VELOX 1/8TH ON-ROAD KIT

Having already proven successful on both the European and International racing scene, the Velox is finally on sale in the UK.
Packed with innovative and high performance features, the most noticeable of which is the all-new Velox 'Direct-V-Brake System' (DVB-System), a system that provides durable and powerful braking through the use of rear axle mounted brake disks and a cable activated braking system. Upon applying the brake on your transmitter, the cable pulls two rear levers which clamp the brake pads against the twin, long life, ventilated disks providing strong and consistent braking performance every time. At the front of the Velox is the car's steering servo saver that sports a quick one-step easily adjustable Ackerman setting. Using one screw, the user can loosen, easily adjust the setting and re-tighten the front part of the servo saver, enabling quick Ackerman adjustments even while trackside.
Helping to keep the car stable through the corners is the 'Velox Revolutionary Shock System' (VRS-System), newly designed hard coated aluminium shock absorbers that sport a spring loaded expansion chamber in place of a rubber diaphragm, a system that helps absorb small bumps while keeping the cars wheels on the track. Transferring power from the engine to the wheels, the car utilizes the newly developed Velox Competition Clutch (VCC), this provides plenty of punch while maintaining a consistent setting. The clutch powers the cars improved lightweight 2-speed gearbox, designed to not only perform well but aids to the cars ease of maintenance by removing the need for the re-alignment of the engine following spur gear changes. The use of top quality materials throughout the Velox gives a hint to this cars racing pedigree, with carbon fibre used on the radio plate and shock towers as well as high quality plastics used for the wishbones, steering blocks and uprights. Its the use of aluminium in the Velox however that sets this car apart, from the beautifully CNC machined 5mm thick chassis plate to the blue anodised wishbone pivot blocks and bulkheads, providing strength without increasing the cars un-sprung weight.
Adjustment comes in the form of easy to change front and rear roll centres, the ability to adjust the wheelbase of the car, adjustable belt tension on both the front and rear axles, as well as the usual range of settings that can be applied on today's competition chassis', such as camber, caster, down stops, track width and more.
