New for the Infinity IF14 II, Creation Model have produced a new batch of products based around their new floating electronic plate set. The floating electronics plate allows the receiver, ESC and motor cooling fan to be easily installed and removed from the chassis, helping with maintenance and allowing for quicker chassis changes. The graphite electronics plate floats off the main chassis by either attaching to a centre weight or an aluminium electronics plate mount to avoid affecting the chassis flex. The brass centre weight comes in at 15 grams and additional 7.5 gram balance weights can added to the centre weight to help balance your car. The 7.5 gram weight can also be mounted without the 15 gram centre weight by mounting it to an aluminium plate mount if necessary. The centre weight can also function as a chassis stiffener by adding an extra screw to the chassis. In addition Creation Model have produced an aluminium cooling fan mount that can also be added to allow installation of a 30mm size fan for cooling the motor. This mount is available in anodised black or red.

New for the Yokomo YD-2 series, these new aluminium I-arm’s are for use on the front upper arm of this car. They allow the caster angle to be adjusted within a range of 7mm to the front or back by moving the position of the included spacers, which is a larger range than standard and by including 1mm spacers you can also make smaller adjustments than standard. Despite being made of highly rigid aluminium, the I-arm shape makes the part as light as possible. When changing from the standard plastic part you must use the D-155 series rod end adapter. Available in anodised red, black or purple, they sport the Yokomo logo etched into the top of the part.

OfficinaRC have presented their new aluminium bearing housing for the Awesomatix A800. Manufactured from the highest quality aluminium and proudly made in Italy, this version allows a higher or lower position of the differential (by 0.3mm) compared to the stock bearing housing or their previously released OFC-BH. This allows you to increase the traction and stability of the car or make it more aggressive when changing direction. Designed for those looking for maximum precision and smoothness from their model.
