VBC Racing FF17 1/10th FWD touring car kit

Coming soon from VBC Racing is the FF17 1/10th scale FWD touring car kit. A nearly complete redesign compared to the company’s previous front wheel driven car, the FF17 features a new gearbox with aluminium side plates and hardened alloy gears, it comes with a redesigned steering with new steering geometry and the updated shock absorbers make for smooth operation. The chassis is cut from high-quality carbon fibre, it utilises standard or shorty battery packs and allows for inline or transverse battery layouts. The vertical upper deck keeps the whole chassis assembly tweak-free even after harsh racing incidents and the lower chassis plate allows for easy mounting of brass weights to fine-tune the car’s weight bias. The car is available as rolling chassis kit or as bundle including a Speed Passion Reventon Stock Club Race speed controller and a MMM Competition 3.0 21.5T motor and it will hit stores this January.
