Shepherd Velox V8 EC 2015 1/8th nitro on-road kit

Team Shepherd introduce the Velox V8 “EC” 2015 1/8th nitro on-road kit. The car comes packed with a bunch of few small but fine detail changes that have been successfully tested by factory driver Simon Kurzbuch at the ENS finale in Fiorano where he was able to take the overall win. First up is the new rear shock tower that gives additional room to adjust the position of the centring pin of the rear body mount while the front body posts are now hard-coated to increase the durability. The steering linkage received new smaller pivot balls and ball joints that have less play and wear compared to the previous version while the complete car is now equipped with long-lasting steel pivot balls. The aluminium ones are still available as option parts for racers concentrating on weight savings.

Details such as the aerodynamic front bumper, the 2-piece front and rear bulkheads, the Direct-V-Brake system and the ball-raced wire anti-roll bars remain the same on the 2015 kit as does the single piece radio plate with laydown servo mounts and the Velox-Easy-Flex ball raced sliding bar for optimised chassis flex

2015 kit features:
– New rear shock tower with a longer slot for the centring pin
– New steering pivot balls for less play and lower wear
– New steering balljoints for less play and lower wear
– New hardcoated body mounts front
– Nteel pivot balls for less play and lower wear
