Shepherd Euro 2008 Conversion Set

Seen in our coverage from last weeks European 1/8th scale Championships in Valencia, Shepherd have now officially released their Euro 2008 Conversion Set. Containing new parts for rear end of the Velox, the distance between the lower hinge pins is smaller to increase the effective length of the lower wishbones. With this modification the Velox becomes more stable on the rear end and therefore is easier to drive. To have the same angle for the shock absorbers two carbon fibre plates are included that can be fixed at the lower wishbones.
