Infinity IF15-2 ‘Hard’ compound composite parts

Infinity has introduced a new hard compound for the composite parts on their latest 1:10 Nitro Touring Car chassis, the IF15-2. Already adopted with huge success on the IF18-3 platform, the carbon mixed nylon material assure more rigidity and response increasing grip and stability. The ‘Hard’ lower front arm set improves rigidity as well as steering response and enables increased racing line stability. It is particularly effective when used under high temperature conditions. For identification all the parts have a H marking laser engraving onto them. Other releases in the new compound include a rear lower arm set, front knuckle, rear hub and upper arm set.

Yokomo BD12/11 3D printed bumper

Yokomo has released its own 3D printed bumper for their BD12/11 platforms of 1:10 Electric Touring Car. It features a 3D-designed honeycomb structure for lightweight construction and minimal weight with the flexible material made to be moderately strong and easily resists body deformation due to aero-dynamic drag. It has significant functional advantages over standard urethane bumpers. Air flowing into the underside of the chassis during driving is drawn into the body from the underside of the bumper, thereby reducing chassis lift and enhancing the sense of ground contact. This tends to improve steering traceability and stability in high-speed corners.
