Following extensive testing Shepherd have decided to produced a new low-friction middle belt according to their own specifications. It has an overall length of 435mm and suits the new pulleys included in the Velox V8 2010 perfectly. With the standard belt it was a little bit difficult to find the right tension when using the pulley ’09 set, but with this new belt that problem is eliminated.

CS Electronic have introduced their new MZ1 tire cleaner, which was specially developed for use on Mini-Z racers. Previously Mini-z tires would be cleaned with something like WD-40 which would degrease the tires unevenly which lead to degradation and poor performance and could even dissolve the glue holding it to the rim. The MZ1 tire cleaner takes away all of these problems giving an even cleaning leaving them optimally prepared for the next run.
