Yes, we know we are talking about the Shepherd Velox 1/8th scale Gas powered RC Car that everyone knows about, long time ago since 2007. Yes, it is the same one where it won its first championship and that was The 2007 German National Championships and almost captured the 2008 European Championships at the hand of Daniel Lelasi.
However, we here at the far east only know this brand recently and since we do not have any info published here, we might as well start from the scratch. Okay, cut the words. Here the pictures and some specs. All thanks to its own website at Team-Sherpherd.com.

Just got this news Live from partner redrc.net that Jernej Vuga is the new 1/8th Euro 2008 Champion.

Driving his Mugen car to victory thanks to Daniel Lelasi on the Sherperd Velox, *radio* problem at the last lap. While Balestri from Motonica just ran out of fuel on the final dash. So so unlucky. The TQ man, Max Fantini retired at the 40th minute while the rest just not there till the end.
Top 3 final result,
- Jernej Vuga - Mugen
- Walter Salemi - Mugen
- Andrea Christiani - Serpent
