Fenix X12’18 aluminium & carbon fibre options

Fenix Racing have introduced a range of aluminium and carbon fibre option parts for the Xray X12’18 pan car. First up is a slim aluminium main chassis that is narrower than the standard part for reduced chassis scrub during cornering. In addition the removal of the front ride height shims is now also simplified thanks to machined holes under the front suspension. Another new part is the open design motor pod made from aluminium. The part was developed for the use with the optional upper nerf bar that is available in aluminium or carbon fibre. Last but not least is a specially designed O-ring battery mount that holds the battery pack in a transversal position while allowing for easier battery removal. Thanks to its updated design the link and pivot screws are much easier to access for less stress in the pits and the part comes in aluminium or carbon fibre which allows to slightly influence overall chassis flex.

Fenix Racing MTC1 aluminium options

New from Fenix Racing for the recently released Mugen MTC1 comes this new aluminium flex chassis. Following a similar design, the chassis shape follows the angled battery, thus preventing the front of the chassis from scrubbing on the ground. To better tune the rear of the car a stiffener has been included to be fixed to the lower chassis. On the upper part of the car they released two different upper decks, the short one is meant to work with the short carbon fibre one that comes with the kit, while the long one will be mounted in a more conventional way. Both upper decks allow the driver to tune the flexibility of the rear, also providing one extra set of holes to fix the rear end. Also available is fan holder able to carry both a 30mm or 40mm cooling fan and last but not least, is a 7075 brace for the motor mount.
