Fenix Classique CT2 Formula body shell

Fenix have introduced their Classique series CT2 12-cylinder Formula body shell. Back in the good old days 12-cylinder engines were the hot ticket and for the 1967 season, several teams made use of them. Fenix now recreated one of the popular designs with the new Classique CT2 body shell sporting a highly detailed 12-cylinder engine with matching exhaust system. The lid is moulded from clear high-quality polycarbonate material and it fits Fenix’s wingless Formula chassis and it is available from now on.

Fenix Racing have introduced new titanium front axles for their Mistral 2.0 formula car kit. The axle shafts are machined from high-quality Grade 5 material and at 4g for a pair, they scrub about 50 percent of weight compared to the standard axles, meaning greatly reduced unsprung weight for a more responsive front suspension action. The axle shafts will also fit many other 1/10th scale formula pan cars and they are available from now on.

Fenix F1 70 formula chassis kit – Coming soon

Fenix have released first images of their forthcoming new F1 70 chassis kit that allows to build an easy yet swift base for the company’s 1970s Formula 1 body shells such as the Lotus 78, March 761 and Ferrari T4. Machined from carbon fibre the chassis kit will make for a simple and lightweight base with the 1-piece design – that sees the rear T-bar as part of the main chassis – making for easy, limited adjustment possibilities without compromising overall performance. Also included in the kit come carbon fibre parts such as a shorty LiPo battery mount with O-ring retainer, a simple centre shock mount, and a stand-up mount for low-profile servos. Full details will become available in time of the release that isn’t too far away.

Fenix have released a standard size LiPo conversion kit for their G56-VLink 235mm Pro10 pan car kit. The set allows to use standard-sized LiPo battery packs in order to change the weight balance further towards the rear which helps with traction in lower grip conditions. The set includes a new lower pod plate as well as two upper chassis plates that also utilise the possibility to run a rubber O-ring as the battery retainer. Also new is a carbon fibre 30mm fan mount that was designed to be fixed to the rear shock mounting plate.
