JConcepts Illuzion Hi-Flow SCT body

JConcepts have released the Illuzion Hi-Flow SCT body. Sporting a fashionable racing look, the body panel attack angles and even greater air escape packages give the Hi-Flow class leading performance. The air escape package consists of user friendly trim-out areas which have been strategically placed to ensure a clean race-able look that minimizes the trouble-some parachute effect. The large Hi-Flow areas are depressed into the body which allows the user to simply score the bottom pocket and pop-out for instant results. The hood-scoop, used predominantly as an under / over air release feature, blends beautifully into the sculpted extra-clearance fenders while releasing the front end of inner pressure. The top, rear, fender corners have been wedged reducing dead space, allowing more pass-through area minimizing unwanted air collection. The roof of the body has been dramatically ‘rock-a-bye’ shaped to promote a continuous roll in the event of roof crashes while performance enhanced number and name plates provide straight-line stability.

Shepherd V8 low friction kevlar pulleys

Shepherd are happy to introduce their new low friction kevlar pulleys for the Velox V8. After extensive testing a material was found that fullfills their high expectations regarding quality and durability. Oliver Mack drove more than 150 kilometers with one set of kevlar pulleys at the Euros A in Luxembourg when he ended up in 5th position after bumping up three times and the pulleys still looked great. These low friction pulleys provide a better and smoother rotation of the drivetrain to improve the acceleration of the V8 and are available for all pulleys, except for the rear solid axle, as a complete set or separately.
