Infinity has introduced a new version of the front and rear hub of their World Championship winning IF15-2 1:10 Nitro Touring Car. The front hubs, which replace the conventional front knuckle, are a complete redesign to improve the strength and rigidity of the bearings and other components to significantly enhance front drive stability. The materials used have also been changed to improve crash resistance.
In addition, the ball screw opening dimensions and shape have been optimised to achieve smoother suspension stroke. The rear hub is also completely redesigned with a wheel offset of 2mm to accommodate longer arms and additional ribs to improve overall hub rigidity. The change in suspension geometry stabilises the rear behaviour, leading to improved and stable lap times.

Team Bomber 1:12 HQ Steel Composite Shaft

Japanese 1:12 specialists Team Bomber has released this HQ Steel Composite Shaft. In development for 3-years, this spool shaft does not use the common method of fixing a clamp-style hub on the shaft, but rather a method of pressing an integrated aluminium wheel & spur gear holder directly to the shaft. As a result, the weight balance during rotation has been significantly improved to achieve overwhelming rotation accuracy, and with its precision and strength, it has achieved surprising rear traction. Another feature of the HQ Steel Composite Shaft is the hollow steel shaft section. While a steel shaft it achieves carbon shaft lightness and boasts high strength. Carefully selecting the best steel materials, this allows the tube to be extremely thin while successfully achieving lightness and strong strength.
