New VBC Racing Firebolt & Wildfire option parts

VBC Racing have new option parts for the Firebolt 2WD buggy and the Wildfire D07 touring car available.

Cut from 7075 material and coming red anodised and with extensive machining the part is 4.5g lighter than the stock unit, weighing it at only 16g, and it makes for improved motor cooling and looks without sacrificing stability.
