Velox V8 "eleven"

We are happy to reveal some information concerning the upcoming Velox V8 "eleven". The latest upgrade will contain some nice features the lift the Velox V8 on the next level. 

The most interesting part is the rear end. A complete new rear anti-roll bar mount will ensure the best performance possible. The anti-roll bar will be fixed directly at the rear bulkheads so no more tension can stress the ball bearings of the gear shaft. The position is much lower for an improved center of gravity. Ball-bearings eliminate possible play which results in a much directer response charateristic. Combined with the three different wires available the new rear anti-roll bar is one of the highlights of the Velox V8 2011. A new one-piece upper wishbone bracket gives additional stability and easy acces for maintance.

Also the radioplate and the radioplate mount are quite different. The new aluminium mount feauters a complete new flex system with a sliding bar fixed by ball bearings. The updated radioplate will be mounted on the sliding bar for optimized flex. To fix the radioplate and drive without flex only two screws are needed, so it's not necessary anymore to have two different radioplates ready. The single piece electronic tray features a laid down gasservo as well as the possibility to use a receiver box. Fixed by only three screws, all the electronics can be removed easily for maintance.

Pricing informations will be released at the toyfair, shipping is expected for March. Please note that some parts are still prototype parts.
