Vega B4.1 Gen II

[Danny McGee]

Hi All,

Here is my setup from Kiddy.

Clearly i've not done much testing with the car yet, but this seemed to be a really good starting point from which i will work from.

Front
Oil: 37.5
Piston: Associated 2 Piston
Spring: Big Bore Losi Green
Shock Position:
Inside on the wishbone
Second hole on the tower
Camber Link:
Inside on the tower
Shortest link on the Hub
2mm under the bump steer washer position
Brass bulkhead

Rear
Oil: 30
Piston: Associated 1 Piston
Spring: Big Bore Losi Pink
Shock Position:
Inside on wishbone
Middle on tower
Camber Link:
Second from top on the longest (inside) hole
Middle on the standard 0 degree rear hubs (turned around the make the camber link a bit straighter)
Short Wheelbase
4 degree's antisquat
3.5 degree's toe in

Motor: Tekin 7.5
Speedo: Tekin RS Pro
Gearing: 26/81

I think that's about it.

Anymore questions, then please ask either by PM or in here.

Attached is the file from Speedo.

Probably best for you to have a look for yourself

This is a wet setup also wasn't ran in the dry at all but shouldn't make too much difference.
What did you think compared to the c4.1 mate?

My B4.5 is getting kind of tired and I don't want to spring for a completely new kit since I know once I do, a B5 is around the corner. (A friend is an Engineer at AE) and its likely something could be coming soon.
(I got burned when I finally got a screaming deal on a NIB 44.1 and 3wks later the 44.2 was released!!! )

Have had my eye on a Vega, just because its different. Curious if anyone has any comparisons between it and the X-Factory car? They run with some success N of me here in the US, but again, I mainly contend with Kyosho, AE, Losi, Team C, Tamiya and Durango. I just want to try something that no one else runs. Though it will give me a disadvantage with little US support, but perhaps the brethren would be able to enlighten me about setups.

I race primarily on indoor clay track with high traction with my 17.5 2wd buggy. I know most of you folk are astro and carpet, but does ANY clay/Dirt tracks exist?

We have a new dirt track here in the uk,
But I don't know if anyone uses mid motor cars there!?
The track is RHR Dirt
It's ment to be ace, bit I've never been

No new updates?

No one has posted it, but i was wondering if anyone uses the JCo or AE steering rack upgrade? Wasn't sure if it fit in the car or not, but since the front is mainly AE, I thought it might transfer easily.

Also, (since the only Mid cars i have seen run here are the losi 22 and the Xfactory cars..., does anyone know if similar setups from Xfactory transfer to the Vega?) Has anyone ran both and how do they compare? I REALLY REALLY want to get one soon, but being a fish out of water when it comes to this car and this type of configuration for indoor Blue Groove Clay tracks. I know several racers up N who run the X-factory car and I considered borrowing some of their setup ideas if it will help move me in the right direction.

I'm using the avid steering rack on my car as are a few other vega drivers, great addition to the car. As to it being used in dirt no reason why not if the X6 works.

In the uk we are on high grip astro and carpet etc, have a look at some set ups on petit Rc and maybe some dirt set up there?

Or use the B4 dirt set up and tune from there??
