Anyone done up an editable setup sheet yet? Would be really nice to have one instead of having to print these off for them to even be useful. Really wish I had the software to do it because there are several things that were left off the setup sheets as well.

Anyone looking for the new servo mount Roche.hk had them in stock (5 total) according to their website last night. I ordered mine. Site currently says out of stock though. Hopefully stock levels were current and I'll get mine soon. Only $21.60 after shipping.
Awesome thank you! That will make my life so much easier 
Great job on that by the way.
Have a look here: http://www.petitrc.com/_forumphp/sheet.php
If anything needed, drop me a mp.

I FINALLY got to run my car today. It sure has a lot of steering! My very first run with the car was for the first qualifier. I didn't get any practice which sucked. But I made a lot of progress. The first qualifier was just a matter of trying to keep it on the track because it had so much steering. Springs were too soft. Oil was too light. I missed the 2nd qualifier. Just too much going on with helping to run the races as well as try to work on my stuff. 3rd qualifier I actually did decent and was able to qualify 3rd overall. Ended up 3rd in the main. Got to within .5 seconds of the fast guys though.
I didn't have any issues with broken parts. And I tossed the car a few times.

I run .5-1* toe out per side in the front to keep mined from wondering. Also makes sure to shim the slop out of the steering rack but not so tight it binds. They give you the shims for this in the kit. If all that checks out it's either a bad servo or a bad servo saver like someone already mentioned.

Hi Guys,
I ran the Wildfire for the first time this weekend and was very impressed with the car. I found it carried a lot of corner speed and generally received many comments on how smooth the car looked on track.
I would highly recommend using the settings Dave posted earlier in the thread as a great starting point and then adapt them slightly to the track and track conditions.
In terms of reliability the car performed well, there were fellow racers who had a few issues breaking parts but none for VBC. I think its as reliable as any of the other mainstream chassis available.
I am very happy with the car, it is easy to work on and responds very well to setup change. I would like to get a second chassis to use in 13.5 boosted.

Who all is running the VBC 2 piece joint drive shafts up front? How are you liking them? I never had any chatter in my TC6 running 17.5 non-boosted so I was a little suprised to see how bad it was on the wildfire this last weekend.
What all is needed to run them? Just the axles, hubs and bearings correct? Can someone tell me the size of bearings needed?
