Boost RC IF14 Speciale 1.5mm Spring Steel Chassis

New from Italy’s Boost RC comes this Spring Steel Chassis for the Infinity IF14 Speciale 1:10 Electric Touring Car.  Engineered from high-grade 1.5mm spring steel and developed through extensive CAD design and track testing the chassis plate is designed to enhance stability, consistency and corner speed in medium to high grip conditions.  Compared to the standard carbon fibre chassis, the spring steel version provides a smoother and more linear handling response. Overall traction is increased, rotation becomes more progressive, and snap reactions typically generated by chassis flex during rapid direction changes are significantly reduced.  The result is a car that feels calmer, more predictable and easier to drive at the limit.  Suitable for both carpet and asphalt racing, the steel chassis lowers the centre of gravity and optimises weight distribution, allowing the car to carry more speed through technical sections while maintaining excellent balance.  The chassis is supplied with custom Torx T10 screws, provided in a quantity greater than required to include spare replacements. Track testing delivered particularly impressive results.  During outdoor asphalt sessions on a short 11-second lap layout, the Boost RC spring steel chassis achieved a best lap time improvement of three tenths over the standard carbon configuration. On a track of this length, a 0.3s gain is substantial.  The evaluation was conducted using a 13.5 EFRA motor to provide controlled and comparable performance data.  Boost RC state, ‘Using 1.5mm spring steel gives us complete control over the torsional characteristics.  It allows us to fine-tune the flex profile exactly the way we want.  We’ve seen certain details we introduced, such as Torx screws and the black finish, become a source of inspiration within the market… and perhaps the thickness will be next.’
