Infinity IF14 Speciale UPS3 Shock Absorbers

Infinity has released these USP3 shock absorbers for their IF14 Speciale 1:10 Electric Touring Car. The key feature of USP3 is a distinctive double O-ring design that prevents oil leaks while delivering optimal friction. Designed to account for oil loss during assembly, it allows you to easily and reliably build the ultimate shock. The shock body continues to feature the Kashima Coat finish, a hallmark of the USP shock series. The shock piston is identical to that of the USP2 shock, utilizsing a screw-mounted design that maximises shock stroke.

Kato doubles at SIGP

Kouki Kato completed the double at this year’s SIGP, the Infinity successfully defending his 2025 Nitro win and adding the eBuggy title this year in the Xiamen, China. Rescheduled from its traditional end of year date, this year’s earlier running of the race mean’t a much reduced international entry for the Sunpadow Batteries staged race. With a 2025 entry that included Xray’s David Ronnefalk, Infinity’s Bruno Coelho, and Mayako’s Pekko Iivonen, Kato won a thrilling Nitro A-Main last year but this year the Asian Buggy Championships Champion would dominate proceedings. A race that only made its post Covid return in 2024, World Champion Davide Ongaro taking that win, qualifying for the 2026 edition would see the Japanese driver top all 5 qualifiers to secure the TQ honours ahead of Team Associated promising Korean teenager Jung Hyunkyu and 2023 FEMCA Champion Jeff Wang from Taiwan. In the 45-minute final, while Hyunkyu got out front early on for a number of laps, once Kato got back in the lead he would hold on to win by a final 6-second margin, Hyunkyu showing strong pace with the fastest lap of the race. Wang would complete the podium, this being the same order as they finished eBuggy.

‘The Direct Drive Experiment’ – Insights Video

With his ‘The Direct Drive Experiment’ generating huge interest and online technical debates, Infinity team driver Jilles Groskamp has in response to the massive reaction to the ‘teaser video’ produced a second video regarding the unique four in-wheel drone motors powered IF14 Speciale. In the second video the Electric and Nitro Touring Car World Champion goes into more detail about the car build and technology used and is joined by Hans who started the project over a year ago and who brought Groskamp onboard to bring things to the next stage. While Groskamp answers questions regarding the drivability of the car, Hans gives a nice insight into the controlling of the motors and the creation of the software differential. The big debate on Unsprung Weight is also addressed. Watch the Insights Video here.

Infinity IFB8 Buggy platform Option Parts

Having released its first electric 1:8 Buggy, the IFB8 EV, at the start of the week, Infinity has introduced two new option parts designed for both the nitro and electric variants of the platform in the form of Ackermann plates and rear wing mounting nuts. The new -1 Steering Plates give further adjustment of the Ackermann. Switching from the kit-standard steering plates expands the range of available setup options. The red finish Aluminium Wing Fixed Nuts replaces the standard M3 locknut and makes removal and installation of the rear wing easier. For the electric IFB8 EV, Infinity has also introduced 15T and 17T pinion gears to allow racers adjust the final drive ratio and further optimise the power delivery according to track layout and driving conditions.

Infinity IF14 Speciale 1.5mm Alu Chassis

Infinity has released this optional 1.5mm aluminium chassis for its IF14 Speciale 1:10 Electric Touring Car. It is designed to provide increased rigidity and a different handling balance compared to the standard configuration. The chassis is combined together with a dedicated stainless steel screw kit, featuring special thin flat screws specifically designed to ensure optimal tightening and a perfect fit with the chassis geometry. Also included in the new options are lower suspension arm balls, allowing the suspension arms to be mounted closer to the ground. This solution offers additional setup flexibility and helps optimise the car’s handling characteristics. For convenience, the stainless steel screws are also available separately as individual spare parts.

Infinity IFB8 EV 1:8 Electric Buggy

Infinity has released their electric evolution of the IFB8 1:8 Buggy platform, the IFB8 EV. Built on their proven IFB8 drivetrain and suspension, the eBuggy has been developed through extensive prototype testing and real-world race competition. Data-driven refinement has led to a precisely optimised layout and weight balance, delivering explosive acceleration and razor-sharp cornering performance unique to the electric platform. With compatibility across a wide range of IFB8 option parts, the platform also offers limitless customisation — allowing drivers to tailor performance, handling, and character to their exact preferences. Key features of the IFB8 EV Kit include a newly designed main chassis and newly designed centre differential mount and motor mount. The mount allow easy adjustment of the backlash between the pinion gear and spur gear. The centre differential can also be replaced and maintained with ease. Other new parts are a newly designed servo saver arm, new front steering brace, new designed servo tray, and new designed battery tray. This CFRP construction has adjustable front-to-rear positioning for short and mid-size batteries, enabling weight balance adjustment according to the driver’s preference.

The Direct Drive Experiment by Jilles Groskamp

This has the potential to break the internet as touring car racers dissect every aspect of his creation but credit to Jilles Groskamp for this super interesting build he has called ‘The Direct Drive Experiment’. A driver renowned for his technical knowledge and attention to detail in developing car set-ups, having been a kingpin in the glory days of the Tamiya Racing Factory team, the IFMAR World Champion has created a very special Infinity IF14 Speciale that no longer features a drivetrain! Instead the Cayote electronics sponsored driver has fitted the car with four in-wheel drone 1400Kv motors with independent control of each using a micro controllers. Putting the car through its paces at his home track the MACH in the Netherlands, where he won his 2012 ISTC World Championship, could the reigning Nitro Touring Car World Champion be onto something and have just created the future direction for electric touring car design? Watch his video of the experiment here.
