Hi Guys,

I was wondering if anyone has experimented with some kick up on the front suspension (by adding an additional shim under the front suspension carrier)?

Thanks.

Has anyone tried taymia 417 rear toe in blocks on this car? Wondering if they fit without modifying anything.

Hi Guys,

Taking out the Wildfire on soon for its maiden voyage. I will be using a Tekin Gen2 17.5 boosted.
Do you have recommendations on rollout or FDR please?

Thanks in advance.

Depends on track size. Try starting with a 4.0 first and go from there.

Congrats...Dave
VBC has a hell of a US team.

the Halloween Race was filled with VBC talent. A, B, etc mains...

congrats to Goetter for his efforts. he rocked out super tight pants (see thru) with his VBC shirt.

The car has the right stuff.

Try around 6.5 FDR to start.

4.0 is a starting point for blinky. It's far too low for boosted.

Re: results from the Halloween Classic.
Nice job guys. Great driving Dave! I watched the races from Dirla's ustream. Sounded like everyone was having a good time.
