I'm not sure if the hard bumper will fit the FF17, but it would be something I'd check into as well.
Parma makes a Hard foam bumper that you can cut to whatever size you want. I highly recommend this product for ANY touring car. You can easily make it fit right to the nose of your body shell and just as wide. Save parts and looks amazing.

Is that for a specific class or just that motor? The car performs well in TC 17.5 class.

Default D07

I know this is a tread for the D09 . I have a question for the D07 and since most on this tread have been with VBC for awhile is the reason for asking about the D07. I run 21.5 class usgt and I was wondering what chassis should I use. I have the car setup with the v2 aluminum chassis with Ryan Maker default setup. Just need a opinion of what chassis would be suited for this class? Thanks for any input.

I had an issue and when trying to email [email protected] kept getting message kicked back.
I contacted through FB and was refereed to use [email protected]

Had a message back next day and replacement parts sent a day later with tracking number. I'd say give that a try.

Are you running it on black/grey carpet or asphalt? Car has lots of corner speed, I prefer small amounts of droop in 21.5/17.5 classes. I'd say the kit carbon chassis is good for almost everything. Unfortunately I never ran the aluminum chassis, but I imagine it would plant the car a bit, and you'd just tweak a few things to dial it in.

[email protected] is the one to use

not yet, haven't needed to retire the D08 from my 21.5 class yet. Are you having any issues with it?

Have not run it yet (carpet) but in theory it should take flex out of the front of the car and would be more suited to high traction situations. I would think for asphalt you'd want to stick with the floating mount.

What are the needed parts to mount the direction directly on the chassis?

The user manual point to references I can't find anywhere on Internet.

Are you using D07 parts?

Thx.

Thx for the answer.

A VBC pilot told me that it is the following part:

Hope they are correct as those are the ones I got. Pretty sure the swing arm thickness has remained the same, so they should work.
