IGT8 have introduced a new range of module 0.8 pinions for nitro GT cars. The gears are made from high-quality aluminium and then hard-coated to ensure low wear. Also new are the 17T for first gear and 22T for second gear.

Coming from IGT8 is a new 4-shoe clutch set. The clutch provides a wide range of tuning options, including a very aggressive setting for high traction GT racing. Looking similar to other designs, its unique initial spring preload ensures a more consistent engagement during extended runs where a good clutch is critical. The clutch fits the IGT8 GT and most GT cars.

IGT8 have announce the release of the 2017 version of their high-performance IFMAR spec 1/8th nitro GT chassis. Updates include an optimised suspension geometry for less roll and more traction, harder suspension arms for less flex and increased response as well as a lighter and smaller transmission with 0.8 pitch. Also included in the kit are a lightweight high performance clutch bell for better acceleration and all features that were previously part of the IGT8 Red. The new car, a successor of the proven and aforementioned IGT8 Red, is expected to hit the market in May 2017.
IGT8 have announced the signing of high-profile racer Paolo Morganti for the 2017 season. Paolo will be attending most big events throughout North, Central and South America while also assisting with product development. IGT8 and Paolo begin this new relationship just in time for probably the largest GT event of the year, “The Pan American”, which is being held later this week at Homestead RC Raceway. Paolo has the following to say:
I will like to thank Rino Lino, Frankie Vega and the rest of the IGT8 staff for the opportunity to join this passionate and growing company. I will be at this weekend’s “Pan American GT race” running my IGT8Red. Please stop by to ask any questions and get help if needed. Look forward to seeing everyone at the track.
