Infinity IF14 CVD joint cover tubes

Infinity have released a set of joint covers for use on the double jointed CVD of their IF14 electric touring car. The covers are aimed at preventing the G-Clip from accidentally coming off during running. Supplied in two 50mm lengths, drivers cut 10mm lengths for use on each CVD with slight heating of the tube creating the perfect final fit. An extra benefit of the cover is that it helps retain grease in the joint therefore extending the life-span of the parts and the maintenance cycle.

Infinity IF14 alloy bellcrank and Ver.2 double joint CVD

Infinity have added two new optional parts for their IF14 electric touring car which are designed to offer increased steering angles, the latest releases being an aluminium bell crank and Ver.2 double jointed front CVD set. Made from black anodised T7075 aluminium, the new 18mm bellcranks have increased rigidity resulting in improved steering response. The newly designed shape of the bellcrank also makes it possible to achieve greater steering angles than with the standard crank. The Ver.2 double joint CVD has been released to be used in combination with the new bellcrank as they have been designed specifically to offer smooth drive at the extended steering angles that can now be achieved.

Infinity IF14 Ver.B shock towers

Coming from Infinity and made for the IF14 touring car are new Ver.B shock towers. Only launched at the beginning of the 2017 season, the IF14 has enjoyed great success being crowned Reedy Race Champion, German and Japanese National Champions, and most recently champion of the inaugural Chinese Electric Touring Car Championship. With drivers liking the car’s responsive feel, feedback however identified that they also wanted the option of being able to run a more stable set-up to suit various track conditions. The Ver.B towers offer different shock mounting positions which are perfect for when looking to make the driving feel milder than that of the standard kit set-up.

SMJ IF14 & BD8 foam bumper & zero gap foam strips

Coming from SMJ and made for the Infinity IF14 and Yokomo BD8 touring cars are a new foam front bumper and zero gap foam strips. Starting with the bumper, the specially-shaped part allows to fine-tune the body position and distance between the body and bumper as its shape fits most of today’s touring car body shells just perfect. With the addition of the optionally available 20x70mm zero gap foam strips any gaps between the body and bumper are easily bridged for improved aerodynamics and longer body life. The self-adhesive foam strip set includes two 3mm and two 5mm strips that are made out of the same material as the foam bumper.
