…as high end touring cars allowing controlled flex laterally to improve overall side bite and corner speeds. The top plate is mated to an alloy front section that connects directly to the front bulkhead without any chassis posts to generate traction and to help eliminate tweak inherent in chassis post designs. An alloy front top plate section securely mounts the front pulley set for proper belt function while a new steering assembly design is not attached to the top plate just like in high end tourers to help generate front traction and to eliminate top plate tweak.

Shepherd have announced the release of the Velox V8 2010. The makor change is that the 2009 pulley set will replace the standard pulleys in the kit. Due to the improved teeth design the pulleys reduced the drag significantly, while small holes in the washers release the dirt and keep the pulleys clean for a long time. The small 16T pulley was replaced by an 18T pulley and the 24T pulley on the one-way axle was replaced by a 27T pulley. This results in less friction and a much longer lifetime for the new front belt. The new lightweight design…
