Try the Penguin RC shell It's very nice, I did.

Yes i agree with simonW he has now done another last week a new cab forward i think he has 3 or 4 shells that fit the vegas.

Does he have a web site do you know

I have a gen2 vega shell.

You can have it for £15 posted, or £35 painted?

Lee Martin is running with the Proline Losi 22 rear motor Bulldog shell. It looks very good on the car but obviously you need to fit a spur cover which is not as straight forward to seal as a centro for example due to the shape of the motor plate. The Gen 2 Vega body has grown on me though....certainly a huge improvement on the original!!:wtf:

There is no web site, only ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/haskins200...id=p4340.l2562

Here's a link to the new RB5 Vega shell :thumbsup:

I'm using a centro Proline bull dog and using the gear cover, it's off at the paint shop at the moment but I'll post up some pics when it's back.

Yeah please do :thumbsup:
I had assumed from pictures of the Centro shell that it narrowed too quickly just behind the motor to fit Vega.....but it works ok?

Its not a 100% perfect fit but seen one on Matt Owens Vega and looked pretty good to me!

There are a few gaps towards the rear of the chassis line but should be ok.

Sounds good.....Do people leave the gear cover open behind the spur gear?

Lee has a lexan plate made up but seen some Vega RB5 using machined out motor plate over the top.

There is a thread done by jackel trader on how to do it

Few gaps, however this shell was originally cut for C4.1!!

I prefer the standard centro shell shape and have just got a new one all painted up. Will it fit the Gen2 B4.1 vega??!??

It will with very slight adjusting only ;)

Cheers Matt.
Sounds good, is it just at the rear of the shell that needs adjustment around the gear cover area?

No probs!

That's the one mate, and/maybe a minor cut at the front end (2mm tops) as my steering links caught the shell

Cheeky spy shot of Team Xtreme's own Will Johnson's 201 Vega gen 2 with the new shell on, looks ace!:)
