Infinity has released a new Multi Flex chassis for their IF18. Used by the team’s driver at the 2019 World Championships where the car secured the TQ and Super Pole, the chassis offers increased corner speed while also offering a smoother feel. This has been achieved by changing the shape of both the front and the rear of the chassis. It is also possible to change the characteristics for different track conditions by adding a separately sold carbon plate to increase rigidity of the front section and adding an M3 screw to the rear.
Ruddog Distribution have introduced their new line of High Voltage standard size servos.
