STRC Axial Wraith aluminium options

STRC Axial Wraith aluminium options

STRC have produced suspension links for the Axial Wraith out of heavy duty CNC machined aluminium. Instead of going with the cheaper looking aluminium tube design, these lower and upper suspension links feature the same lightweight design as the stock plastic pieces with weight saving holes drilled out in the suspension links while preserving the same thickness as the stock plastic pieces that makes these links near indestructible. The stock plastic steering linkage on the Axial Wraith is also a weak point on this vehicle, as the stock pieces tend to be sloppy and weak in transferring the torque and power coming from the steering servo. These CNC Machined Aluminium Steering link features 7mm thick aluminium tubes for lower and upper steering links. The upper link features a slight bend that allows for all the power and torque from the servo to be transferred in a perpendicular angle to the arm of the knuckle to ensure no power is loss in the transfer. Suspension links and steering links available in Gun Metal, Black, Green and Silver.

Shepherd V8 low friction kevlar pulleys

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.
