Hey Everyone,

Well, I had my first day on the car and I'm very impressed. I've NEVER had a car that steers this much. I'm always one that usually wants a ton of steering, especially through the middle of the corner. This is the first car where I have to think, how to I mellow it out a little bit!!!

I'll be here to answer questions and keep everyone updated on my progress with the car.

-Korey

Quick question will any other manufacture's caster blocks and blades fit this car? Just worried that I could run out of spares on a race night and would like to be able to borrow some parts...

For a emergency you can use a xray t4 c-hub. It is not a direct fit! You'll need to do some sanding to make it fit. What track do you race at?

Pick up a couple of spares and problem solved. These parts are very affordable. I believe XRAY will fit with a bit of modification.

Btw, Atsushi Hara has recently received the VBC Racing Wildfire D06 for testing!

Wow talk about testing cars, this guy has almost tested everything in the book. I bet he's going to pick all the good points out of each car and make is own.

Haven't you also tested nearly every car in the book?

As far as what Hara is doing, you never know.

Isn't is awesome to see that even Hara uses the instructions manual?

We've been updating our site with inventory daily and have added CARS, Flex Chassis, Titanium Coated Shock Shafts, Arm Pins and Upright Pins + we have added a number of other optional and replacement parts including arms, springs, anti-roll bars, belts and much much more.

We have also updated our "Good Reads" section with some recent news.

The Wildfire D06 and all of the VBC cars in general have been nothing short of amazing and we look forward to seeing you all on the podium with your D06 and other VBC Racing cars.

Are there any other springs that fit the D06 shocks?

Yes, XRAY and other springs fit, but what's wrong with the VBC springs?

Absolutely nothing. I've been using the kit springs pretty successfully for modified.

I'll be doing a lot of testing this weekend and hope to post a solid carpet setup for high bite US style tracks. Dave and I already have a good start, but need to smooth it out a bit
