Has anyone used the car at a major event yet? How is it stacking up in major competition?

Not only did it win the Nats with Dave Johnson but it dominated qualifing with Andrew Knapp at the helm. The car looks really good. I have yet to hear of it in Mod or 13.5 though. I know that the IIC should change that.

hey guys,

is there a toe combo chart which can show the toe angles with the combinations of toe blocks? Am confused with the E/F etc and can't seem to find reference on the VBC website.

TIA!

E20 = 2.0 degrees
E25 = 2.5 degrees
E30 = 3.0 degrees
F00 = 0 degrees
F05 = 0.5 degrees
F10 = 1.0 degrees

E and F just tell you if its front or back I believe. They don't have any different split blocks as far as I know or have seen.

Because there is not an "I" in team, but there is an "E" in rear.

Just placed an order for a wildfire. Where is everyone ordering parts from? The only place I've seen so far is the crc website.

CRC will ship the fastest.
but I do believe you can order from Horizonhobbies.com but they are waiting on stock to come in...the car is becoming quite popular.
Horizon is a main distributor for LHS (most of them in the US). So if your hobby shop orders thru Horizon/fastserve they can order all CRC product.
but again...CRC is a great point of order...plus you can always ask question on ETAs...etc.

Stormerhobbies...just picked up the car so they will also be selling parts once they stock up.
