Fenix X1 & SF2 aluminium chassis parts

Fenix have released new optional chassis and pod plates for the Xray X1 and Serpent SF2 formula car kits. Starting with the X1 chassis, it was designed to be way slimmer than the original, reducing scrubbing during hard cornering. Thanks to strategically machining the chassis weighs in at about 76g and it offers a good balance between torsional flex and rigidity. Also available is a suitable aluminium motor pod. Made as a direct replacement for the standard carbon fibre parts are the aluminium chassis and motor pod for the Serpent SF2. Machined from 7075-T6 aluminium and coming black anodised the parts make for different flex characteristics which can be beneficial in a range of track conditions. Additionally Fenix have also announced the Rattlesnake chassis conversion kit for the SF2 that allows to run the desired cross battery position. Included are the chassis, motor pod plate, upper plate and crossbrace.
