To kick off the 2019 season, a World Championship year for 1/8th Nitro on-road, reigning champions Infinity have released new optional universal swing shafts for their IF18. The new front and rear shafts have had the 3×11.8mm pin position moved 90 degrees allowing for a more free drive transmission at high RPM and smoother suspension movement under high load. In the front, use of the optional shaft gives an increased steering feel while in the rear use of the new shaft increases traction and stability.

In preparation for the 2019 season, Infinity has released a selection of new “hard” suspension parts for its World Championship winning IF18. Made from harder material than the standard kit parts, drivers can avail of front & rear suspension arms and a front suspension holder in the new material. The new parts greatly reduce flex which in the front arm gives the benefit of increased response at high speed and improved consistency in high grip and high temperature conditions. The harder rear arm brings an increase in rear traction along with also improving consistency in high grip and high temperature conditions. Creating the same reduced flex and improved consistency, the front suspension holder also offers an extra set-up option between the standard mount and the optional Aluminium Version providing a slightly milder feeling then that of the aluminium option.
Infinity has released a new wide roll bar for their 1/8th scale Onroad World Championship winning IF18. Wider at the top section of the roll bar compared to the previous version, it has been designed to offer further stability when holding the car and in particular during refuelling.
Infinity has released a USA edition Team T-shirt to celebrate its most recent World Championship title. The t-shirt was designed for this year’s 1:10 200mm World Championships held in Miami in October and was worn by the team during their successful title winning campaign at Homestead R/C Raceway. Featuring the USA colours both front and rear, the t-shirt is available in M through 3XL sizes.
