The direct drive experimentThis has the potential to break the internet as touring car racers dissect every aspect of his creation but credit to Jilles Groskamp for this super interesting build he has called ‘The Direct Drive Experiment’. A driver renowned for his technical knowledge and attention to detail in developing car set-ups, having been a kingpin in the glory days of the Tamiya Racing Factory team, the IFMAR World Champion has created a very special Infinity IF14 Speciale that no longer features a drivetrain! Instead the Cayote electronics sponsored driver has fitted the car with four in-wheel drone 1400Kv motors with independent control of each using a micro controllers. Putting the car through its paces at his home track the MACH in the Netherlands, where he won his 2012 ISTC World Championship, could the reigning Nitro Touring Car World Champion be onto something and have just created the future direction for electric touring car design?

This change in wheelbase and weight balance allows for faster cornering speeds and improved drivability.\r\n* Newly designed PRS aluminum C-hub (minus 2\u00b0 caster angle) improves traction and corner speed.\r\n* The newly designed USP2 shock is 2mm shorter in overall length than the conventional USP shock. \r\n Plastic parts, pistons, and other parts are identical to those of the USP shocks, maintaining the commonality of spare parts.\r\n* New shock spring for use with the new USP2 shock is the newly developed SMJ Stealth Line Spring. The material and manufacturing process of the conventional SMJ Stealth Line springs have been revised to achieve a more smooth initial movement in the early stages of roll.\r\n* New aluminum rear wheel axles are 1.5g lighter per axle than the standard steel ones, contributing to optimized front-rear weight balance when PRS is used. These lighter axles also improve throttle response. \r\n Both the aluminum driveshafts and aluminum rear wheel axles are hard anodized to dramatically improve durability.\r\n* Existing useful option parts are included as standard. \r\n The Team Edition, a culmination of new and existing option parts for IF14-2, offers high potential in a wide range of track conditions and at all race speeds.\r\n\r\n**Newly designed parts for IF14-2 Team Edition**\r\n\r\n* Newly designed USP2 Shock.\r\n* Newly designed Front and Rear Shock Tower, Upper Bulkhead.\r\n* Newly designed Alu C-Hub (Caster angle -2deg.) with PRS (Passive Rear steering System).\r\n* Newly designed Graphite Main Chassis.\r\n* Newly designed Graphite Top Deck.\r\n* Newly Rear Drive Belt.\r\n* Newly designed Lightweight Rear Alu Axle Shaft and Drive Shaft.\r\n* Newly designed SMJ Stealth Line Spring.\r\n\r\n**Optional parts now as standard features of the IF14-2 Team Edition**\r\n\r\n* Alu Eccentric Bearing Holder 0.5mm (T162)\r\n* Alu Diff and Spool Outdrive (T240, T241)\r\n* Graphite (Super Hard) Lower Suspension Arm (T163-SH, T165-SH)\r\n* Graphite (Super Hard) Steering Block (T121)\r\n* Lightweight D.J.
