Roche P12’17 floating servo plate & spring retainer

Coming from Roche and made for the P12-2017 pan car are a new 1.5mm forward carbon fibre floating servo plate as well as 2mm offset DVS-W shock spring retainer. Starting with the servo mount plate the part is machined from high-quality graphite material and it positions the steering servo 1.5mm forward which makes for a better steering link geometry especially when running Sanwa micro servos but also the micro-size offerings of other brands. Also new is the 2mm offset shock spring retainer for the P12-2017. It fits the DVS-W shock and it allows for improved spring preload adjustment.

SMJ IF14 & BD8 foam bumper & zero gap foam strips

Coming from SMJ and made for the Infinity IF14 and Yokomo BD8 touring cars are a new foam front bumper and zero gap foam strips. Starting with the bumper, the specially-shaped part allows to fine-tune the body position and distance between the body and bumper as its shape fits most of today’s touring car body shells just perfect. With the addition of the optionally available 20x70mm zero gap foam strips any gaps between the body and bumper are easily bridged for improved aerodynamics and longer body life. The self-adhesive foam strip set includes two 3mm and two 5mm strips that are made out of the same material as the foam bumper.
