Infinity IF14 lower suspension holders & spacer

Infinity has released two new optional suspension parts for its TITC-winning IF14 electric touring car. New “low” aluminium lower suspension holders give a hinge pin mounting height that is 0.5mm lower than the standard kit supplied version and are offered in the same -40.0, -44.5 and -46.0 range. Making it possible to set a lower roll centre, the choice of roll centre and toe angle is expanded offering racers an increased range of settings. Also released is a new lower suspension holder spacer. Supplied as a set of four, this 0.4mm spacer allows for quick set-up changes. Adding a single spacer at each lower suspension holder gives almost the same amount of change as derived with the eccentric bushing in the 0.5 position but without the need to remove the suspension.

Protoform F26 formula body shell

Following a first teaser image Protoform have officially revealed the F26 body shell for 1/10th formula pan cars. The design is focusing on all-out performance, high downforce and easy fitment and it takes inspiration from one of the most radical and progressive designs that full-scale open-wheel racing has ever seen. A wide, channeled nose provides more front-end grip, balanced by side winglets that plant the rear of your car. Towards the back of the body, a rear deck area featuring a spur gear cover directs airflow efficiently to the rear wing. The area surrounding the rear pod has ample clearance for batteries, side tubes and motor wires, making the F26 incredibly easy to mount. Included with this body is a lightweight nylon driver helmet for an added touch of scale realism. The decal sheet includes steering wheel and seatbelt graphics as well as helmet visors and Protoform logos in a wide variety of colours. This body is pulled in PF’s lightweight, high-quality polycarbonate and it fits most of today’s formula chassis.
