Has your chassis taken a heavy impact and developed a crack? Is the structure deforming under stress? Is the running gear no longer staying properly aligned? The chassis is the backbone of your SCY. It holds all the components in place and absorbs mechanical stresses. When it cracks or deforms, the entire geometry of the vehicle is compromised.
This Suchiyu Running Gear Chassis (Ref. 16101-6001) is not just a simple plastic plate. It is a structural part machined to precise tolerances to maintain wheel alignment, suspension geometry, and the position of all mechanical components. Its calibrated rigidity ensures an optimal balance between flexibility (to absorb shocks) and stiffness (to maintain geometry).
What a New Chassis Changes for Your RC
🎯 Restored Geometry: A new chassis restores perfect wheel alignment and original suspension geometry. Your vehicle regains its road holding and steering precision.
💪 Structural Rigidity: The reinforced plastic withstands mechanical stresses without deforming. The chassis holds all components firmly in place, even after heavy impacts.
🛡️ Component Protection: A chassis in good condition protects electronic and mechanical components by absorbing and redistributing shocks. Less direct stress = fewer breakages.
🔧 Healthy Base for Rebuilding: If your chassis is too damaged, replacing it lets you start fresh with a reliable structure to rebuild your vehicle.

How do I know if my chassis needs to be replaced?
Visually inspect the chassis for cracks, especially around the suspension arm mounting points and body mounts. Place the vehicle on a flat surface and check that all 4 wheels touch the ground simultaneously. If one wheel does not touch the ground, the chassis is deformed.
Is replacing the chassis complicated?
This is an advanced maintenance operation that requires disassembling almost all vehicle components. Allow 1 to 2 hours of work. Take photos at each step of disassembly to facilitate reassembly. Consult the exploded view in your manual to identify the location of each part.
Pro tip to extend the chassis lifespan
Avoid very high jumps on hard surfaces (concrete, asphalt). The chassis absorbs all the impact energy on landing. On hard terrain, favor low and gradual jumps. On soft terrain (dirt, sand), you can be more aggressive as the ground absorbs part of the impact.
