OfficinaRC IF14 Speciale Horizontal Body Solution

OfficinaRC has introduced their Horizontal Body Solution designed specifically for the Infinity IF14 Speciale Electric Touring Car. The system allows you to secure the rear of the body shell in a practical, lightweight, and highly efficient way, using the same screw as the rear wing. Connection to the chassis is achieved by inserting the posts into the dedicated Carbon Extensions, creating a solid link that stiffens the rear of the body and helps maintain aerodynamic efficiency and downforce at high speeds. Ride height is precisely adjustable thanks to the toothed guide integrated into the Carbon Extensions, and can be locked with a single screw for a fast and reliable setup. The Horizontal Body Solution features a compact and optimised design that has reduced weight to just around 1 gram, while maintaining the required strength and rigidity for competition use. With the set including one OFC Horizontal Body Solution and two Carbon Extensions to suit Xtreme/Zooracing Bodies, Carbon Extensions are precision-engineered high-quality carbon fibre components, designed to provide a stable, lightweight, and functional body mounting solution. An essential element of the OFC Horizontal Body Solution, the Carbon Extensions allow precise ride height adjustment through the integrated toothed guide, ensuring a fast, solid, and perfectly repeatable setup. Each pair is specifically designed for a given body shell and chassis combination, guaranteeing perfect alignment and maximum aerodynamic support. The engraved letter on top makes it easy to identify compatibility with X for Xtreme and Z for ZooRacing.
