VBC Racing WildfireD08 centre weights & stiff topdeck

VBC Racing have introduced two new option parts for the WildfireD08 touring car. First up is the LCG centre balance weight set. Making use of a central 12.5g weight and a second, attachable 18.5g weight the set allows to easily add weight, up to 31g in total, to the centre of the car. The parts run beside and underneath the belt which makes them still easy to reach for swift weight distribution changes. Also new is the stiff upper deck made from a special carbon fibre. Additional carbon layers make for improved torsional rigidity compared to standard carbon fibre, resulting in a stiffer feeling. Still 2mm thick the top deck, marked with a gold-colour dot, is a direct replacement for the stock part and ideal for high-grip asphalt tracks.
