Creation Model have produced these softer composite parts for the Infinity IF18-2. The new parts include a front lower arm end and the front suspension inserts. Both parts use a softer material than stock, which helps increase crash resistance and makes the steering response more mild and make it easier to drive.
New for the Infinity IF14-2 and IF14-2 FWD from Creation Model comes three new option parts. First up for the FWD is the flex bridge graphite top deck that features the same adjustability offered on the IF14-2 and which allows you to tune the chassis flex of the rear section of the car. Next up, also for the FWD, is this upper arm mount upgrade set that allows you to adjust the camber link length and height to perfectly tune your setup for any conditions. Finally there is a new 4 degree hard c-hub set which by using it you will notice increased response and improved steering from the beginning to the middle part of the corner.
Creation Model have introduced 4 new Infinity titanium screws, the first of which is this UFO head M2.5x6mm screw. Machined from high quality 64 titanium material it can be used to attach the anti-roll bar holder of the IF14-2 and IF14-2FWD. The other 3 screws are slim head screws that come in M3x8mm, M3x10mm and M3x14mm. The M3x8mm replace the steel slim head screws used to mount the rear chassis stiffener on the IF14-2FWD these will reduce weight and allow for fine chassis flex tuning. The M3x10mm are a direct replacement of the steel rear body mount screws of the IF18-2 and IF15W. And finally the M3x14mm slim head screw replaces the steel slim head screws used in the installation of the IF18-2 front blocks. The wrench size used is 2.0mm, and can also be tightened with a firm torque.

For the Infinity IF18-2, Creation Model have released this rear carbon body mount. Compared to the standard plastic rear body mount, this new carbon mount increases the height of the body by 3mm. In addition, the cross-sectional shape of the carbon plate and A7075 adapter matches the latest body shapes such as EXTREME’s Diablo and Protoform’s R19 without any gaps. This allows the downforce to be transferred to the tires without loss and improving rear grip. The left and right carbon plates can be fine-tuned with set screws to accommodate individual body shapes. The connection to the car body can be made in three step width directions and also absorbs the twisting of the mounting part when toe-in is applied.
Creation Model have released their new Infinity tool line. All tools feature the ultra-lightweight machined aluminium handle that is finished perfectly with the Team Infinity logo and black and red anodising. The overall thickness and knurling position have been optimised to provide an excellent grip. The tips are made of carbide steel and are perfectly sized to fit each size of screw head. Available as a set, each of the tools is also sold separately with spare tips also available. Completing the extensive range is a glow plug spanner, this multi-tool can be used to install and remove glow plugs (8mm sockets), flywheel nuts (10mm sockets), and cap screws (5mm hex wrenches) for the suspension balls on GP racing cars. The available tools include hex tips for 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm & 3.0mm, ball tip hex drivers in 2.0mm & 2.5mm, flat head and arm reamer both in 3.0mm and finally a 5.5mm & 7.0mm socket driver.

For the Infinity IF14-2, Creation Model have released a new line of flex shock towers. By reducing the rigidity of the shock tower connecting point to the upper bulkhead, the stiffness around the bulkhead section is reduced and the overall chassis flex is increased. When used up front it can result in a calmer initial steering response with the reduction in initial stiffness helps smooth out cornering and can help reduce tyre wear. In the rear it allows for smoother rear rotation. The rear tower comes in regular and horizontal body post versions.
Creation Model have released this pair of LD lay down front shock stays for the IF18-2. Made with 2.5mm thick carbon fibre and available in standard and wide versions, the LD stay offers a position one step lower than the conventional tower that is included in the kit while the centre position is the same as the lower hole. It’s designed to be lower so that it does not interfere with the body even when a modern body is installed. Also from Creation Model is this M5x4mm set screw with flat tip which is ideal for fixing the GP car muffler to the muffler stay.
Creation Model have released additions to their line of Infinity Team Spec bearings. These precision bearings are not only super smooth but also extremely durable. Available in 10x15x4mm as a set of two, 6x12x4mm as a set of two and a 6x13x5mm single bearing. All bearings sport the Infinity logo on the outer edge.
