VBC Racing have introduced three brass suspension mounts for the Wildfire D08 touring car. Available is a 10.9g FR mount, a set of 4.3g split inner suspension blocks and also an outer 9.5g block. The brass parts are around four times heavier than the standard aluminium mounts and they help to fine tune the weight balance of the car while also doing away with the need to use a large amount of unsightly stick-on wheel balance weights. The mounts are available separately and they are a direct fit on the D08.

VBC Racing Lightning FX aluminium chassis plate

Coming from VBC Racing and made for the Lightning FX is an aluminium main chassis plate. A trend in touring car racing when running on high-grip surfaces, more and more pan cars now also enjoy the advantages of running higher rigidity chassis. The latest is VBC Racing’s high-end formula car that can be equipped with a black anodised 7075 aluminium main chassis. Offering silver chamfered edges the part not only looks cool, it also helps to calm the car’s reactions while making it more consistent when running on high-bite surfaces or when utilising high-traction tyres. Also new and advised to run in combination with the aforementioned alloy chassis is an aluminium lower pod plate. Just like the main chassis the plate comes black anodised, laser-etched and with silver chamfered edges.
