It will work just be carefully when setting your end points.

Dave Johnson grabbed TQ at the Fall Fiasco at Lou's Speedway in London Ontario Canada with his Wildfire in Stock 17.5. Unfortunately he smoked a motor in the Main.

VBC Wildfire

Just order a Wildfire. LHS wanted to know if it was 190mm or 200mm for ordering GT body. Any suggestion on body? Planning on running local club race - GT class either 21.5 or 17.5 GT.

It's a 190mm

If you run a 200mm body just get the hpi +5mm offset wheels, that is if they don't run a spec tire like jaco or sweep for the class.

Spare Parts

What spare parts are recommended to have on hand?

Are you better off just buying a second kit for parts?

Newby needs direction

Steering knuckles and C-hub's seem to break the most often, Although i have broken a front arm as well. I would keep at 2 sets of each. Maybe more depending on your track and if anyone else would have spares you could use.

I've broken C-hubs at least 2 times now... and not even at speed, I'm talking 30-40% speed going through a 180. I replaced mine with Xray 4 degree hubs for now.

Does the xray c-hubs fit without modifications or other parts (is it a direct fit)?

Thanks.
