Shepherd Velox V8 EC 2015 1/8th nitro on-road kit-1

Team Shepherd introduce the Velox V8 “EC” 2015 1/8th nitro on-road kit. The car comes packed with a bunch of few small but fine detail changes that have been successfully tested by factory driver Simon Kurzbuch at the ENS finale in Fiorano where he was able to take the overall win. First up is the new rear shock tower that gives additional room to adjust the position of the centring pin of the rear body mount while the front body posts are now hard-coated to increase the durability. The steering linkage received new smaller pivot balls and ball joints that have less play and wear compared to the previous version while the complete car is now equipped with long-lasting steel pivot balls. The aluminium ones are still available as option parts for racers concentrating on weight savings.
