Rebellion-RC IF11 WTC wing-to-chassis mount

New for the Infinity IF11 formula pan cars is the WTC wing-to-chassis mount from RC-Carbonstore’s Rebellion-RC brand. The carbon fibre and aluminium assembly will ensure increased rear end grip, better handling, improved stability on bumpy tracks and more predictable cornering. The mount moves the rear wing mount from the power pod to the centre chassis area, reducing unsprung weight. The design ensures only 20g of added weight and it offers three mounting positions for the side tubes. The system is also usable with the popular Xray gear differential.

OfficinaRC brass battery plates

OfficinaRC have added 4 new battery plates to their already existing line up. Designed to give a wide range of possible balancing options, they can be used for all categories, both onroad and offroad, thanks to the diverse range of available weights and sizes. The 23g 130mmx34.5mmx0.6mm is designed to be used with a standard measurement battery and can be applied using double-sided tape on the battery or directly on the chassis. The 27g 92mmx34.5mmmx1mm is dedicated to those who want to use shorty batteries on touring, its size allowing you to balance the model using only the supporting surface of the chassis. The 35g (OFC-007) 92mmx46mmx1 has been designed for anyone who needs to add weight to shorty batteries. Particularly suitable for those who use LCG batteries and need weight positioned at the bottom. Excellent for offroad and formula but also suitable for those who want to use these type of batteries in touring. Finally, the 38g (OFC-008) 131mmx34.5mmx1mm is designed to be used with a standard sized battery and can also be applied using double-sided tape on the battery or directly on the chassis.

West Coast R/C Works fan shrouds

West Coast R/C Works have released their new line of fan shrouds for standard 30mm cooling fans and the WTF Windy. Available in two different designs, open and the directed flow, both designs will improve the motor temperatures significantly over a fan only scenario. However they differ in the way how they channel the airflow to the motor. The open flow channels the airflow to the whole motor can and therefore suits the more closed can design of previous motor generations, while the directed flow channels the air directly to the coils of the latest motors where the majority of the can has been removed. Compatible with most touring cars on the market, they are made out of carbon fibre infused nylon.

New from Rebellion RC comes several option parts for Infinity IF11 formula chassis. The new parts include harder front swing arms with several offsets (+2/+3/+4/+5/+6/+8/+10mm total width), with the offset engraved into the parts, the extra stiffness providing additional stability. A new rear wing mount design allows the wing to be fitted in front of the holder for more steering while retaining rear end stability. A chassis with 4 silicone-dots under the battery helps improve flex-characteristics and anti-slide effect to the battery, with a battery backstop for fine adjusting the battery position completing the releases. All parts are available in 12 different colours of carbon.
