Shepherd Velox V8 Pro conversion kit

Team Shepherd announce the release of the European Championship winning Velox V8 Pro conversion set. The kit contains all parts needed to upgrade the Velox V8 to the latest specifications as it was used by Jilles Groskamp and Daniel Sieber to win the Euros A and B. The new lower front arms are equipped with small uniballs for a stepless adjustment of the front anti-roll bar linkage while the CNC-machined aluminium bulkheads made of 7075-T6 aluminium sport a support for the ballraced wire-type anti-roll bar as well as plastic bushing for the one-way ball bearings. In addition the updated middle bearing block and the gear shaft bearing blocks are also equipped with plastic inserts for less vibrations and a smoother running of the ball bearings. The new hollow 8mm gearbox shaft reduces the rotating mass for improved acceleration and it features a much smaller 2-speed adapter and new aluminium adapters for the plastic pulleys. The set as well as the Velox V8 Pro kit are available now.

Avid 8th off-road wing buttons

New from Avid come aluminium wing buttons for 1/8th off-road buggies and trucks. They are CNC-machined from high quality aluminium and come with black or hard-anodised olive finish and are designed to make for secure and aerodynamic wing fitment. The serrated bottom prevents the button from twisting wing wraps causing the lamination to separate from the decal layer. The serrated teeth also grip the wing firmly so over-sized wing holes are less of an issue. The buttons come with 12mm button head screws and a mini decal sheet.

They offer multiple shock and camber link mounting positions and come with a hard anodised finish. Available are front and rear items laser-etched with RB’s distinctive logo. Next up are CNC-machined steering spindle carriers. Available as separate items and with 12° or 14° built-in castor they are made from 7075-T6 aluminium and sport a gun metal finish. They not only offer added rigidity over the stock parts but also help to fine-tune the steering characteristic. The carriers come including new spindle collars that are also available separately. Staying in the steering department, RB have CNC-machined 7075 alloy steering spindles available. Coming as standard 0° or optional 5° castor variant the parts look cool and add stability to the front end of the RB buggy while the different castor angles allow subtle set-up changes. Like the spindle carriers the steering spindles are available as separate left and right hand item. Last but not least comes a carbon fibre heat shield that is attached to the rear chassis brace. The part protects the radio box and throttle servo from excessive heat coming from the engine, it looks cool and has enough space to become decorated with your sponsor or name decals.
