VBC Wildfire D06 touring car kit

Not long ago VBC Racing released teaser shots of the Wildfire D06 touring car prototype and now the company officially introduce the new kit. The car is based on the current Wildfire chassis that received a huge overhaul and comes with an all-new motor mount design moving the motor to the centre line and in a more forward position for increased corner speed and agility. Also new is the chassis assembly that allows for a more linear flex characteristic with improved weight balance. And not only the chassis and drivetrain received a make-over, the wishbones are of a new stronger design and the kit comes with low-profile shock towers and “true big bore” shock absorbers that are shorter but larger in diameter retaining the large volume of the original shocks with the benefits of a lower centre of gravity. Included in the kit that is meant to hit stores at the end of August are also a new design “floating” servo mount and a genuine Panaracer spur gear.
