R0393 - CHASSIS STIFFENER R (IF18-3/CARBON)

A new material has been adopted that reduces friction with the drive belt compared to conventional products while minimizing wear to the utmost extent.

Compared to the standard plastic rear body mount, this new carbon mount increases the height of the body by 3mm (Almost the limit within the regulation of IFMAR). In addition, the cross-sectional shape of the carbon plate and A7075 adapter matches the latest body shapes such as XTREAM's Diablo and Protoform's R19 without any gaps. This allows the downforce to be transferred to the tires without loss and improving rear grip. The left and right carbon plates can be fine-tuned with set screws to accommodate individual body shapes. The connection to the car body can be made in three step width directions, and also absorbs the twisting of the mounting part when toe-in is applied.

The use of lightweight titanium screws inside the two-speed unit contributes to improved engine pickup. The screw head is shaped to achieve the lightest weight possible.

Maintenance and adjustability is greatly improved with this servo saver arm by mounting to the steering rod upper side.  Also, by changing and optimizing the arm length of the servo saver, the steering response will be higher than before.

A new aluminium servo horn designed specifically for IF18. 23T specification for servos made by Sanwa and KO. By making the shape of the arm offset it is possible to achieve the maximum steering angle with a linear steering operation. Use in combination with R0259 Aluminium servo saver (up side).

IF18-3 setting parts

This set of Φ8.5mm titanium ball screws is for use with the IF18-2. (Set includes 4 normal size and 2 long size) For smooth and light driving.

A carbon stiffener that can be added to the front lower arm to increase rigidity. Increased steering response and higher cornering speeds can be achieved in certain conditions. Its also possible to adjust the flex and rigidity by the number of mounting screws used.

Body stiffener for 1/8 body (Only small type)
