Infinity has introduced two new parts designed to enhance the performance and competitiveness of the suspension system on its IF18-3 1:8 Onroad chassis. Updated carbon lower shock mounts are machined from approximately 0.1mm thicker plate to ensure greater strength and precision in set-up. New low-friction treated balls for the lower uniball have also been developed, with revised dimensions to eliminate any possible interference with the wheels. Special surface treatment significantly reduces friction, enabling smooth suspension operation while the ball centre height is set lower at 2.95mm compared to 3.1mm for the previous model. The prevents interference with the wheel and is also ideal when converting the IF15-2 rear upper rod to 5.8mm. The flange diameter at the base is reduced by 1mm to ensure clearance with the wheel. The inner side features a low-profile design that increases the slant angle, enhancing grip performance during acceleration.

Falling short of what 1:10 Formula racing fans might have been hoping for after their F1 teaser, Team Associated has announced the release of the RC10 F6 Classic Edition. While we can still hope for a fully modern competition spec Formula car from the US manufacturer given they re-released the TC7.2 Factory Team Kit before we eventually got the brand new TC8, AE say their engineers have assembled a modern re-imagining of the classic RC10F6 FT Kit, introducing fresh elements into a race-proven design, ushering the platform into a new era. Featuring an anodised gold chassis, a feature of its RC10 Buggy re-releases, the F6 FT Classic comes with a full cast of setting options, an ultra-low centre of mass, and sleek styling, which they claim will put you at the front of the Formula grid.
