RC Maker Geocarbon Tweak Plate 1:10 Onroad

RC Maker has as part of its latest batch of product releases introduced this Geocarbon Tweak Plate for 1:10 Onroad. De-tweaking your chassis is an absolutely essential, and an ongoing part of onroad racing. Having a flat chassis is crucial to balanced and consistent handling. Often a setup board is used, which requires the removal of tyres and has no access to the lower screws from underneath. This is a problem, and why we developed the GeoCarbon Tweak Plate! The beauty of the GeoCarbon Tweak Plate, is that it can be used with the tires on, and also provides access to essential bulkhead and motor-mount screws. This allows you to keep the chassis flat or pinned down with a tweak stick whilst you tighten the lower screws, ensuring no tweak is introduced on the lower screws – which has never been possible until now! The GeoCarbon Tweak Plate can also double as a car stand. It features 5mm Thick Solid Carbon Fiber, with high quality feet and anti slip rubber pads to ensure it stays in place and stands the test of time. Suits all current Touring & Front Wheel Drive Cars on the market.

Infinity IF14-2 ‘Team Edition’

Creation Model has officially released details of their new Infinity IF14-2 ‘Team Edition’ 1:10 Electric Touring Car. Used by the team at the ISTC World Championships in Italy, where Jilles Groskamp qualified the car fifth on the grid, the car was developed with input from gathered in testing by its team drivers. While still sharing many spare and optional parts with the IF14-2, the Team Edition has a number of key changes to enhance performance. The rear section has been moved forward by approximately 1.2mm from the original IF14-2. This change in wheelbase and weight balance allows for faster cornering speeds and improved drivability. Newly designed PRS aluminium C-hub (minus 2° caster angle) improves traction and corner speed.
