The battery is expensive because it’s HighTech with AntiTheft system, app control, temperature sensor, patented welding system and much more. There is a reason why it’s used by nearly all racing teams in Europe.
It‘s the only battery that never caused any fire or other damage. the medium one costs 1095€, the small one even less.
Thats the cheapest way to save 15Kg
Seibon carbon looks really good but has no real weight advantage to parts from Aluminum, if you want to save weight you need dry carbon which is much more expensive.
And I‘m sorry to say, but why you think Novel has „Elite“ products? I really like the whole team and respect what they do, but the quality is far away from „Elite“ quality. The parts are not functional(aside from the new RCF widebodykit, which is great) and it’s no dry carbon or even high quality one. As I said I really respect all the wins at the Nürburgring and the team itself, but the quality is far away from the best you can get.
Compare Novel one:

And dry carbon material, the whole part is made from one! Piece, the small tubes on the Intake are one piece with the elbow itself. There are only 1-3 company’s worldwide who can make it in this quality.
Also some non dry carbon parts as comparison,Novel and the ones in this post are both Japnese products at same price range.

Yes thats true, quality parts will cost more than the cheap fake parts you can buy everywhere nowadays.
But we will still try to keep the prices as low as possible, makes no sense to offer parts which have the best quality, but nobody can afford aside from some racing teams.
Sorry for not posting to much these days, a lot of F meets, some driving at the Nürburgring happened in this time.
Today finally we had time to scan the whole rear section with and without rear bumper.
The designer will continue now with the diffuser.
Really thinking about a widebodykit which improves aero dynamics and and functionality.
But not sure about how many possible buyers would be interested and which model would be the best one at the
The first CCSR bars for the car are also ready.
Talked to one of our producing guys today and looks like we will make some proper TÜV certification

Wow, scanning not just the bumper but with the bumper off so you can get a full View of the actual structure beneath the bumper to build a proper diffuser.
Id buy one in heart beat with proper design, but my personal feeling regarding body kit for ISF is I don't think they'll be a big enough demand for fully functional widebody kit for ISF. Rear diffusers front spoilers, side skirts, Carbon fiber hood, fenders and other Aero Parts absolutely but I don't think there's going to be a big enough to demand for a full body kit for the ISF owners. In my experience most ISF owners tend to be more focused on performance, power, suspension, getting the cars as light as possible weight reduction, light weight rims, functional arrow that will improve their performance. I don't know if it's worth it for the ISF, considering the costs involved in developing a fully functional wide body kit. Now RCF guys seem to be more into widebody kits you tend to see them all over Instagram, YouTube etc. Looking forward to your carbon fiber parts can't wait to see what you come up with.

Hi Roman,
Guess costs would play a big part in it, but I could be interested in the wide body kit if you did decide to go ahead with it?
Im looking to get some bigger wheels and tires soon to help tame some of the added power the supercharger kit has given me, so wider arches would help for sure.
Must admit the current offerings dont really work for me, but if it can follow a similar design ethos to your current work, Id be interested.
PM me if you prefer my friend.
Cheers,
Pete
