Infinity IF14 2 upper bulkhead braces

From Creation Model for the Infinity IF14 2 is two new upper bulkhead braces. Adjust the chassis flex by connecting this carbon brace between the upper bulkheads on top of the top deck. Cut with high precision from 1mm carbon plate it can change the steering and traction characteristics by effecting the rigidity of the front or rear bulkheads. The medium brace on the front increases high-speed cornering while low-speed corner steering decreased. If used at the rear it will give the car better rotation in the rear and understeer is reduced while on power traction is slightly reduced. The soft brace up front gives a good balance between high-speed and low-speed cornering while in the rear it is good balance between rotation and traction.
