Love the review, and you are spot on with the track stuff. We keep telling people the Vortech is the way to go and love ours. It's amazing how simple of a car you can build when you pick the right parts which you have done from the brakes, wheels and tires, all the way to the power adder. Seems real similar to what we do on our cars here.

I was already considering the RPF1 before I saw your review. Now I think I am sold. I also like the way they look which is a plus

I dont have them but this is what I tell everyone. The RPF1s are like the perfect wheel for an all around car. I went a more aesthetic route but the more I drive the car the more I want to trade my wheels.

I have had expensive wheels and wheels i have loved. These are neither. Just get the job done like you said and are most importantly light.

ZOMG! Zombie thread!
I wanted to ask you if Vortech ever finally came though on any of the parts and development changes you suggested them? Did they every end up reworking the fluid tank, instruction manual or any other suggestions you had brought to them? Thanks |

@Rick@Vortech Did your engineers ever update the tank and holes in documentation we talked about?
