To satisfy the demands of serious racers, Team Shepherd have introduced aluminium lightweight wheel axles for the Velox V10. The rotating mass could be reduced by more than 60% which improves the acceleration significantly. Additionally the handling of the car improves as the un damped mass is reduced, too. The CNC-machined wheel axles are made of special aircraft aluminium which offers optimum strength and durability. A special hard coating prevents the axles from excessive wear and an extra hole for the CVD pin simply doubles the lifetime.

Developed to solve the problem of your rim deforming when the temperature gets too high, the C.Andy’s Carbon ring is a lightweight solution to keeping your wheels round. After some experiments with carbon fibre, which is a great material due to it’s stiffness and low weight, they developed these carbon rings which fit perfectly into the rim and weigh only a few grams plus the high durability makes it possible for them to be used many times. After success with the Carbon Ring in 1/12th and 1/10th scale they worked together with front running 1/5th scale racer Markus Feldmann, to develop the 1/5th carbon ring. This was difficult because the 1/5th scale cars have problems with the high temperatures due to the brake disks which are located in the rims. But it was successful and now you can get the carbon ring for 1/12th electric, 1/10th electric, 1/10th scale nitro, 1/8th on road as well as 1/5th touring.
New from Roche, for the TOP Photon, is this carbon fibre foam bumper top brace. Cut from high quality 2mm thick carbon fibre material it is stronger than the standard part and also looks pretty sweet. The set comes with the carbon bracket and 2 aluminium collars.
