Shepherd Velox V10 -1mm short aluminium wheel axles

Coming from Shepherd and made for the Velox V10 are 1mm shorter wheel axles for the standard CVD driveshafts. Complementing the respective dogbone-specific parts introduced earlier this year the high-quality and hard-coated 7075-T6 aluminium axles have a 1mm shorter wheel hex which allows the use of different offset rims. Furthermore the shorter wheel axles give a different setting of the front and rear end geometry resulting in a longer arm while still being within the allowed 200mm maximum width. The -1mm CVD wheel axles are available in sets of two from now on.

JConcepts B6 Fin 0mm offset spring cups

JConcepts have introduced the Fin 0mm offset spring cups for the Team Associated B6-series off-road buggies. The cups are a 0mm off-set which is a popular setting on the rear of the Team Associated B6 and B6D. The aluminium material comes anodised in either blue or black and provides a healthy footing for the hot new spring of choice or the trusty stock AE spring set. The cups feature a unique shock shaft path which helps lock the spring cup in position during hard crashes or collisions. Finishing the parts off is an etched off-set identification and JConcepts.net logo.
