Hey all I have been looking for a new 1/8 car and was wondering how the Sheperd Velox is and how it compares to the big 3 (kyosho, Mugen, Serpent).

I have seen alot of chat about getting what the local hobby shop carries parts for but where I live in FL none of the local hobby shops cater to 1/8 on road so I would have to order all parts anyway.

Just looking for opinions whether or not to buy one.

The car works and is as durable as the rest of them..The importer XSPOWER is in Florida. Check out his site at http://www.teamxspower.com/

I too at one time comtemplated this decision. When I finally bought my Velox, the build, fit, and feel of the car was impressive. I have been running the car since September and it is very responsive to set-up changes. You won't be disappointed!

We will be having a new shop that is going to support the car soon. In FL. also you can order direct from us until it is up and running. Or we can send you to the dealers that do carry the car already your choice. You are right not many shops here carry any 1/8 scale car kits. On road if it is off road you are in!!!

Hey TDR, dont feel bad. Seems like anywhere you go nowadays hobby shops are thinning there inventory. I travel alot and find that most race tracks dont have hobby shops next to them. Dont let that make your decision up, this car will make you very happy. And you can find on-line shops that carry the Shepherd parts. You can always find Shepherd drivers too......I know they will help anyone.....Kurly

Guys let me just put it very short and sweet. Ive been in this industry a very long time. Ive run some very respectable cars and sponsors in my days. I can honestly say that I have found a very......happy home here with some very good people. IDM engines, you wont find a guy more determined than Danielle. Shepherd racing, Patrick is one of the best. Jerry, what can I say about a guy who is honest and cares about his guys and distributors. Thanks again guys and keep up the good work. Kurly

Thanks for the great feedback on the Velox makes it much easier to make a decision when others say good things. I hope to make a purchase in the next week or so let you know what I ended up with.

Congrats on your new car. If you need info help on it, you can go on to the MUGEN MRX4-X thread here: http://www.rctech.net/forum/nitro-ro...29-mrx-4x.html

Thanks I can't wait to get back into this.
I was at the Winter Nats (spectator) and the bug is even worse.
Thanks for the comp. on the body someone in your state painted it.
I believe they run a Shepherd at Crystal Park.
