Cheers X :thumbsup:

You paint as normal on the inside then remove the over spray film and mask the outside of the windows then spray 2 light coats of Tamiya PS55 flat Matt and your done!

Update:

First race meeting last night at Silverstone club, chucked the car down to race as we arrived late and it was awesome! :thumbsup:

Very easy to drive and loads of steering, was easy to push hard and forgiving in the air, overall one very happy Vega owner! :)

I ran Lee Martins set up to the letter (see link in this thread) and was great!

Only slight change I would like to try on the high grip astro was a stiffer front spring (I used Tamiya blue all round) so maybe I'll try some X gear springs next time.

If your thinking of going for a Vega, go for it, you won't be dissapointed :wub

Little update on the Vega, with advice from the Vega team drivers I'm going to give the Big bore springs a go! A quick guide to what you'll need:

To keep the spring central on the collar use Traxxas part number # 3768

You'll also need Losi 22 spring cups and shock ends, all in one handy pack:

Losi 22: Shock End Set with Spring Cups for 12mm Shock (TLR5095)

Your choice of Losi BB spring, I'm trying Blue Front and Red rear as a starting point.

As you'll see in the pics an easy conversion costing under £20 and the losi springs are ony £3.50 a pair for other lb ratings.

To get an idea on springs ratings/comparison google Petit Rc spring chart and you can view the PDF files.

Mark,where did you get the traxxas parts from

MHeadling 21-08-2012 06:33 AM

Thanks for the link Arno ;)

I got the traxxas parts from eBay uk but most shops with a traxxas account should be able to get them
