Creation Model have introduced the new Infinity bulkhead alignment tool for the use with the recently introduced IF14-2 touring car. Machined from aluminium and coming in a 2-tone black and red anodised finish the block allows to straighten the front and rear bulkhead assemblies during building and maintenance. The result of perfectly aligned lower bulkhead halves are a tweak-free chassis assembly as well as a more efficient drivetrain all of which leads to a faster and more predictable ride. The set includes the bulkhead alignment block as well as two steel pins that help to further straighten the assembly. The pins can be attached to the bulkhead block during storage and transportation for more convenience.

Capricorn C04 rear linkage system

Coming from Capricorn and made for their brand new C04 platform is an optional rear linkage system. The kit allows to use a turnbuckle and ball cup system instead of the original rear upper arm which will greatly increase the flex of the rear arms, something that can be beneficial in certain temperatures and track conditions. The inner part of the linkage will have the same adjustability as the original design as adjustments of the roll centre will be carried out by aluminium eccentric inserts.

Coming soon from Rêve D is their new dry carbon front bumper for drift car kits such as the Yokomo YD-2 and others.
