Shepherd Velox V10 advanced weight system

Following the release of the advanced weight system for the Velox V8.2 Shepherd now also introduce a version for the Velox V10. A prototype has already showed its performance in the hands of Patrick Nähr who claimed his first ENS victory at the season final in Ettlingen. The set is a direct replacement for the regular or brass battery mount and is suitable for battery packs with a maximum footprint of 15x32x85. It includes a 7075-T6 aluminium tray, two 18g balancing weights, a composite battery-brace as well as all necessary mounting hardware. The 18g weights are equipped with additional countersunk holes making it possible to stack weights if needed. Without stacking a total of five weights can be installed. To install the battery pack two holes need to be drilled in existing radio plates while all future batches will feature the mounting holes out of the box. The set as well as all individual items will be available from next week on.

Bezerk RC Pro10 rear wheel shims

Coming from Bezerk RC are their new Pro10 wheel shims that allow to adjust the track width of Pro10 1/10th scale pan cars. The Pro10 class demands a lot on an axle that was first designed for a 12th scale car. When using axle spacers to achieve the desired rear track width the spur gear gets moved further away from the bulkhead/bearing and can thus cause premature failure of the spur gear. A concept inspired by Shannon Overson was to move the wheel out instead to keep the spur gear as close as possible to the bulkhead. This set includes a pair of 0.5mm and a pair of 1.0mm carbon shims that can be placed between the wheel hubs and the rim to fine-tune the rear track width without having to adjust axle width.

Fenix introduce new Mistral 2-0 & G56 optionals

Fenix Racing have introduced new option parts for the Mistral 2.0 and G56 pan car kits in the form of aluminium front upper arm mounts and a titanium uniball for the Mistral 2-0 shock mount. Starting with the upper arm mounts, these parts are machined from high-quality 7075 aluminium and they greatly reduce play and unwanted flex, resulting in a more precise feeling of the car on the track. Black coated for wear and looks the parts fit both the Mistral 2-0 and the G56 series of pan cars and they come in pairs including all necessary hardware. Also new is a titanium shock holder pivot ball for the Mistral 2-0 formula car. The uniball allows to remove the battery without undoing the central shock, which makes for more convenient battery swapping.
