Infinity have released a number of new optional parts for their IF14 electric touring car. The most significant of the new items being offered for their recent Japanese and German National Championship winning chassis is a 2-piece motor mount. With the motor mount and centre shaft mount assembled separately, this creates more flex in the motor area. Changing of the screw positions in the two pieces allows for further fine tuning of this flex characteristic.
