Today I lost the m4 screw and everything with it, the bearings, the spacer, the small conical shim... So as I've mounted D09 arms and hubs in the rear, I've done the same in the front... On asphalt, the c-hubs-based steering is way more efficient than the new one! ISo back to D9.5 for me!
also find the new plastic component very "sandy" compared to the red old one... |

What is the difference between VBC and Tamiya ones?

To use Tamiya rear hubs do you have to drill them out to fit the larger pins VBC uses?

Here is the last setup I used at the ATS race in Edmonton.

In the rear I had no choice, as my rear hubs were defective out-of-the-box (still no news from Tonisport by the way). It seems that some of the first batch were just badly mold and the arm's hole are not perpendicular to the bearings hole. So with that you gat asymmetrical toe-in, which is really a problem on the track (car is stoppen when turning left). So first I use the D09 arms with D09 rear hubs and D10 front knuckles. I ran twice or thrice and finally I lost the M4 screw and with it the bearing, the shims, etc.
So from there I had no other choice than re-install D09 c-Hubs and try. The car was indeed different in the front and absolutely less linear, and it feels better to me, especially in corners entry. It seems that it could be better on small carpet track but on our outdoor track I really prefer the feeling of the D09 :-) |
D10 set up sheet
1 Attachment(s)
Hi All
Find my set up sheet - for outdoor , a bit bumpy - medium to low grip . Works well , I used RC3 to get the base and tuned for the track . I am thinking of going SMJ blue (2.8) in front and Xray 2.6 rear . This to get away from the slight death ring. The current set up does away with a lot of camber gain and has super rear gent traction and lateral grip - maybe a wee too much |
Shock Bladders
Hi All ,
I find that the black badders allow the shock to sweat on the D10 . Any feedback ? I was told by some of the ex team drivers to use the xray black bladders or maybe the vbc blue bladders . Thanks |
First time out
Went out with my new d10 at the weekend and have to say it’s quick lots of steering ( think that’s down to the steering was same as when I run a mi5 ) after few changes had a good base setup and could push the faster boys at my track that day it’s easier to drive then d09 but had trouble with build with arms being to big so ended sanding the edges that face the ff and rr hinge pin blocks to get to drop freely ( I don’t mind fettleing to much plus it’s better then to much slop) also vbc forgot my alloy chassis but sent it next day with a free car stand worth $17 so can’t complain really happy with the car |

I had a contact with VBC yesterday, they are sending me replacement rear hubs.

I think it is things like this that are stopping vbc taking off in uk ,which Lucas told me in December that they have problems with the company they out source that makes and packages the kits for them . But as a company they are really good at trying to keep customers happy if there is a problem with quick response times compared to the X-ray 18 which is a good car but I know a few ppl find it had to find a base setup as the setup window is so small , where as the vbc for me from kit all I did was 450cst oil in shocks , 5000 cst oil I diff, screws out the bottom of the chassis and used 2mm chassis brace am going to try 500cst shock oil as I used 450cst in the old shock so to get the same sort of damper effect I need to change it up a grade or too |

What email address did you use to contact them for kit parts issues? is it just [email protected]? This is the only email address I can find on their website under "find dealers"
try [email protected] same as on invoice |
