Fenix Racing G12 1/12th scale chassis

Fenix Racing have introduced their new G12 1/12th scale chassis featuring the company’s V-link rear suspension. The G12 has been tested in different environments and tracks, in Europe and Japan, with a huge development done by Mr. Kimihiko Yano and his team. The rear end sports 5 different roll centres positions, to grant you the most precise setup, to get the most from your rear tyres. Multiple side links are used to set the rear bump steer in the best way possible and for the front end they tested several solutions, but nothing come close to the CRC front end. Camber, caster and dynamic caster, everything is easy to work on and on top of that, the CRC front end has proven to be super reliable.

Smokem Racing ARC R12 top deck

Smokem Racing’s new top deck for the ARC R12, claims to find the sweet-spot with an overall width that is in between the 2 factory top decks. They then smoothed out the profile for more consistent flex characteristics and added the V-SES top deck’s trademark V-shaped cross brace, optimally shaped in width and thickness to deliver firmer flex in its stock form. This cross brace can also be cut to increase flex, just follow the V-shaped lead-in with a Dremel. This ultimately delivers four possible top deck combinations in the one product, allowing racers to fine tune their R12 exactly to their liking.
