The Punisher body by JConcepts for the TLR 22 is the meanest, nastiest thing out for 1/10th buggy racing. The slight cab-forward treatment is amongst the most aggressive in class giving the Punisher top notch performance.

Shepherd V8 Velox yellow clutch shoe

Shepherd have introduced their new performance enhancing yellow clutch shoe for the V8 Velox Competion Clutch. This new clutch shoe was succesfully used by our factory teamdrivers at the World Championship 1/8th scale where Shepherd had the second most cars in the top 20 after qualifying with Daniele Ielasi and Michele Romagnoli even ranked in the top 10. The shoe is CNC-machined from a special high grip material that is a little bit harder than the optional white clutch shoe material. Due to the high friction surface it slips less providing maximum acceleration also on high grip tracks when setting the enganging point to high RPMs.
