I believe the 2 outside pulleys on the nt1 are 25-19 and the inside pulleys are 18-19. Has anyone switched to this car from xray? WHat are your thoughts and comparisons between the 2?
Really like the design of this car, but very little support in my area
Two of us switched from the 2014 NT1 to the V10, I am certainly faster in my V10.

The car is very reliable, and parts last a long time. Very fast, definitely a quiet achiever!

The pulleys cant be used on the Nt1. These pulleys do not use the pin system but have an aluminium block instead.

Default New velox to me.

I just bought a velox V10 from a buddy who bought it and ran it a few times but didn't love it. I made it to the Midwest Series Race in Portage IN. this past weekend to try the car out. This is my first nitro sedan and my return to racing from a two year retirement. I made very few changes to the chassis and worked on breaking in the new Rex motor from Murnan. I ended up qualifing third since I didn't get a clean run in on the rocket round Sunday morning but I was really happy with the car. In the main I got lucky and with the help from Jeff Zuccereall in the pits I was able to bring home the win with Ted Hammer in 2nd place. So it was a Shepherd 1 - 2 finish.

The chassis seems extremely easy to drive and I never had to put a part on the car the whole weekend. I'll give it two thumbs up so far. I'm really looking forward to trying it on our home track in Toledo this weekend.

I made it into the triple A main at the U.S. Nitro World Cup last weekend in the 12th spot. the car got better every time it hit the track and I was able to land in the 6th spot after all the dust settled.

Loving the car so far!

Awesome car! I've been running it for close to 18 months now with multiple club wins.
Quality is awesome never a stripped belt or gear. Having the brakes on the diff helps with the longevity of belts.

Car has plenty of traction works great in low grip and works great in high grip to with a couple of roll centre changes.

Read back in this thread I have provided heaps of info

Alot of new parts arriving next week, including the WC upgrade kits which include new chassis, new bulkheads, stiffeners, extension arms, etc...

Main feature is different positioning of the front diff (moved further back), servo position and ackerman, and rear stiffener options.

Also, a new thicker 3mm radio plate will be a new separate option.

You can see alot of the new WC upgrades on Simon Kurzbuch's car from the worlds last week:

Default Green body :D V10 pro 2018

Serwus!

Racing movie.
My car is green with black wing. 4th pole to start.


I can say, that V10 with 200k in rear, 1mln in front works in almost all conditions.

Bad luck, film ended before my win ...
