VBC Racing FireboltDM 2wd Buggy

[Tom3012]

I was running one at southport on Sunday, although I wasn't very consistent, I had a few issues with my electrics unfortunately

However, if you want to try mine your more than welcome to, I'll be at southport most weekends...

P.S mine was white and pink, the only other one I saw was kind of green with a shark or something painted on it? I think the guy who was running it is called Gavin?

This guy was rapid and Was consistently fast I had a look online and they're only 150 at mbmodels right now... we r acc e in door carpet at ribble valley and outdoors, Southport, bury on astro... now... do I buy one? someone mentioned that parts might be hard to get hold of... any opinions? thanks

Paul,
Why don't you get a B5M like Hayden so you can share parts. Like the look of the Firebolt myself

tempted lee, but this is cheaper and has more upgraded parts as standard... how come you weren't there sunday? I had a right mare with my radio

i saw that one, green with a mouth. . sort of akin to a ww2 fighter jet, saw a white one to

[Tom3012]

like I said, if you're ever at Southport let me know, you're more than welcome to try mine

[croller]

The green one is me, car is standard out of the box with the kit set up never changed anywhere I run it at bury and southport, think it's a brilliant car but hasn't got the drivers to push it, as quick on bury as any forward motor cars

[Chris Elworthy]

I'm weighing up running VBC myself Gav I've been well impressed with your's.

Just gotta work some things out first.

Only thing I would like to try on high grip is a gear diff honestly it's tough and easy to drive, like the old Losi's

i love this car but just can not get the shocks to stop leaking at first it was the bottom which a rebuild shorted but now the top rears have started even with new seals has anyone else had this

[K-Brewer]

Had this issue with mine, packed the o rings with green slim for the bottom an extra black o ring on the top from the bottom shock cap of a set of big bore associated shocks (doesnt have to be associated thats all i had in my box) if you double the top then with the original o ring and then put the smaller o ring on after to double them up it will seal nicely. Saying that though i now use yokomo big bore shock on mine

[leelar]

tanks that is how i sorted out the bottom ones which just made the top leak i will have to have a look what i have in my pit box

[Tom3012]

I got a new body shell recently... I've noticed there is now 'cut lines' for the motor on both sides? Are we expecting some kind of update soon?

Possibly, prices were dropped recently

I'm pretty sure associated ones do but i think im also using an associated spur though, cant remember

[COFFIN DODGER]

Yes, I'm using an Associated spur in mine, with VBC pads so I assume that the Associated pads will fit.

[leelar]

Thanks are the associated spurs a direct fit or do you need to do any mods

[K-Brewer]

Direct fit

[leelar]

Thanks thumbsup::

I take it you mean the B5 spur? Do we think the vts slipper will fit?
