Shepherd Micro Racing Velox

Shepherd Micro Racing have announced that they have finally released the Velox, 1/8th scale nitro on road chassis. Packed with innovative and high performance features, the most noticeable of which is the all-new Velox ‘Direct-V-Brake System’ (DVB-System), a system that provides durable and powerful braking through the use of rear axle mounted brake disks and a cable activated braking system. Upon applying the brake on your transmitter, the cable pulls two rear levers that clamp the brake pads against the twin, long life, ventilated disks providing strong and consistent braking performance every time. At the front of the Velox is the car’s steering servo saver that sports a quick one-step easily adjustable Ackerman setting. Using one screw, the user can loosen, easily adjust the setting and re-tighten the front part of the servo saver, enabling quick Ackerman adjustments even while on the track.
