I mean the first one, no euro conversion or 2010 kit, just the original kit.I think it's the 2008 kit.

In any case I would go for the 2009 upgrade set with a new pulley-set. The only tip I can give is to use the 2-speed brace.

Hi Guys,
Ran a Test day yester day the track is similar to cordoba in that , it's a fairly easy layout,but Hard to go Fast, The chassis was good using the Volta Setup as a Baseline, I think I can Spring Up, to make it a little more direct, I was running the Blitz 06, and i saw the Fast guys were running the Blitz 09 body,so i am mounting one to try.
I am battling a little with the motor Clutch Setup, but am going later this afternoon to try and work on it a little more, and see whether i can get Some fighting fit Stallions to pull my Wagon.
Any clutch setup tips would be greatly appreciated.
Also i think I am Geared a little long in 1st running 16/50 . Does anyone Know if shepherd Make a 15 T pinion? At 5,500 ft here the motors strain out of the corners.
Thanks
Karl

Hey guys, been running the velox for a short time and noticed the bearings are sitting loose in the front and rear hubs??? Think its original plastic and not sure if there is a update?

Setup Velox
Hello,
I need some help on the steup of the front. So far the front of the car is slow to react.
As a starting point i used Richard Volta from the shepherd web site
The only difference is the position of the front wishbone position that I set at low position.
To make it a bit more reactiv I move from 4mm to 6mm front upper arm position and rise the anti roll bar.
These changes make the car turn a bit better but not as much as I would like.
I would like the front to turn more like a 1/10 elec DTM on carpet could do.
I was thinking about reducing the track width.
Any idea to improve the setup of my velox?

Hi Pooh, did you switch from Mugen to shepherd? What are the choice bodies to run, I have a central but the car does not seem to like it, thinking Blitz 09 or P909?
