Infinity IF15-2 option parts

With the IFMAR 1:10 Nitro Touring Car World Championship coming up in November, reigning champions Infinity has released a number of options for their IF15-2. A new Hybrid Servo Saver Set is a combination of carbon and aluminium materials that helps provide sharp steering characteristics with a highly rigid and lightweight finish. In addition, the included 4.9mm ball and aluminium spacer optimise bump steer and increase corner speed. Also new are Black Brake pads that can be used with IF15-2/2W and the IF18-3. Compared to the standard soft (red), this pad enhances initial braking, allowing you to tune your preferred feeling when entering the corner. By mixing this pad with the standard (soft (red)), you can create an intermediate feeling. Finally the Japanese manufacturer has introduced a Alu Belt Tensioner Flange which helps prevents the side belt from falling off when a heavy load is applied to it.

Xray X12 ‘25

Xray has unveiled its latest 1:12 kit with the Slovakian manufacturer’s newest pan car featuring an all-new one-piece chassis design with more consistent handling in all conditions and improved tweak resistance. The X12 ’25 chassis concept integrates with the front Tweak-Free Suspension and the rear Tweak-Free POD System to maximise performance. The chassis plate’s edges are beveled for less drag on the track surface during cornering to improve handling and efficiency with special cut-outs for optimal flex characteristics. The standard chassis is CNC machined from 2.0mm Swiss 7075 T6 aluminium. A new 2-piece rear pod concept is positioned above the one-piece chassis. The new configuration is more adjustable with improved tweak resistance. The new pod plate is used to set droop, pod angle adjustment and supports the side springs. All-new rear spring location creates more forward traction and lowers CG. New lightweight aluminium bulkheads help lower CG as part of the new POD assembly, with the left side bulkhead adding a cooling fan mounting provision.

Hobbywing XeRun XR10 PRO DR Drag Racing ESC

Hobbywing has released a new Drag Racing version of their very popular & successful XeRun XR10 PRO ESC. Features a high-performance 32-bit M4 microprocessor, it uses software optimised and based on the world championship winning XeRun XR10 PRO G2S to provide the best control and performance for Drag Racing. Compared to the XeRun XR10 PRO G2S ESC, the response time is reduced when the throttle acceleration is set to the maximum at 30. The ESC comes standard with a 9900uF ultra-large capacitor. The capacitance is increased by nearly 9 times to ensure that the ESC voltage remains stable during extreme power output. A frameless fan with patented technology is adopted to dissipate a large amount of air through the sides of the fan. In addition, the internal power board is covered with a copper heat-conducting busbar to generate internal heat transfer to the integrated casing radiator. The heat dissipation system ensures that the ESC is always reliable and in good heat dissipation condition at all times.
