B4 Vega Setup

[grelland]

Hi there.

My B4.1 Vega arrived a couple of weeks ago, but I am still waiting for some diff parts since I had the non-.1 version of B4, so I have not been able to run the car yet.

However, I still find no info on setups. I was kind of expecting some setup info with the kit, but as it turned out, there was no, absolutely no, info included in the kit, so I have done my best to guess how it all comes together, as there were not even assembly instructions...

So... Does anybody have any setup info to share? I run on a quite bumpy astro-track.

the kit needs no instructions Roy
children have made them

I agree it went together nicely, but still...

I agree with Rebel, customers who buy this type of racing product should know there way round a race car and a 2wd, anyway they drop together!

As for set ups speak to nicVegachild on this forum, he will help.

It's early days for the car so set ups will come through no doubt!

I would go with your STD B4 set up and go from there. Maybe take a look at the Vega Kyosho set ups and compare set ups with the B4, there are spring comparison charts Petit Rc so you can get a set up similar to the Kyosho shocks

i allready have setups for two different types of carpet, high grip astro, astro and tarmac mixed and many more.
it is easier for me to email a set up sheet than it is to write it all out on here so PM me if you need a setup

I already have your setup, I just wanted to know if there are more people out there than you and I that run this car, and what experiences they might have at this time

If you don't want to wait for the parts to arrive, like me, with a creative solution, you can run the Vega with a b4 diff.

I also have a Vega 4.1 and a B4 donor car, with 2 shock o-rings and a metal shim on the outdrive before the bearing it fits the 4.1 gearbox quite nicely.

I ran a few nights now and it still holds up.

I have ordered the b4.1 outdrives and will change them once they arrive but for time being this works.

For our clay track I run piston 2 + 30wt all round, silver springs on the front, as we have dust on the track I swapped silver in the rear for a softer green spring.
It runs pretty good on our track, much more rear traction than a b4.

thanks for the input, even though I have no particular credentials to speak about, I will also post my setups and experiences as I move forward

And looking at pictures of nicVEGAchildJR's car, I realised that I put the rear A-arms on backwards... So I guess some instructions would come in handy afterall...
