You will have to change the knuckles in order to get other CVDs to fit. The Velox V10 CVDs are very short so it does not leave many options to swap with another brand.

Yep! That is the one I used in the past. I now use the NIMH for weight. If you need NIMH battery for the shepherd I know a local guy in NJ that will build you packs.

Unfortunately I haven't found any of as good a quality as the hyperion that will fit the v10, however that being said I've run for an hour and 15 minutes on that pack 2 savox digital servos.

I'm rebuilding my site because my ISP is terrible so it will be a little before all the functionality returns. However you can check out the packs here:

http://www.skyrocketracing.com/galle..._display_media


They are graded to weed out weak cells, matched, then hand assembled with high silver solder and solid novak mini bars and 1000w of super powered solid core copper iron to heat quickly and not put that heat into the cell. The leads can be servo style or jst (red battery style).

I learned allot making nimh packs for micro racing haha figured I'd put it to good use in nitro =D.

Should be available on the web soon, and you can always just pm me and I'll get you setup.

I'm looking for a brass battery tray for Velox V8'11. Is the one listed on your site for sedan or 8th scale?
