They are available in multiple thicknesses for fine-tuning. They can also be used universally in non-oval applications where redistributing motor mass enhances side-to-side weight balance. Made from high-quality 7075 T6 aluminium, these spacers are lightweight yet durable. Their excellent heat transfer properties help dissipate heat efficiently through the motor plate, ensuring optimal cooling performance. Specifically in terms of Oval racing performance benefits the spacers improve cornering stability in that it balances the car when entering turns, increasing left-side tire traction.

Fenix Racing decided to depict the last Lancia victory, Spa 1985, although the result itself was overshadow by Stefan Bellof crash. Produced in 0.75mm crystal clear lexan, the body is made to fit Tamiya Group C models, Fenix F1-70 and 200mm Pro10 models.
