Infinity has added two new stylish baseball caps to its team wear line-up. The first of the caps features an embroidered Infinity logo complimented by a carbon finish visor. The second offering carries a printed “World Champions Team” logo to celebrate the team’s World Championship victories in 1:8 and 1:10 Nitro Onroad. Both caps have a rear band for size adjustment.
Infinity has released both titanium and aluminium screw sets for their IF18 to reduce the weight of its World Championship winning chassis. In the titanium range, the screw sets are offered to cover both the upper and lower sections of the car. The 111 piece Upper set saves 18g compared with the standard kit steel screws while the 47 piece Lower set brings a weight saving of 12 grams. Use of the titanium screws will slightly increase chassis flexibility allowing fine tuning of the car setup for any conditions. In aluminium, two upper sets are offered. Available in black or red colours, the 111 screws will save over 30 grams and offer a mild driving characteristic by increasing chassis flex in a well balanced manner.
Infinity has released a newly designed gear differential for their IF14 electric touring car. Offering smoother rotation and higher rear traction in all conditions, the differential shafts are now supported by ball bearings for added stability and consistency during runs. Another feature of the new diff design is that the outdrive cups can now be replaced from the outside without the need to open the diff making maintenance quick and easy.
The latest addition to Arrowmax’s Arrowspace series of magnesium main chassis plates are extra flex and stiff variants for the Infinity IF14 touring car. About 40 percent lighter and offering greater noise-reducing capabilities than standard aluminium, the chassis also make for different flex characteristics with the extra flex and stiff variant allowing for even greater control over the overall chassis flex. Both chassis feature a white ceramic coating for longer lasting performance.
The Automodellistico 5 Colli club in Gubbio, Italy played host to round 1 of the Italian ACI Nitro On-road Championships this past weekend. Held in 1/8th and 1/10th classes the 1/8th A category, sporting the fastest national drivers, saw Infinity’s Lamberto Collari taking the overall TQ from Capricorn’s Mirko Salemi and Lamberto would also snatch the overall win in the 45-minute main final, leaving behind ARC’s Jonathan Gandin in 2nd and Alberto Picco in 3rd.

New for the Infinity IF11 formula pan cars is the WTC wing-to-chassis mount from RC-Carbonstore’s Rebellion-RC brand. The carbon fibre and aluminium assembly will ensure increased rear end grip, better handling, improved stability on bumpy tracks and more predictable cornering. The mount moves the rear wing mount from the power pod to the centre chassis area, reducing unsprung weight. The design ensures only 20g of added weight and it offers three mounting positions for the side tubes. The system is also usable with the popular Xray gear differential.
New from Rebellion RC comes several option parts for Infinity IF11 formula chassis. The new parts include harder front swing arms with several offsets (+2/+3/+4/+5/+6/+8/+10mm total width), with the offset engraved into the parts, the extra stiffness providing additional stability. A new rear wing mount design allows the wing to be fitted in front of the holder for more steering while retaining rear end stability. A chassis with 4 silicone-dots under the battery helps improve flex-characteristics and anti-slide effect to the battery, with a battery backstop for fine adjusting the battery position completing the releases. All parts are available in 12 different colours of carbon.
