Shepherd Velox V10 -1mm short aluminium wheel axles

Coming from Shepherd and made for the Velox V10 are 1mm shorter wheel axles for the standard CVD driveshafts. Complementing the respective dogbone-specific parts introduced earlier this year the high-quality and hard-coated 7075-T6 aluminium axles have a 1mm shorter wheel hex which allows the use of different offset rims. Furthermore the shorter wheel axles give a different setting of the front and rear end geometry resulting in a longer arm while still being within the allowed 200mm maximum width. The -1mm CVD wheel axles are available in sets of two from now on.

Protoform 1971 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 bodyshell

Protoform 1971 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 bodyshell-1

Protoform have introduced the 1971 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 bodyshell for the VTA and other vintage touring car classes. One of the iconic cars of its generation, the Z28 tore up both the streets and Trans-Am series tracks with pure American V8 power. In true Super Chevy style, Protoform replicated the distinctive “split-bumper” configuration along with all the other signature Z28 design details for an exceptionally scale look. For the first time in PF’s VTA body lineup, the Z28 is formed from a single piece of genuine Lexan and requires no assembly. An all-new moulding process developed by the engineers at Protoform has allowed to capture realistic front and rear undercuts on the Z28 without the need for an add-on nose piece. The officially-licensed product meets all VTA Class rules and includes a detailed decal sheet, protective overspray film and window masks.
