RC-Cox IF14 alloy steering bellcranks & posts

Coming from RC-Cox and made for the Infinity IF14 touring car are aluminium steering bellcranks as well as a set of chassis-mounted steering posts. The bellcranks are machined from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium and they come black anodised and with red edge details for looks. The ball-raced bellcranks improve steering precision and stability for increased response while also allowing for greater steering throw angles. Also new are aluminium steering posts for the chassis-mounted steering configuration. Like the bellcranks, the posts are machined from high-quality aluminium and a red surface treatment and laser-engraved markings make the parts stand out. Using them will increase steering emphasis especially when used in combination with above steering bellcranks. Both parts are available as separate sets.

Infinity IF15 1/10 200mm nitro on-road kit 

Following two years of on-track development, Infinity has finalised their first 1/10th 200mm nitro on-road kit – the IF15. Extensively tested by the 1/8th Onroad World Champion’s team drivers, the new kit has already shown winning form. In the 2018 Euro Nitro Series, Jilles Groskamp took the car to victory at the opening round and secured the TQ at round 2. The concept for the design of the IF15 was to have the lowest possible centre of gravity and, like its big brother the IF18, create a car that facilitates easy maintenance. As a result of its low centre of gravity, the IF15 provides exceptional steering feeling. The easy access bulkheads make exchanging of differentials and belts easy and reduces the time needed to find the best set-up. This is a feature of the car that is particularly beneficial when time is limited. The kit comes supplied with suspension bushes with various roll centre positions, and three kinds of front and four kinds of rear anti-roll bars meaning the IF15 can easily be tuned to any track.

This ensures accuracy that gives racers a reliable source of consistency when selecting the correct oil for their desired set-up. Such high quality oil also provides more stable traction during race conditions. Available in convenient 60cc bottles, the range of nine different viscosities covers popular options between 4,000 and 20,000.

Infinity IF14 rear belt roller set

Infinity has released a rear belt roller set for their IF14 electric touring car. The set prevents the rear belt skipping teeth which can occur when a heavy load is applied and the belt is deflected. Tooth jumping is prevented by suppressing the belt so that it does not separate from the pulley. This results in providing stability of both traction and braking effectiveness together with an extended belt life. The new belt roller cannot be used in combination with the T095 rear balance weight.

Infinity IF18 Stage 1 conversion kit

Following on from the recent release of their new IF18 kit, Infinity is now offering a conversion kit allowing owners of their previous 1/8 GP on-road kit to benefit from evolutions made to the World Championship winning platform. The contents of the Stage 1 conversion kit covers mainly the updating of the rear end to the completely new narrow bulkhead configuration. With the Stage 1 conversion drivers will experience the IF18’s new geometry. Drivers looking to further update their original kit can also achieve greater ease of maintenance with their own “Stage 2” update. A Stage 3 update will add a revised drive system. Parts required for the Stage 2 and Stage 3 updates are sold separately allowing a gradual approach to updates.

Infinity IF14 aluminium spool outdrive

Infinity has released a new hard anodised aluminium spool outdrive set for their IF14 electric touring car. Finished with an aluminium enamel coating, this creates excellent wear-resistant. Compared to the kit standard steel version, the new 7075-T6 material spool comes in 6.8g lighter per unit. This weight saving helps achieve better throttle response. The spool works in conjunction with the T124 C-blade protector for the drive shafts.
