VBC Firebolt 2WD buggy – Production prototype

VBC Fibrebolt 2WD buggy – Production prototype

VBC Racing have first images of their forthcoming first 2WD off-road buggy available. The Firebolt is based around a narrow 2.5mm 7075 aluminium chassis with adjustable chassis flex system and a carbon fibre battery brace. Composite sidepods prevent dust, dirt and moisture from entering the chassis while giving additional support when a shorty LiPo battery pack is used. The battery mount will also take saddle or square pack batteries while the upper carbon brace incorporates a fan mount to cool the mid motor when needed. The kit will include several aluminium parts from stock such as 12mm big bore shocks, front arm mount, rear bulkhead and rear suspension mounts. The shock towers are cut from 3.7mm carbon fibre and the turnbuckles and CV-type driveshafts are made from high-quality spring steel. There is no official release date so far but expect the buggy to hit stores anytime this Summer.

Team C TC02C gear differential – Coming soon

Team C have released first images of their somewhat older TC02C 2WD mid motor buggy with gear differential option. Although the company’s TM2 seem like a hot ticket on ultra high grip surfaces some team drivers preferred the conventional TC02C better on medium traction or clay tracks. The gear diff option, that from what we understand includes also a new gearbox, is designed to replace the stock ball differential with a solution that allows for improved forward bite when needed. We bring you more information on the part(s) as soon as we get them.
