STRC roll out new Limitless/Infraction alloy optionals

ST Racing Concepts have announced the release of new aluminium option parts for the Arrma Limitless and Infraction speed run vehicles. First up is a CNC-machined aluminium one-piece HD front upper steering post brace and chassis brace mount that greatly improves the rigidity over the front steering and that provides a stronger mounting point for the centre chassis brace. Combined with the rear CNC machined aluminium centre brace mount, the overall rigidity of the chassis of the Limitless and Infraction vehicles increases greatly. Also new is the CNC machined aluminium centre diff mount that replaces the stock plastic piece and improves the alignment and precision of the centre transmission area. The parts are available in anodised red, gun metal, and silver.

Kyosho MP10 steel diff bevel gear sets

Via social media Kyosho’s own Yuichi Kanai has announced the soon release of new steel diff bevel gear sets for the Inferno MP10 buggy. Available in two specifications, for the front and rear as well as the centre diff, the IFW621 and IFW622 sets use the same 12T/18T internal ratio as the IFW403 TCD Gear Set for the older specification MP9 platform, meaning the differential action can be fine-tuned according to the track conditions and the driver’s liking. With the diff action meant to becoming smoother, the new diff sets are recommended especially for low grip or bumpy tracks. The sets include the internal diff gears as well as updated cross pins and full details will become available in time of the release.
