Shepherd Velox V8 aluminium downstop limiters

Shepherd have introduced their new aluminium downstop limiters for the Velox V8 WC and Simon Kurzbuch Edition 1/8th scale kits. Made from high-grade 7075-T6 alloy the parts allow a more accurate droop setting because of the more rigid material. Thanks to a redesign the downstops also use less parts which results in improved durability and a more direct feedback. The limiters are available in blue or black anodising.

Capricorn C803 +1mm rear shock bodies & shafts

Coming from Capricorn and made for the C803 on-road car are the +1mm shock bodies and shock shafts. Adding a millimetre of length to both the bodies and shafts will allow the shock piston to sit at an optimised position within the shock body which results in improved forward traction and bump handling. The bodies come anodised black for wear and looks while the shock shafts received a TiNi coating for improved wear and reduced friction.
