Vega Elite B4.1 - 2nd Gen

[jimmy]

Vega sent news of their new mid-motor conversion - the Gen 2 version of their Assoicated B4.1 conversion. It borrows from the successful development of the 2012 BRCA Champion VEGA Elite -201 conversion.



Following in the steps of the successful Vega Elite Conversions - we are pleased to announce the release of the B4.1 2nd Gen. New features include:


* New thicker kick up section, reinforced with a high quality weld for dramatically improved strength.


* Front sidewalls thickened to 2.6mm to increase strength.


* Gearbox has been raised 2.0mm - following in the steps of the highly successful 201 Gen2 conversion.


* New Gen2 rear carbon tower with virtually unlimited tuning options.


* Multi-position cell layout for enhanced weight distribution changes - no brass needed.


* Newly designed carbon battery strap.


* Gen 2 body shell designed for increased stability and to produce more down force.

Could I ask, do the C4.1 aftermarket bodies from Pro-line (Bulldog) or Jconcepts (Finisher), fit this chassis?

Have you got any images of your new bodyshell?

I was about to push the button on a C4.1, but this is also tempting...

With some light modding the Jconcepts Finnisher Centro body should fit the vega if not, i think the Jconcepts losi body fits.

My Proline BULLDOG shell went from my C4 to my 201 VEGA (very similar) with no adjustment at all!

It looks a lot like the earlier/other Vegas, that's a promising start! So what exactly are the changes/improvements compared to the Gen 1 Vega B4.1?

[gazhillAE]

So which gear cover Is the best to fit on the vega gen2???
Going to be running it with the proline bulldog losi 22 shell

Any help would be great

You could adapt the stock cover to fit by using a B4 motor plate and a bit of dremel work.

Or the Tamiya 201 cover seems to fit ok with just a bolt through (find some pics of Lee's car on oople reports) but it maybe a bit tight due to the B4.1 slipper spring being a bit bigger than a 201 spring

You could try something like this:

Gaz, I used the standard motor cover, drilled and tap the Vega motor plate for the hole at the back and use a long screw at the front cover hole, which would clamp to the heat sink. I then made a motor plate out of old lexen, which sits against the Vega MP. Was quite fiddly but work for the five mins a ran it.

The standard motor plate will not fit behind the slipper plate unlike the Vega RB5 which does fit. Have a look at Lee's car, this is what I did.
