MXLR A12 Fan Holder & Damper Check Adapter

MXLR has released a new Fan Holder and a Damper Check Adapter for the Awesomatix A12 1:12 platform. The fan holder is the final version of the prototype which Max Mächler used to win the 2023 1:12 SPEC World Champion Title. It is not easy to fit such a big and strong fan into the A12 but using smaller than 30mm wasn’t an option because of the sacrifice in performance. At the Worlds Mächler used a heavily modified Fan to clear with the body shell. After several more tests and versions MXLR finally found a suitable way which doesn’t require as much modification, if any at all. They moved the Fan more forward and mounted it way steeper on the holder. The key to still get a great air flow were the small side dams. The results of using the Fan Holder with a strong 30mm Fan at 6,0V is a much lower motor temperature. Depending on the track layout and grip conditions, it reduces the temperature by 12-18 degree Celsius. This leads to the option of using more timing at the motor and/or longer rollout, which means more speed. Weighing only 2,6g (without screws) the Fan Holder is 3D printed with relatively durable material which is able to absorb impacts to a certain degree.

Infinity IF15-2 ‘Hard’ compound composite parts

Infinity has introduced a new hard compound for the composite parts on their latest 1:10 Nitro Touring Car chassis, the IF15-2. Already adopted with huge success on the IF18-3 platform, the carbon mixed nylon material assure more rigidity and response increasing grip and stability. The ‘Hard’ lower front arm set improves rigidity as well as steering response and enables increased racing line stability. It is particularly effective when used under high temperature conditions. For identification all the parts have a H marking laser engraving onto them. Other releases in the new compound include a rear lower arm set, front knuckle, rear hub and upper arm set.
