Shepherd Velox V10 competition clutch

Shepherd announce the release of the high performance competition clutch set for the Velox V10. Included in the set are the optional aluminium clutch bell, an updated flywheel and the optional yellow clutch shoe. The combination of these parts is meant improve the acceleration significantly due to a 35 percent weight saving compared to the standard clutch with the old-design flywheel. The yellow clutch shoe also is machined from a special high grip material that is a bit harder than the standard black material. Due to the high friction surface the whole clutch assembly produces less slip for increased acceleration, especially when running on high-grip surfaces or with high RPM engaging points.

Awesomatix A700 gear diff V2

Seen for the first time in public at the recent ETS season opening race in the Czech Republic Awesomatix now have the V2 gear differential for the A700 touring car available. The updated version offers ultra smooth running and a newly designed floating inner O-ring system to compensate the fluid’s volume expansion once the oil starts to heat-up during a race. This makes the diff more consistent throughout the run and also generates a more consistent and predictable car with increased rear traction. New filling and bleeding holes within both outdrives allow for easy building, setup and maintenance, leaving a “bubble-free” differential. The set comes without internal gears, cross pins or washers but according to Awesomatix the latest Xray T4 items will do the job just fine.

RDRP Ultra 1/10 shock O-ring set

New from Revolution Design Racing Products comes the Ultra 1/10th shock O-ring set. The seals are made from a specially formulated compound that is much less prone to “swell” under the influence of silicone shock oil meaning a better seat of the seals within the damper cartridges over a longer period of time. The O-rings also have a lower break away point compared to standard “orange” seals for a more sensitive damper action. The O-rings come in a 16-piece set, enough to equip 8 shocks, and they fit nearly all of today’s 1/10th on-road and off-road shock absorbers.
