mine with a new shell.

first attempt ever with an airbrush...




and the internals:


I tried mounting the esc on top of the battery strap, and it makes for a clean install and short leads. It also fits perfectly inside the body.

Will see how it works next week-end. I am mostly thinking of the practicality of changing batteries, but maybe the raised center of gravity will affect handling (?)

Finlands only (as I know) Vega Elite B4.1 at Finnish Winterjumps series, race 1 19.11 at Nokia.



I had couple of problems at qualify. 1st ok (14), 3 other DNF (speed passion 9.5 failed, idler gear failed, sensor wire failed). Switched to lrp 7.5 (sick fast ).....managed to get to C-final, 9 starting place at grid. Finished 2,1,1 = 1

Vega handles very well also at that kind of surface, coated concrete, with some coca cola for grip. Littlebit more steering is what it needs.....

Yes it is. With no undertray. It has been cut for cougar, so the front is little bit short....but it keeps the car cool...

Nice! Though I think that you should modify that link between servo and steering parts (it's angle because of small servo or unsuitable horn)....

I will have a look at that, but as you can see, the steering is not centered; it is pointing a bit to the left, so that may excaggerate the angle of the horn/link
