Shepherd Velox V10 Pro hard compound wishbones

New from Shepherd and made for the Velox V10 Pro are hard compound lower A-arms. Due to a higher percentage of glass fibres mixed into the raw material the arms are noticeably stiffer than the stock parts, making them ideal when running in high ambient temperatures or on high traction tracks. The arms are a direct replacement and available now.

Team C TC10 long shock conversion kit

Team C have released first images of a long shock absorber conversion kit for the TC10 electric touring car. So far no information about the specifications are available but by the looks of things the kit will include longer threaded aluminium shock bodies and updated carbon fibre shock towers to accommodate the now-longer dampers. While ultra short low-profile shocks where tried by a number of companies in the past, some of them now move back to “conventional” length units as they offer better traction and easier setup in certain track conditions. We bring you more information on the conversion kit as soon as they surface.

Muchmore Flex O-Rings for 1/10th shock absorbers

New from Muchmore come 1/10th shock absorber O-rings in three hardnesses. Developed with the help of 3-times World Champion Marc Rheinard the O-rings are available in 40 shore, 50 shore and 60 shore hardness that help to fine-tune the shocks to various track conditions. The harder 50 and 60 shore rings are ideal for carpet tracks while the softer 40 shore rings are best used in low-grip and low temperature conditions. A special silicone material makes the rings much less prone to swelling under the influence of silicone shock oil, they come in sets of 8 rings and are usable for many 1/10th on-road and off-road kits.
