Fenix have introduce new wide spur gears for their formula gear differential, a titanium rear axle shaft as well as titanium kingpins for the Mistral kit. Starting with the spur gears, they are of a refined design with a wider gear portion to allow for easier axle shaft offset spacing while maintaining a proper main gear and pinion mesh. Properly used the gears last twice as long as the pinion gear can be run in an inner and outer position.
Fenix Racing have introduced a gear differential kit for 200mm 1/10th scale pan cars. Based off of the company’s 1/10th formula gear diff the 200mm pan car variant makes use of a Grade 5 titanium axle shaft, it comes with a 92 tooth 64 pitch spur gear and ABEC 5 1/4×3/8×1/8 ball bearings. Also included is a standard aluminium wheel hub. The unit weighs in at only 40 gram, it will make for greatly improved forward bite and a 235mm variant for wide Pro10 cars is around the corner too.
Fenix Racing have introduced a carbon fibre chassis for the company’s Serpent SF2 Rattlesnake conversion as well as steering blocks for most formula cars. Starting with the chassis, the included parts are cut from 2.5mm carbon fibre and they fits Fenix’ conversion kit for the SF2 car. Offering more flex the chassis conversion will make for improved traction in lower grip conditions.
Fenix Racing have release an optional 64 pitch main gear for the Delta 1/10th formula gear differential. With 92T it is aimed at more technical tracks that require a shorter gearing. The black colour main gear is made from long-lasting material and a direct replacement.

Coming from Fenix Racing are the DFV2 electric brushless motors. Building on the popular DFV the version 2 offers a redesigned can with additional cooling openings for a lower operation temperature and more consistent performance over a run. Also new are an updated stator with improved wiring and a new epoxy-balanced rotor with 5mm front bearing and improved magnetic strength. Available as 13.5T and 21.5T variant the motors are built to meet EFRA specifications with the company currently seeking homologation for the 21.5T motor to make sure it is legal to race at the forthcoming Euros.
Fenix Racing have released their new F1 Delta gear diff, developed together with Framega. Featuring 4 metal spider gears and 3 high quality ball bearing, this gear diff is offered with an 86 teeth 64dp CNC machined spur gear, in order to ensure the most precise diff possible. Adjusting the diff is achieved with a combination of springs and grease. Available with both, metric or imperial shafts, it will fit almost all the F1 chassis on the market. Available now in pre-order with shipping from mid April.

Fenix have released new optional chassis and pod plates for the Xray X1 and Serpent SF2 formula car kits. Starting with the X1 chassis, it was designed to be way slimmer than the original, reducing scrubbing during hard cornering. Thanks to strategically machining the chassis weighs in at about 76g and it offers a good balance between torsional flex and rigidity. Also available is a suitable aluminium motor pod. Made as a direct replacement for the standard carbon fibre parts are the aluminium chassis and motor pod for the Serpent SF2. Machined from 7075-T6 aluminium and coming black anodised the parts make for different flex characteristics which can be beneficial in a range of track conditions. Additionally Fenix have also announced the Rattlesnake chassis conversion kit for the SF2 that allows to run the desired cross battery position. Included are the chassis, motor pod plate, upper plate and crossbrace.
Italian company Fenix Racing have introduced their new DFV stock brushless motor. The EFRA-approved spec racing motor is available as 13.5T touring car and 21.5T formula variant and it utilises a machined 7075-T6 aluminium can with large airflow vents as well as a 12.5mm sintered Neodymium rotor for controllable torque over the whole RPM range. Pre-shaped heavy duty solder tabs and an adjustable timing endbell round out the package.
