Default Is the vbc firebolt any good ?.

As the title says. Are they any good. I don't know anybody using one but I am curious. Has anybody had one or is anybody using one and what do they think of them. ?.

Love mine, so much so I bought a second! Granted it's not as fast as a KF2 or YZ-2 on really high grip but as an overall car for every condition it's brilliant!

Not sure where you're based but if you ever come to southport you're welcome to try mine!

Its also a very good price and you don't need any options, maybe a gear diff if you like them

those that have them all rave about them since they have fixed the front bulkhead its a solid car only option you might consider is a yokomo gear diff and maybe brass weight to balance the car for the price its a great car

It will be used on carpet mainly. I was looking at the yokomo but thought I would just be different. I just wasn't sure how competitive they are. Do they have any team drivers ?.

I totally agree with the earlier post by Tom. I love mine too. I prefer a car which doesn't need too much tinkering with on different tracks, and the Firebolt fits that bill perfectly.Build it on standard set up, add a gear diff, and a Beamcat alloy bulkhead, and it's sorted. much prefer it to the B5m I had previously.
