The Shepherd Velox V10 Nitro 1/10 200mm Chassis will be arrived soon @ rcMart.com
Shepherd Micro Racing are pleased to announce the release of the newVelox V10 1/10 scale 200mm chassis. Designed with the help of currentWorld Champion Daniele Ielasi, the car has already been proving itsperformance on tracks around the World, finishing runner up at thisyear's ROAR Nationals in the hands of Josh Cyrul and winning thecompetitive Asian Cup in Bangkok driven by Jilles Groskamp. Seen forthe first time as a one-off prototype at the 2009 International ToyFair in Nuremberg, the chassis has undergone a lot of fine tuning inpreparation for its public release.
Shepherd Micro Racing's Velox V10 is packed with loads of innovativefeatures, most seen for the first time on a 1/10 nitro on-road car.First and foremost the chassis is equipped with Shepherd's innovative'Direct-V-Brake System' (DVB System) that sees the brake discs sitdirectly on the rear differential allowing for a more precise feelwithout the fear of brake fade during a run. Different from currentdesigns that sport a single brake disc on the middle layshaft, theV10's DVB System sits directly on the rear bulkhead close to thechassis' centre line for optimised weight distribution.
The V10 is designed with ease of adjustment and maintenance in mind.This is reflected in the use of Shepherd's revolutionary Quick RollCentre adjustment system that was first seen on the company's Velox 1/8scale on-road chassis. The upper pivot pins sit in special upper A-armmounts that locate the pivot pins with vertically mounted grub screws,allowing for easy set-up adjustments without the need to use additionalparts or inserts. The same ease of adjustment applies to the centralservo saver which is adjustable, both in position within the chassis aswell as in length of reach, by only a single screw.
Just like the 1/8 scale Velox the smaller scale V10 comes with the'Velox Revolutionary Shock System' (VRS System), which are speciallydesigned hard coated aluminium shock absorbers with treated shockbodies and a neat volume compensating system that sports a springloaded expansion chamber in place of the usual rubber diaphragm or foamcompensator. The idea is to get a damper that can easily absorb smallbumps, keeping the tyres on the track even in difficult trackconditions for added corner speed.
Another feature borrowed from its bigger brother is the 'VeloxCompetition Clutch' which has been adapted from the 1/8 scale chassis,but with an extra strong spring specifically for the V10. Right besidethe clutch assembly is where the improved lightweight two speed gearboxis located whose intelligent design does away with the need to readjustthe engine position after a gear change. Adjusting the belt tension onthe V10 is as easy as 1-2, as the inserts that hold the lightweightfront and rear axles are held in place with a minimum of parts ensuringthe quickest possible way to change the setting of the drive trainwithout the need to disassemble parts of the bulkheads.
Shepherd uses only the highest quality materials throughout the chassislike 7075 T6 aluminium for the chassis, blue anodized aluminium forbulkheads and hinge pin brackets, premium carbon fibre for the radioplate and shock towers as well as high quality plastic for thewishbones, steering blocks and uprights. The design allows for maximumdurability while maintaining a low weight and a perfect front to rearbalance. Of course Shepherd's Velox V10 is fully adjustable in terms offront and rear roll centres, wheelbase, track width, caster and camber,down stops and steering geometry to make it the best handling 1/10scale 200mm nitro on-road car available today.
