Shepherd Velox V10 “WC” 3mm carbon radio plate

Shepherd Velox V10 "WC" 3mm carbon radio plate

Hot on the heels of Shepherd’s Velox V10 WC upgrade kit comes the new 3mm WC carbon fibre radio plate. The new optional upper chassis plate is made using an extra stiff 3mm carbon material to reduce the overall flex of the car, resulting in an even more precise handling especially under high-grip conditions. Furthermore it is more resistant against crashes. Sporting the same design as the “WC” radio plate with different positions for the servo saver and the steering servo it is necessary to use the new #408142 servo saver bushing and a 5x8x2,5mm ball bearing to mount the part.

Team EA Motorsports Energy Absorbent TC bumpers

Team EA Motorsports have introduced their Energy Absorbent touring car front bumpers. Offering a 6mm extended design the foam bumpers do away with the need to add material in order to better support the bodyshells and keeping them from dragging on the racing surface. In case a less forward position is desired, the specially designed foam is very easy to sand down to whatever distance is needed. The highly supportive are also very light, preserving excellent steering response compared to heavier parts. The bumper is currently available in three different configurations, solid, pre-cut with inserts, and cut-out, with the solid bumper giving the least amount of steering and the cut-out one being the most corner-hungry, and it was designed to fit the Xray T4 but it also is usable on Awesomatix, Team Associated TC7 and Gizmo cars with some minor trimming.
