Team Shepherd low-friction belts

Team Shepherd has extended their product range with the launch of two new low-friction rubber belts for the front and the rear axles of its successful Velox 1:8 onroad car. The new belts are much softer and more flexible than the standard versions and allow the drive train to run more freely. This ensures that the engine power is efficiently transfered into speed. Although the softer belts wear faster, the extra power and decreased fuel consumption offers racers that little extra advantage.

Associated RC8 83mm Wheels

Team Associated have release a new 83mm wheel for their RC8 which makes them the largest ROAR-legal wheels available. 1.5 mm wider than the standard wheel this extra width and larger diameter gives a stiffer sidewall which is more stable for greater corner speed. The larger diameter is also better in bumps than the standard wheel. Weighing just 33 grams per wheel they are the lightest production RC8 wheels on the market. The wheel is compatible with all 1:8 buggies and is available in white or yellow.

Xray T2 ECS Drive Shafts

XRAY has just presented its new ECS drive shafts, designed with high-level racing in mind. The ECS drive shafts were developed to decrease front wheel vibration when racing with a solid front axle, thus providing a much smoother and quieter ride and increasing steering. The ECS drive shaft equalizes the speed between the drive shaft and the wheel. With a unique 2-piece joint between the axle and the wheel, the same extreme wheel turning angle is divided into two shallower angles without joint binding. This means that at the same cornering speed, the inner wheel will not bind or vibrate. Drive through the corner is more stable, more precise and easier to drive. With the new ECS drive shafts, wheel vibrations and noise are decreased to minimum, steering is increased and cornering speed and smoothness increases noticeable. The ECS drive shaft comes factory pre-assembled for quality checking, but it is not immediately ready to use.
