In preparation for the 2019 season, Infinity has released a selection of new “hard” suspension parts for its World Championship winning IF18. Made from harder material than the standard kit parts, drivers can avail of front & rear suspension arms and a front suspension holder in the new material. The new parts greatly reduce flex which in the front arm gives the benefit of increased response at high speed and improved consistency in high grip and high temperature conditions. The harder rear arm brings an increase in rear traction along with also improving consistency in high grip and high temperature conditions. Creating the same reduced flex and improved consistency, the front suspension holder also offers an extra set-up option between the standard mount and the optional Aluminium Version providing a slightly milder feeling then that of the aluminium option.
Samix have introduced a 4-piece set of 6mm offset brass wheel hex adapters for the Axial SCX10 II trail truck. Coming machined from high-quality material and sporting a black surface coating for wear and looks the items help to adjust the truck’s track width while adding 20g of weight to one of the lowest areas of the chassis for improved climb performance. The items are a direct fit and they are laser-etched for easy identification.
Coming from 1up Racing is the Dynamic Toe Control DTCv2 conversion kit for the Team Associated TC7.2 touring car. Based on the back-to-back ROAR National Championships winning design the v2 variant offers a stronger, lighter and more versatile design with the knuckles, hubs, and turnbuckles are all precision machined from aircraft grade 7075-T6 alloy. The knuckle is suspended between two ball bearings for the smoothest movement possible while the outer camber link ball stud threads directly into the hub ensuring there is no bind as the knuckle goes through the dynamic movement. 2.5mm thick carbon fibre arms extend forward from the knuckles. Black anodised aluminium locknuts and shims are included standard. Hardened steel is used for the inner and outer ball studs. The conversion uses 100 percent genuine 1up Racing parts and adds 28 percent less weight than the original for an ultra low CG design with the weight moved towards the centre of the car. In addition the new hub offers axle height adjustment, using a low position for increased stability on high grip tracks, or a raised knuckle for increased off-power steering on low grip tracks. The DTCv2 hubs mount to the stock rear arms with standard hardware. Switching back and forth between the stock rear hub and the DTCv2 hub assembly is quick and easy. The conversion can be paired with 1up Racing’s forthcoming TC7.2 +1.5• and +2• pivot blocks for even more tuning options. These will allow to run a straight inner rear hinge pin without making the car too narrow. The conversion comes completely assembled and required four ball cups for installation.
