Greetings from Singapore!!
Just had my maiden run with the Wildfire and my lap timings were already faster than with my previous car. Settings were box stock except for the shock oil and springs which were brought over.
What impressed me was the amount of steering the car had and the corner speed it carries. I am running on outdoor medium grip asphalt and the car really handles well, very nimble and stable.
I am still using the stock arms, but would like to try the Med arms as I think the stock arms are too hard, making it brittle. I believe Tamiya's 417 arms fit too.

What kind of performance changes have you noticed over the standard setup?
Are you running on carpet or asphalt?
Thanks.

Yes it kind of stinks they don't have pictures next to each description. Searching for parts would be a lot quicker with all the pics.

Just want to give praise to this car. I ran onroad for the first time today and I won my first heat with the vbc wildfire. I was on track to win the main with a good lead after the first few laps when I got tangled up in a crash that ejected my esc. I just built the car yesterday so I think I should have preped the surface a bit better and I would have won with relative ease. This car has such great corner speed it was really easy to put down good laps. I used Mr. Johnsons setup as a starting point with slightly different shock oil setuo and it was sooo easy to drive (thank you!).
I'm officially hooked on racing onroad now. I was starting to get a little bored with offroad and this was just what I needed. Now if our local club could only meet a few times a month rather than just once, I will be stoked
So happy I bought a vbc wildfire. If anyone is thinking about it, do it!!
