Fenix CRC gear diff & 0.2mm axle shims

Fenix have introduced a special version of their 1/12th pan car gear differential especially designed for CRC’s 1/12th scale pan cars as well as 0.2mm shims to fine-tune the rear track width of 1/12th scale and 1/10th formula cars. Starting with the gear diff, the part features a special red anodised aluminium hub with 4-40 UNC threads to suit US-style wheels. The diff will make for improved traction especially on high-bite surfaces as it prevents any slip within the construction compared to a ball differential, and the red anodised hub is also available separately. Also new is a 10-piece set of 0.2mm shims that can be used to fine-tune the rear track width of 1/12th scale pan and 1/10th formula cars. They can be used with both 1/4” and 6mm rear axles.
