Continue the development of its G56.2 Pro10 chassis, Italy’s Fenix Racing has released a new optional ‘Wings to Wheel’ WTW device. Bottoming out and porpoising are familiar terms to those who follow F1, but bottoming out is not only a problem for F1, it happens also in Pro10, especially when you drive in the typical high speed 1:8 European circuits. Nowadays Pro10 are easily reaching over 110kph and contending the fastest lap with 1:8 bodies that developing heaps of downforce, giving the chassis a hard job. Fenix “wing to wheels” aka WTW device has been developed at the MyCandy Arena, the band new track in Lentiai, Italy. WTW allow the body to be “connected” straight to the rear motor pod, thus to the rear wheels, moving the body downforce, from the main chassis to the rear motor pod. WTW is not replacing the standard body retention system but is designed to work together with it and give the best results on big open and fast circuit. A special acknowledgement goes to Max De Nadal, for the constructive support. Fenix WTW has been developed to suit Fenix G56 and G56.2 and the concept is patent pending.
