I know there are a few similarities between this car and the Associated.

Can anyone confirm:
1. Will bodies from the AE fit the VBC?
2. Will the AE Shock mount/carbon piece fit on the VBC?

Does anyone know how to get ahold of VBC racing? Have a part problem I'd like to email them about.

Will the 12r5.2 lower arms work on the lighting?

I am 99% sure they are a direct replacement.

The 12r5 arms (both the original v1 and the v2) will work on the lightning. The only other part you will need are a set of the lower pivot balls for the r5 front end, as the Lightning ones are the same size as CRC/older AE and thus won't fit without binding.

Sorry, I should clarify that the v1 r5 lower arms will only work if you have some of the aftermarket lower arm inserts, such as those manufactured by CEFX. If you don't have those inserts, I would recommend using the v2 r5 arm.

If you want to PM me with the issue I will forward it along to Dave, although I am 99.9% sure I already know what you are encountering

Looks like your servo is a tad off center....I used a Spektrum H5020G from a heli I had laying around and was 1mm off of center in my v1.0 build.

What is the effect of having the servo off center a tad? Steering different left to right?

Yeah it was off a tad; just had to loosen up the servo mounting screws and push the servo over. Issue resolved...thanks

Has anyone installed a JR 3650 with the Ackerman spacers? The LF arm mount interferes. Removed a good 1/8" with a pencil grinder

I originally had a JR 3650 installed in my car, but removed it and replaced with a KO. If the servo hits the arm mount you can always just remove some of the ackermann shims at the servo mounts and then try to shim at the servo saver.
