Who knows?

Honestly, there isn't much support running VBC. Their "Team drivers" don't answer questions, the US distributor does no marketing + their Web site functionality is from 1997; [email protected] doesn't respond to e-mails and this thread is practically a ghost town. It's as if you are on your own when you run VBC. They have a good product, but I feel that there are other matters that should be addressed prior to releasing a second touring car revision within a span of 13 months.

I also love the whole, hey, we have a new car coming next month, but we don't have even a teaser photo or CAD drawing. It sort of reminds me of how they released the Dynamics edition without any actual photos of the Wildfire Dynamics.

Love the car, but if it weren't for having a friend that runs one also I'd be way out on a limb

+1000. I feel the same exact way. It is an awesome car and works well, but no support from team members and no marketing. In my area when I say I run a VBC people look at me like who the heck makes that car.

Hi Olivier,

So there are two things as far as I can tell.
1. Please can we have improved support from VBC, as you can see there are many unhappy customers in the forum.
2. Because point one is so bad, can you give any information regarding the new chassis. Will there be an upgrade kit.

Thanks, much appreciated.

Pt2. This will be a new chassis, new bulkheads and motor mount. There is no plan on upgrade kit
