New for their reference G12, Fenix Racing have released a 7075-T6 aluminium chassis and motor pod. With a focus on indoor races, and developed with the help of Mr. Kimihiko Yano and his team, the chassis sports a different cut-out compared with the carbon fibre version to improve the handling over carpet. Working with the chassis is the new motor pod, which also has a different shape when compared to carbon fibre one.
