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.

Picco V1-3518 & S1-1218 nitro engines

Coming from Picco are the new V1-3518 Team DLC Ceramic and S1-2918 Team nitro engines. Starting with the V1-3518, the power plant is an updated version of the engine that won last year’s 1/8th Buggy Euros in Sweden. The 5-port cylinder, paired with the long stroke design, provides plenty of power throughout the whole power band. The crankshaft received an DLC treatment in order to increase its durability even in the most demanding off-road situation and it rotates in a Swiss-made ceramic rear bearing. The carburettor sports the latest double bottom-end adjustment for fine-tuning and improved reliability and the engine is rounded out by a new cooling head design.

Castle Creations Sidewinder 4 BL speed controller

Castle Creations have introduced the fourth generation of their popular Sidewinder brushless speed controller, the Sidewinder 4. The all- new and improved ESC builds upon Castle’s most popular platform – the Sidewinder 3. The the fourth generation is the first platform running Cryo-Drive technology which reduces operating temperatures in all applications as it is a combination of software enhancements and precision fluid dynamics. The new case is designed specifically for maximum airflow from the huge 30mm fan included with the Sidewinder 4. These changes result in cooler ESC temperatures, increased runtime and power handling. All of these improvements mean drivers can gear more aggressively for more speed and harder/longer runs. The speedo is still waterproof and compatible with the optional Castle Link USB programmer. The speed controller is available separately or as combo package with a range of 14xx series motors.
