Fenix Racing STX 2015 aluminium chassis & link plates

Fenix Racing have introduced an aluminium main chassis plate for the WRC STX 2015 touring car. Machined from 2mm 7075-T6 material and coming black anodised the chassis makes for improved stiffness and thus optimised performance especially on medium to high-bite surfaces. The chassis is of a fully symmetrical design with pockets for the motor and under the rear battery area while a slight herringbone design optimises the flex characteristics. Also coming for the STX are aluminium suspension link plates. The parts are made from 2mm alloy and they sport the same black and silver finish as the chassis.

DMS 1/14th Trim2Tune foam tyre inserts

X-Factory UK have introduced the DMS Trim2Tune tyre inserts for 1/14th scale micro off-road cars. The idea behind the inserts was that micro racers were always requesting different width inserts to fine-tune the grip levels on their micro buggies to differing tracks. Unlike many other classes the ranges of inserts on offer were quite minimal, so options were greatly reduced. DMS’s open cell inserts come very specifically as 50mm wide as the most popular width in use is still 25mm and for those racers happy with this width, they can simply cut them straight down the middle. For those who wish to create their own width specific to their requirements, they can be trimmed with conventional scissors to any width desired. The inserts come as pair, allowing to cut at least four inserts from a pack and they are available in a soft, medium and firm variant.
