We don't have much listed on the web store... But if you contact the store directly we have a whole pile of stuff on the wall, and can get anything you need of we don't have it in stock.

OK. I also just found out a local store also carries some vbc stuff (I work at a hobby store so I'm not in the loop what small brands the competitors carry) but I should be good for a while. I'll be looking in to finding a complete parts list to see what I'm missing from building a complete new second roller, I got what appears to be another kit it a big parts tray and might have 90% of a complete second car (I've got most of the major stuff for sure, plus additional spares)

I have it. It comes with everything you need. But you have to do some mods to the car. You have to drill through the battery holder and use a long screw to tighten it down. It also may require some shining to get the height right. I actually cut one side down to match the terminal side height.

No prob. I would also recommend doing the sway bar mod. Either by buy-in the D07 parts or ng ARC parts and cut to down the bars 10mm on each side. You will be amazed at how much teak is in the bars. Doing this mod tremendously improved turning consistancy.

Want to convert my D06 into a VTA/Scale Spec car. Anyone have any setup recommendations on a outdoor track?

I will be selling two lightly used D06's with 4 chassis (two 2.5 carbon, 2.25 carbon, aluminum) and plenty of spare/tuning parts. Will be letting it all go together for less than 50 cents on the dollar.

I'll do my best to get it posted with photos in the for sale section, but if anyone is seriously interested... please PM me.

I usually run outdoor racing and I'm looking for a starting point with VTA too.

What are the main changes needed? More roll for more grip?
Any setups will be greatly appreciated.

I have found its bet to start with 17.5 setups to start. You just have to adjust the droop some to compensate for the taller tires.
