bad or god night ??thinking of investing in a vbc wildefire 06 anyone ever raced them

[nivlacf1]

thinking of investing in a vbc wildfire 06 anyone ever raced them or know what they are like to get parts for? i am in a rock and hard place my daughter has had a bad few weeks then raced a decent set up car and won her heat that made me realize she needs a better more up to date set up car(currently running xray t2) so did not know if i should carry on down the xray route or go with this wildfire 06 brand new never run? i do not know anyone that runs them so help of parts at a club might not be good in an emergency this concerns me, i just want her to have good races like she did tonight, she was starting to lose confidence because of the last few weeks until she raced this good setup tonight it gave her the confidence back she needed so she knew it was not her but the car and setup, now i need to provided her with a good car so thoughts on a brand new never turned a wheel vbc would be great,
thanks

Dont know anything about the VBC cars but i know MB Models are selling the 07 for £159.
Or check out the newer xrays second hand, there's a lot of t4 14's popping up.

Personally i would stick with big names like xray or tamiya (xray would be my choice).

Spares backup and user support are worth there weight in gold, unless you want to buy and carry every spare you might need for an uncommon chassis.

When they came out , couple of years back.?, they were the latest "must have" car....sadly, like many others, they seem to have "died"...particularly sad as they are imported by Jamie Booth SMD...
Stick with the main brands... Associated, Yokomo, Kyosho, Schumacher,.....possibly X-ray...!. Always spares and plenty of advice..

I agree. Stick to brands that others have at the club she races at. Plenty of advice and if a part breaks that you don't have you may be able to borrow one from another racer then give them a replacement next time.

As an Xray driver I would mostly say Xray but look at the results and therefore bang for buck

As I race infrequently indoor through the summer thinking I may invest if MB has any left!!!
