Infinity IF14 aluminium cooling fan mount

Creation Model has produced a limited run aluminium cooling fan mount for its Infinity IF14 electric touring car. The mount, which comes complete with a 40mm fan, fixes to the chassis behind the motor and is held in place with a single screw and incorporated mounting pin. This method of securing the mount to the chassis minimises any effects on chassis flex. Also able to take a smaller 30mm fan, two screws fix the fan to the red anodised aluminium mount.

Tekno SCT/SL low frequency springs

Tekno have introduced a complete line of Low Frequency springs for the SCT410.3 and EB48SL vehicles. The new design improves traction by reducing chassis oscillation on rough track surfaces and large jump landings. Better stability of the vehicle is achieved, providing more forward grip, increased corner speed and quicker lap times. The spring length has been reduced by 13mm in front and 15mm in the rear to allow for lower ride height adjustments which in turn increases corner speed under high traction conditions, such as carpet or astro-turf, where lower ride heights are essential. With additional coils as well as a larger wire diameter, the new LF springs feature a natural silver finish with a colour indicator for easy spring identification. They directly replace existing springs and are intended to be used on the SCT410, SCT410.3 and the EB48SL vehicles. The set includes two springs and available are five front and five rear sets.
