Key Features
- Premium Aluminium Construction — Crafted from high-grade aluminium material, this chassis provides superior rigidity compared to plastic alternatives, ensuring your model can handle the demands of competitive racing and aggressive bashing without flexing or warping under load.
- 2.5mm Thickness — The precise 2.5mm gauge offers the optimal balance between lightweight performance and structural strength, reducing unsprung mass whilst maintaining the torsional stiffness needed for precise handling and reliability through rough terrain.
- FTX Rally MK2RS Compatibility — Engineered specifically for the Rally MK2RS platform, this chassis integrates seamlessly with all other FTX components, ensuring perfect fitment and eliminating the guesswork when upgrading your model.
- Enhanced Durability — Aluminium construction significantly outlasts plastic chassis in demanding conditions, resisting cracks, splits and stress fractures that commonly affect lower-cost alternatives, meaning fewer repairs and more track time.
- Reduced Unsprung Weight — The lightweight aluminium material keeps unsprung mass to a minimum, improving suspension response and overall handling characteristics, which is particularly beneficial for high-speed running and technical course work.

Technical Performance
The FTX Rally MK2RS Aluminium Chassis-2.5mm represents serious engineering for the discerning RC enthusiast. The 2.5mm aluminium construction delivers the performance benefits that competitive racers and serious bashers demand from their RC car platforms. Aluminium's superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to conventional plastic chassis materials means you get genuine performance improvements: better suspension geometry compliance, reduced flex under cornering loads, and improved overall handling precision. The material's natural rigidity helps transmit power more efficiently from motor to wheels, reducing energy losses through chassis deflection. This is particularly valuable if you're running brushless RC systems or higher-power setups where additional stress is placed on the chassis structure. The precision engineering ensures dimensional accuracy that keeps all drivetrain components perfectly aligned, extending component lifespan and maintaining consistent performance throughout your racing season. For RC enthusiasts in the UK seeking genuine performance upgrades backed by authentic manufacturer engineering, this chassis delivers measurable benefits that justify the investment. The aluminium material also offers superior thermal characteristics, helping dissipate heat more effectively during extended running sessions, which can contribute to improved component longevity and more consistent performance as the model heats up during operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the FTX Rally MK2RS Aluminium Chassis-2.5mm used for? — This is an upgrade chassis component for the FTX Rally MK2RS RC car model. It replaces the standard chassis with a more durable aluminium version, offering improved rigidity, reduced weight, and enhanced performance for racing and bashing applications.
- Is this a complete car or just a chassis component? — This is a chassis component only. It is designed as an upgrade part for existing FTX Rally MK2RS builds or as a replacement if your current chassis is damaged. You will need a complete FTX Rally MK2RS kit or existing model to utilise this component.
- What are the advantages of aluminium over plastic chassis? — Aluminium provides superior rigidity without adding excessive weight, resists cracking and stress fractures better than plastic, offers improved handling through reduced flex, requires less frequent replacement due to enhanced durability, and provides better thermal management during extended running sessions.
- Will this chassis fit my existing FTX Rally MK2RS model? — Yes, this chassis is engineered specifically for the FTX Rally MK2RS platform and will integrate perfectly with all other components in that model range. As a genuine FTX OEM part, you can be confident in perfect fitment and compatibility.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Whilst this chassis is a genuine performance upgrade, it is a replacement component rather than a complete ready-to-run model. Beginners typically start with a complete ready-to-run RC car package and then upgrade components like this as they progress in the hobby and understand their specific needs.
- Why should I upgrade to an aluminium chassis? — If you're experiencing chassis flex, cracks in plastic parts, or seeking to improve your model's handling characteristics and durability, upgrading to this aluminium version delivers genuine performance and longevity benefits. It's particularly worthwhile if you're running high-power brushless motors or aggressive driving styles.
