Infinity IF14 rear belt roller set

Infinity has released a rear belt roller set for their IF14 electric touring car. The set prevents the rear belt skipping teeth which can occur when a heavy load is applied and the belt is deflected. Tooth jumping is prevented by suppressing the belt so that it does not separate from the pulley. This results in providing stability of both traction and braking effectiveness together with an extended belt life. The new belt roller cannot be used in combination with the T095 rear balance weight.
