Shepherd Velox V8 brass battery tray

6/30/2014 01:57:00 p. m. No comments

"Team Shepherd is happy to announce the new battery tray for the Velox V8 CNC-machined from heavy brass material. Weighing 46g it brings extra weight to the centre and also the lowest position of the car lowering the center of gravity and improving the overall handling of the V8 at all track conditions. A cutout on the bottom prevents fixing tape from being scrubbed to guarantee a save battery fixing."

Shepherd Velox V8 "EC" official release

6/26/2014 12:53:00 p. m. No comments

Shepherd saca al mercado la ultima evolucion del V8 recogiendo todas las mejoras que los pilotos oficiales han ido probando hasta conseguir ser Campeon de Europa en 2013, tanto en el Euro A como en el B. En mi opinión personal y reconociendo que algun problema tenia, por lo menos el modelo de 2012, el Velox es el coche mas rápido y agil que yo he probado. En esta ultima evolucion seguro se han corregido esas pequeñas anomalías. COCHAZO!!!

Although the latest Velox V8 kit is already avaiable for some time we are following up with the official release. The Velox V8 "EC" 1/8th scale nitro on-road kit is made to honour the European Championship titles of Jilles Groskamp (EC-A) and Daniel Sieber (EC-B) won with the Velox V8 Pro in 2013. Since the new version is available it continued to achieve great results by placing 2nd and 3rd at the Euros B and leading the point standings at the ENS Series. The main focus with the EC was to simplify maintenance and setup for an easier work on the car as well as some upgrades to improve the performance.

The completely redesigned front bumper is 5mm longer and has a new shape for a better seating of the body which is additionally supported by wider integrated body mounts. Several aerodynamic features improve the air flow resulting in more front steering.

The front and the rear end are equipped with new 2-piece bulkheads which allow an easy access to the front one-way shaft and rear solid axle respectively reducing the time for maintenance significantly.

Updated rear wishbones sport a pivotball for the anti-roll bar linkage making it easier to adjust the correct length of the linkage. The arms for the rear body mount feature a second mounting hole raising the body by 7,5mm which results in more overall downforce and a higher corner speed. Also new to the EC kit is a redesigned radio plate for optimizied flex and a an updated main chassis with additional fixing hole for chassis weights.

New features:

- 2-piece bulkheads front and rear for easy maintenance
- new aerodynamic front bumper with integrated body mount
- longer body mount arms for rear body mount
- updated rear wishbones for easy anti-roll bar adjustement
- updated chassis plate
- updated radio plate design

General features:

- Innovative 'Direct-V-Brake System'
- Well-proven 'Velox Revolutionary Shock System'
- 'Velox Competition Clutch' with extra strong spring
- Hard-coated aluminium pinions
- Wheel axles mounted from the outside for easy maintenance and set-up
- Blue anodised aluminium bulkheads and hinge pin brackets (7056 T6)
- Ball raced wire anti-roll bar front and rear
- Single piece electronic tray with laid down servos
- Velox-Easy-Flex ball raced sliding bar for optimized chassis flex

Joaquin Signes, gana en Almussafes 2014

6/16/2014 10:41:00 a. m. No comments

Joaquin Signes barre a sus rivales en Almussafes consiguiendo la triple corona, pole, vuelta rápida y carrera!!! Sin duda fue el piloto mas rápido en todo el fin de semana y tanto su equipo (Mugen-Nova-Nitrolux) como él funcionaron a la perfeccion. Nacho Lopez apretó de lo lindo y durante media final estuvo pegado al alerón de Signes aunque este ya le había recupera uno de los dos repostajes de “mas” que tenia que hacer en carrera debido al consumo del virtus de Signes. Un mal cambio de ruedas y una parada de motor de Lopez nos privaron de un final de infarto ya que Signes consiguió una vuelta de vantaja. Sergio Montesinos acabo en tercera posición lo que le aupa al primer puesto de la general provisional.

ENS 3ºround...Germany!

6/10/2014 10:04:00 a. m. No comments

La ENS 2014 llega a la tercera prueba este próximo fin de semana. Pilotos de la talla de Pietsch, Ielasi, Solaroli, Zamuner, Lorenzi, Bertin, Salven, D´Hont, Kurzbuch, R.V., Sieber, Lechner, Vogl, Pirani…dan mucha calidad a la prueba. Mientras tanto en España se disputa la 2º prueba del nacional en Almussafes, algo me dice que a partir de los próximos años los calendarios nacionales habrá que hacerlos teniendo en cuenta las carreras de la ENS que poco a poco estan consiguiendo una importancia muy relevante en la categoría.

Os mantedremos informados del desarrollo de las carreras!!!
