Fenix Racing Lancia LC2 1:10 Body

Another historical body from specialist producer Fenix Racing comes this 1:10 Lancia LC2 Group C shell.  In 1983 Lancia need a new car to compete with Porsche, in Group C class.  So far, using the synergy of the group, they choose a huge Ferrari V8 twin turbo as engine, tuned by Abarth, while the chassis was prepared by Dallara.  The result was the elegant and refined Lancia LC2, especially in his classic livery.  The fight was sort of “David and Goliath”.  While Porsche 956 was campaigned by the works team and a large number of private teams, the LC2 was used mostly by the works team.  Nevertheless the LC2 was showing quite a performance in terms of raw speed, bringing home during his racing career, 13 pole positions and 11 fastest lap.  Unfortunately, the LC2 was as beautiful as fragile, with only 3 victories.  Fenix Racing decided to depict the last Lancia victory, Spa 1985, although the result itself was overshadow by Stefan Bellof crash.  Produced in 0.75mm crystal clear lexan, the body is made to fit Tamiya Group C models, Fenix F1-70 and 200mm Pro10 models.  Supplied clear, it comes with a set of decals to depict Spa 1985 winning car.

Fenix Mistral 3.5 1:10 Formula Kit

Italian manufacturer Fenix Racing have released a new version of its 1:10 Formula Chassis, the Mistral 3.5.  After 3 years of the Mistral 3.3, it was time for it to be given a ‘tech refresh’ using the immense experience of Dutch F1 racer Jitse Miedema.  The new car incorporates most of the evolution made on the 3.3 during the last year, plus a brand new main chassis.  From the “IDFM” front end, to the revised shock position that gives more room to the electronics, to a new system on the sub-frame chassis.  The car keeps the 3.3 trademark of the variable wheelbase.  The 3.5 is the same car that allowed Jitse Miedema to become Dutch Champ again.

Fenix G42 FWD 1:10 Touring Car

Fenix Racing has announced its first ever Front Wheel Drive Touring Car with the release of the G42.   On unveiling the new kit, the Italian manufacturer says the G42 is way more than an RC Car describing its as “a journey into a new world, with new boundaries to explore”.  About 2-years ago they started to discuss about option to step into the “big” field, aka the touring class and FWD was the option to evaluate the field.  An interesting class with a certain freedom to think “out of the box”.  So, they started to work on the idea due to tending to stay away from the usual solutions and try to explore different options.  Some tech point were pivotal, such as reverse Ackermann steering angle or direct servo.  Having the servo in the front, they need to locate the motor as close as possible to the front axle, as they didn’t want to “mid”.  “Most front” was the option they choose and all the prototypes rely on that solutions.

Fenix Racing R16 235mm Pro10 body

New from Italy’s Fenix Racing is the R16 235mm Pro10 body.  The R16 is originated from a brainstorm session between Julien Parnot, Andi Frattaroli and Fenix Racing owner Giorgio Favaretto.  The idea was to make a 90’ish looking body, but incorporating all the elements of a modern design.  They followed a bit the path introduced with the R14, using some parts of the body to achieve an interesting structural rigidity however the core of body is made by all those voluptuous curves typical of Group C cars like the Peugeot or the Toyota.  The result is a body that is extremely functional: fast on the straight, with a nice amount of steering at the begin of the curves.  The cool 90’ish paint job, reminiscent the one used by “Magic” Johnson, is made by René Bonvent.  The body, which fits most 235mm pan cars, is equipped with a removable Gurney flap and is available in 0.5mm and 0,75mm high-quality polycarbonate.
