VBC Racing WildfireD08 chassis flex options

VBC Racing have introduced two new option parts to adjust the chassis flex of the WildfireD08 touring car. First up is the Motor Mount Mod Flex set that provides less chassis flex than the stock setup. It utilises a 2-piece alloy post that is equipped with a rubber O-ring to create a medium flex setting as it connects the top deck with the motor mount but the floating connection makes for less flex than a rigid 1-piece post. The second new part and making for the stiffest chassis flex setting is the 1-piece Motor Mount Post set. It directly connects the top deck with the motor mount to stiffen up the mid section of the chassis. The posts are cut from high-quality aluminium, they come red anodised and include the needed mounting hardware.
