Infinity IF15 1/10 200mm nitro on-road kit


Following two years of on-track development, Infinity has finalised their first 1/10th 200mm nitro on-road kit – the IF15. Extensively tested by the 1/8th Onroad World Champion’s team drivers, the new kit has already shown winning form. In the 2018 Euro Nitro Series, Jilles Groskamp took the car to victory at the opening round and secured the TQ at round 2. The concept for the design of the IF15 was to have the lowest possible centre of gravity and, like its big brother the IF18, create a car that facilitates easy maintenance. As a result of its low centre of gravity, the IF15 provides exceptional steering feeling. The easy access bulkheads make exchanging of differentials and belts easy and reduces the time needed to find the best set-up. This is a feature of the car that is particularly beneficial when time is limited. The kit comes supplied with suspension bushes with various roll centre positions, and three kinds of front and four kinds of rear anti-roll bars meaning the IF15 can easily be tuned to any track.

The 3mm-thick 7075 duralumin main chassis boasts rigidity and flexibility in optimised balance. Steering characteristics can be adjusted by changing the position of the optional chassis weight. The big aero front bumper has guidelines so that owners can easily cut it according to the body shell to be used. This part provides extra stability to the front of the body shell and will improve consistency. The bumper also offers a position for an optional screw-in weight, allowing drivers to adjust the steering characteristics quickly and easily. The front differential comes with a Kevlar-contained resin case and resin bevel gears and the lightweight differential unit reduces understeering. Three kinds of front anti-roll bars are included in the kit as standard.

The rear suspension geometry was designed to provide excellent mechanical grip. Maintenance is easy and replacing the rear differential and rear belt can be done quickly. Four kinds of rear anti-roll bars are included in the kit as standard. The rear body mount securely takes the body shell’s downforce and provides support when refuelling. The rear differential comes with a Kevlar-contained resin case and metal bevel gears. They contribute to smooth and stable operation and optimsed traction. The steering and throttle positions are specifically designed for low-profile-type servos to make the radio plate as low as possible, which allows for a low centre of gravity. The receiver box protects the receiver from fuel and tyre dust, reducing the chance of trouble during a race. It also makes the wiring simple. The 2-speed transmission utilises highly-efficient 0.8 module gears and a newly-designed clutch with the clutch bell being coated with special materials is durable and offers perfect clutch-meet. The kit is rounded out by shock absorber that are the same as the ones included on the IF18 1/8th GP racing car. The single O-ring makes the operation smooth and stable and the shock piston has two 1.1mm holes each at the front and the rear.
