New from Infinity for its World Championship winning IF18-3 1:8 Onroad kit is this Aluminium Upper Knuckle Set, with the Japanese manufacturer also introducing a new Hard Plastic Front Body Mount Set. With the new Upper Knuckle Set not only has rigidity been increased by using A7075, but the pivot height has been raised by 2mm compared to the standard part R300B/300H, providing more responsive steering and changing the camber change rate. To ensure clearance inside the wheel, the ball has been downsized from 8.5 to 8.0mm and the screw cap from 10 to 9mm and tilted by 10 degrees. A specially prepared 8mm titanium ball is included to ensure proper steering angle. The main body is hard anodised. The Hard Plastic Front Body Mount Set revives the plastic front body mounting plate that was a standard item on the first Infinity 1:8 chassis and the IF18. It subtly reduces the powerful front downforce from the body for smoother steering characteristics.
It is always great to see the next generation of racers coming through the ranks with Valentino Groskamp, son of former ISTC World Champion Jilles, taking his first National Championship race win over the weekend. Round 5 of the NOMAC 1:10 Nitro Dutch National Championship took place at the Modelbouw Club De Sluis track in the famous cheese producing city of Gouda, where the 13-year-old took his Infinity to victory in the 30-minute. Towering above Valentio on the podium, Tim Bosmann would finish 2nd half a lap down with third going to Tim Bosmann.

World Champion 1:10 Nitro Touring Car manufacturer Infinity has released a new clutch specifically designed for the use with the popular O.S. MAX-12TG engine. In order to efficiently draw out the power of the engine, which is popular in Japan for its easy power, the clutch has a lightweight flywheel and optimised weight for efficient power delivery. The specifications of each part, such as the yellow shoe, which has been processed to a thin 4mm thickness, have been determined in advance.

Infinity has released a new ‘MID’ version of its IF14-2 1:10 Electric Touring Car. Developed through numerous tests in actual races from the 2023 JMRCA All Japan Championship to the 2024 TITC, the basic structure of the MID’s suspension and drivetrain is inherited from the IF14-2 Team Edition. By equalising the front and rear drive belts and positioning the spur gear near the centre of the wheelbase, the weight distribution front and rear has been significantly altered. In addition to the stability of the IF14-2, it has evolved into a faster cornering car. The main spare parts and optional parts are compatible with the IF14-2. While the conventional split-type suspension holder allowed for fine setting changes, it had drawbacks such as increased weight and complexity in settings. In the IF14-2 MID kit the front and rear suspension blocks are integrated, helping simplify assembly and setup tuning. This style offers easier maintenance allowing you to enjoy more time on track. It is also possible to use the traditional split-type suspension blocks as an option.
Infinity has introduced a number of new optional parts for its IFB8 1:8 Buggy which the Japanese manufacturer officially released just 2-months ago. Included in the new parts are an Alu Rear Brace Mount that is machined from 7075-T6 alloy and which enhances strength and stiffness over stock plastic kit part. Also made from 7075-T6 alloy, they are offering a set of Alu Radio Tray stands to increase the stiffness of your radio plate and avoid undesired movements of your servos ensuring the maximum precision. For the centre diff of the buggy the have created a carbon fibre centre diff mount plate which not only reduces weight but also enhances the rigidity and efficiency of the braking system. Wider +1 mm Wheel Hex Hubs modify the buggy’s handling characteristics by altering steering feel and vehicle roll stiffness. It is versatile for use on both the front and rear ends, enabling smoother steering when mounted at the front and improved traction when mounted at the rear. In addition they have added 45T and 47T Diff Spur Gears, two new front and rear shock springs, two different clutch springs for more tuning options on the IFB8 and alu servo horns options.
Infinity has a new item for its IF14-2 Electric Touring Car with the release of a Carbon Fibre Front Body Upstop Set and matching new C-Hub Set with added mounting holes. The Graphite Front body Upstop Set allows you to mount the body as close as possible without causing contact between the body and tyres and can improve steering characteristics and stability of the car in high-speed corners. The -1.0mm/4deg C-Hub set has been created to work with the new Carbon Body Upstop Set through the addition of mounting holes.
Infinity has released a Front One Way set intended for use in the ‘Wide Spec’ version of its World Championship winning 1:10 Nitro Onroad chassis. The IF15-2W kit gives you a 1:10 235mm category set-up allowing you to easily enjoy high performance and now with the release of the Front One Way Set you can achieve sharper turning and more direct performance on high-grip circuits.
