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.
