Good to see VBC release something. . . I was worried that they may be going away. I really like the FX-18, as I race on a low-med grip CRC rug and it is perfect for that type of grip. For the high stuff I have my F6 and Roche aluminum setups, but on this particular track the FX-18 is superior to either of those (albeit the way they are setup...). Just glad VBC is still in business as I loved the 12M and would really be pumped for an updated 1/12 scale!!
