Latest updates...prototyping an adapter to use Roche lower arms. Using 3D for now but will create solid parts in the end.

A-03-VBC-1033 is for the composite part. I looked on VBC's site and it's not on there, anywhere. It must be a kit specific part.. ?? Weird. Maybe Alex will know if it's available, hopefully he'll chime in.

Thanks for the reply guys... Looks like it is sold out everywhere, must be a popular part!

Finally had a chance to run the FX18 I picked up from Tim Neja a while back, and it performed well. Ran on medium grip CRC carpet and the car was very stable and easy to drive. Made a couple of small changes and the car was just so easy to drive and very predictable. Had a ton of fun with and it actually performed better than my Roche EVO USA spec that I ran the time before. Looking forward to running it again.

I can't more people aren't racing this chassis. For the price it's a bargain. I ordered another one to build up as a backup - if there wasn't so many Roche Evo's for sale on here already I would probably put mine up for sale. . .

I ran the fx18. I never ran it on asphalt but I think it would suit asphalt well. In my opinion there were to many upgrades and custom mods you had to do to make the car reliable.
also I still believe that on carpet the fxm was a faster car.
I was disappointed that vbc halted development seemingly on everything. On to newer things. Infinity if11 is a beast

Default Front upper arms and ball cups

What's the correct part number for the front upper arms and ball cups that has no problems? There seems to be a few different ones on the VBC site.

I just build a kit. The arms and ball cups that came in the kit has the holes slightly too big and the turn buckles are not cutting any threads into them.

It felt fine when I first build it. But first time out on track the camber keep changing on its own. When I took it apart I noticed there's almost no threads cut into the plastic.
