Following on from the recent release of their new IF18 kit, Infinity is now offering a conversion kit allowing owners of their previous 1/8 GP on-road kit to benefit from evolutions made to the World Championship winning platform. The contents of the Stage 1 conversion kit covers mainly the updating of the rear end to the completely new narrow bulkhead configuration. With the Stage 1 conversion drivers will experience the IF18’s new geometry. Drivers looking to further update their original kit can also achieve greater ease of maintenance with their own “Stage 2” update. A Stage 3 update will add a revised drive system. Parts required for the Stage 2 and Stage 3 updates are sold separately allowing a gradual approach to updates.

Arrowmax have introduced their new car width gauge for 1/8th and 1/10th scale on-road cars. The tool allows to precisely measure the car width which is important especially at sanctioned races where the overall width is restricted. The gauge is made from high-quality aluminium and it sports etched size markings for easy recognition of the width settings, machined honey comb holes lower the overall weight and gold colour edge details together with the black anodising make for a luxurious appearance. The gauge is usable with most 1/8th and 1/0th on-road vehicles.

The kit is close to being production ready as are option parts such as as different carbon fibre upper deck, aluminium front anti-roll bar mounts, 15g and 30g balance weights, carbon steel rear axle shafts and a carbon fibre battery mount set.
Coming soon from Trinity is the new Punisher Spec class sensored brushless motors.
