team Corally component manufactured to the brand's quality standards. The part number C-00180-870 and barcode 8718057222109 are the official identifiers for this component. Purchasing from an authorised Corally retailer ensures you receive a genuine product backed by manufacturer support and warranty coverage.
- What thickness of brace do I need? — This particular brace is 3mm thick, which has been engineered specifically for the Asuga XLR 6S chassis. The 3mm specification provides the optimal balance between structural rigidity and weight savings for this RC platform. Different RC cars may require different brace thicknesses, so it's important to ensure you're purchasing the correct specification for your vehicle.
