The performance of the components was demonstrated by Shepherd team rider Thilo Tödtmann at the first open European championships in the Netherlands and won the title.

Based on the Team Shepherd Velox E8 platform, the latest model was developed to meet the demand for a low-cost and high-performance electric drive. Furthermore, the new Team Shepherd Velox E8 '4S' also complies with the regulations of the newly created EFRA 1:8 electric on-road class.

Team Shepherd has updated radio-plate now carries two shorty-LiPo’s as well as the speedcontroler. The batteries are centered in the middle of the vehicle allowing an optimal balance. By positioning them as far backward as possible the traction was improved significantly, which is required when using high-torque electric motors.

The speedcontroler is mounted directly on the chassis. Nevertheless it is easily accessible and supplied with fresh air to prevent it from overheating.
The redesigned motor mount accommodates a variety of different 1/8 electric motors and a built-in carbon fiber fan mount allows the installation of a large 40mm fan. 

As a result a moderate operating temperature of the electric motor is ensured without having to cut ventilation holes into the body.
The symmetrical chassis plate is characterized by ventilation openings and supports the cooling of the electronic components.
