Creation Model have released first images of the forthcoming new Infinity IF14-2 touring car kit. The new platform still uses a traditional “rear motor” layout, however the layshaft and spur gear have been moved towards the centre of the chassis which creates a new drivetrain layout that in theory should make for more balanced forward traction under acceleration due to the rear belt being longer and the front belt being shorter compared to traditional rear motor/rear spur gear cars. With the motor still in the rear, the electronics can be spaced much closer together compared to a mid-motor car which makes for a more centralised weight balance as the speed controller does not hang towards the rear as it is the case with most mid-motor cars. Full details on specifications and features will become available in time of the release so for now there is “only” a handful of pretty decent preview images.
