SMJ Teflon battery tape

SMJ have introduced their new Teflon battery tape that will greatly lower the friction between the battery compartment surface and the battery case. Only 0.15mm thin the tape has a very low friction coefficient while not disturbing a low centre of gravity, ensuring the battery has way less influence in chassis tweak during cornering, ensuring more equal left-to-right chassis flex. The tape also offers protection to the chassis and battery case making both parts look fresh for a long time. SMJ recommend to place the tape on the lower side of the battery case instead of the main plate when running the latest breed of highly machined flex aluminium chassis.

Infinity has released a new Spec 2 adjustable front oneway set for their World Championship winning 1:10 Nitro Onroad IF15 chassis. This is an upgraded version of IF15 front one-way set in which the bevel gear has been replaced with a newly-designed oneway plate. The new design means the one way dampening effect can be better controlled. In addition, this set enables the operation to be more stable for a longer period of time. Silicone oil of between 100,000 and 500,000 and rubber glue or silicon sealing agent are required for assembly. The adjustable oneway plate set is available as a separate spare part.
