VBC D07 aluminium spool & 1.6mm upper deck

VBC Racing have two new option parts for the Wildfire D07 touring car available in the form of a lightweight aluminium spool and a 1.6mm carbon fibre upper deck. Starting with the spool, the CNC-machined part is made from lightweight yet durable 7075 material and it weighs in at only 3.8g. The red anodised part replaces the standard composite housing and it fits all Wildfire and Ghost series cars. The second new part is the 1.6mm carbon fibre upper deck especially made for the Wildfire D07. The top deck is cut from a thinner material for increased torsional flex which can be helpful especially on low-grip tracks.
