Infinity IF14-2MID Passive Rear Steering (PRS) Set

Infinity has released this Passive Rear Steering (PRS) Set for its recently released IF14-2MID 1:10 Electric Touring Car. Their most advanced ‘PRS system’ delivers faster cornering speed for the IF14. As a result of the stroke from the suspension arm, toe angle is controlled passively. The amount of toe angle is fine-tuned by the mounting angle of the linkage rod. The Rear caster angle is -2 deg. Additionally the Japanese manufacturer has released a new Motor Cooling Fan Mount Set for its IF11-2 1:10 Formula chassis. Mounting a 30mm size cooling fan (not included) directly above the motor allows for efficient cooling of the motor.

Excelerate RC Prodigy ‘F1’ 1:10 Formula Chassis

Another upcoming release from new entrant to the onroad chassis market Excelerate RC is their 1:10 Formula Chassis the Prodigy ‘F1’. Having shown us their 1:10 World GT-R contender while attending the MonTech NYGP, the Wisconsin based manufacturer also brought along their F1 which is set to go on release the first week of November. Racing at the NYGP, the designer of the Prodigy’s trio of new releases (1:12, World GT-R and F1) Josh Cyrul explained, ‘the ‘F1′ has a lot of carry over from the other cars with the kit going to come with the wings that are pictured which are eXcelerate RC’s own design. It will also include the body and halo in the kit.’ A veteran pan car racer, Cyrul added, ‘the kit will come with a solid rear axle to start with and it will be possible to use other brands gear differentials but we will have our own gear diff coming hopefully by the end of the year.’ Having planned to have the F1 out sooner, he explained, ‘One thing that slightly delayed the release was the front servo mount and rear motor plates. We didn’t realise how popular foam had become over in Europe so we wanted to make sure that right away it can also be run out of the box on foam tyres. So since the first prototype car we had to cut the servo mount brackets mounts more so their will be shims in there to lower the front and the motor plate so you’ll be able to run 55/56mm foam tyres.’

Best known for its RC racing accessories, Randy Caster’s 1up Racing has got creative with their latest apparel with the release of this ‘Drive Fast’ T-shirt. The tee makes a statement at your track or out on the town, with a vintage 1up racer that drove a little too fast adorned on the chest and back. The American company’s signature 1up badge logo rests on the right sleeve to cap off the design. Printed on a premium warm grey 60/40 Cotton/Polyester blend shirt, it has a soft, velvety feel that’s cozy like a flannel but doesn’t pill like one.

Ielasi Tuned Anti Vibration Kit

A simple and small idea from Ielasi Tuned is this Anti-vibration Kit dedicated for 1:8 Onroad use and their 2185Factory muffler. The kit is composed of two springs and two collars that are used to fix the muffler to the car, dampening the vibrations generated by the engine that could cause the muffler manifold to break. Depending on the length of the muffler support wire (each model has a different one) you can use either two collars or just one to fix the muffler.

Excelerate RC Prodigy 1:10 World GT-R pan car

Having announced its entry as a car manufacturer in July with its Prodigy 12 1:12 pan car, Excelerate RC has brought its new 1:10 World GT-R class contender along to the Montech NYGP to display this weekend. With World GT-R WGT a popular class in the US, the second car release from the Wisconsin based company, which is aptly named the WGT-R, is based off much of the 1:12 car and is due to go on sale in around 3 weeks time – some of the car’s metal parts still in production. With Excelerate RC a partnership between Ken Lupi and veteran racer & car designer Josh Cyrul, it originally started out around 1-year ago to produce RC Drag racing tyres. Racing 1:12 himself at the NYGP, Cyrul said the WGT-R is essentially a big version of their 1:12. Like the Prodigy 1:12, it features a stiff high grip 2.5mm Aluminium chassis with a steel roll plate and steel pivot plate helping to lower the car’s centre of gravity.
