Infinity IF15-2 ‘Hard’ compound composite parts

Infinity has introduced a new hard compound for the composite parts on their latest 1:10 Nitro Touring Car chassis, the IF15-2. Already adopted with huge success on the IF18-3 platform, the carbon mixed nylon material assure more rigidity and response increasing grip and stability. The ‘Hard’ lower front arm set improves rigidity as well as steering response and enables increased racing line stability. It is particularly effective when used under high temperature conditions. For identification all the parts have a H marking laser engraving onto them. Other releases in the new compound include a rear lower arm set, front knuckle, rear hub and upper arm set.

Yokomo BD12/11 3D printed bumper

Yokomo has released its own 3D printed bumper for their BD12/11 platforms of 1:10 Electric Touring Car. It features a 3D-designed honeycomb structure for lightweight construction and minimal weight with the flexible material made to be moderately strong and easily resists body deformation due to aero-dynamic drag. It has significant functional advantages over standard urethane bumpers. Air flowing into the underside of the chassis during driving is drawn into the body from the underside of the bumper, thereby reducing chassis lift and enhancing the sense of ground contact. This tends to improve steering traceability and stability in high-speed corners.

WRP IV Pro 10 235mm Racing Car

Wolff Racing Products (WRP) has sent us details of its WRP IV Pro 10 235mm race chassis.

Some drivers raced the early cars in Austrian and Swiss races and the success of Wolff’s concept was quickly recognised. The latest version of the WRP family is the WRP IV. The high quality of the parts, the precision and the best suspension geometry are the main strengths of the WRP Cars. WRP is well known in the European Pro 10 scene having already had strong race results proving the strengths of the car. Several packages with or without dampers, springs, servo, driveshaft and other options are available.

Xray X1 Ball Differential Set

Xray has released a complete ball differential set for their X1 1:10 Formula chassis. It is a direct replacement for the gear differential with no other extra parts needed and no extra adjustments. Using the ball differential makes the car more stable and easier to drive, especially in very low grip conditions such as asphalt or low grip carpet. The ball diff increases on-power steering which is needed on almost all types of tracks.

Infinity IF18-3 Option Parts

Infinity has introduced another batch of new optional parts they have developed for their World Championship winning IF18-3 1:8 Onroad chassis. The chassis gets two new carbon chassis stiffeners. The front stiffener mounts on the front part of the main chassis to improve steering response and increase rigidity. The rear stiffener mounts on the rear portion of the main chassis allows for fine tuning by increasing rigidity. A new longer rear universal swing shaft is for use with widened rear track width or high grip conditions with the shaft 56mm compared to the 54mm version. Also new is a 3x5x14mm Post Set that connects the brake mount L/R to the rear lower bulk increasing the rigidity of the rear area and improving rear grip. Another new part for that area of the car is new carbon main shaft stiffener that increases the rigidity of the rear area by connecting the L/R brake mounts. Finally on the list of option parts, Infinity has a range of new 0.8 module spur 1st gears designed for high precision, high strength, and high durability. Gear specifications have been redesigned to provide uniform backlash for all tooth number combinations. The tooth width of the 2nd gear spur gear has been increased by approximately 12% to achieve even higher strength and durability. These cannot be used in combination with conventional 0.8 module spur gears.
