Fenix have added new pan car option parts to their portfolio in the form of a general twin damper kit as well as a carbon fibre rear axle for their Mistral 2.0 formula kit. Starting with the twin damper kit, the set is ideal for drivers looking to replace their car’s side springs with a dual damper setup. The dampers accept the popular CRC and Team Associated springs and include four long and four short ball cups as well as two 4.8mm pivot balls, allowing to adapt the kit to many popular 1/10th scale pan cars. As for the carbon fibre rear axle shaft for the Mistral 2.0, the lightweight yet ultra precise part allows for a massive weight saving of about 11g compared to the standard titanium axle, meaning less rotational and overall mass for better acceleration and improved handling.
