VBC Racing Wildfire D07 touring car kit

VBC Racing Wildfire D07 touring car kit

VBC Racing Australia have first images of the forthcoming Wildfire D07 electric touring car kit available. The latest incarnation of the company’s touring car platform will be based on a 2.5mm carbon fibre main chassis with 2mm upperdeck and an innovative “floating” steering design that decouples the steering bellcrank posts from the chassis to allow for improved front flex characteristics. A sturdy aluminium centre pod still makes for accurate steering response while different flex settings help to fine-tune the setup. Also new to the D07 is an improved motor mount for optimised left-to-right flex characteristics of the rear part of the chassis while the new Zero Tolerance Pulley system makes for an ultra smooth drivetrain operation. Other new features include an updated anti-roll bar mount on the A-arms, a new suspension geometry using carbon composite parts, all-new 3.5mm carbon shock towers, new centre arm mounts with adjustable flex settings and more.
