The RB5 conversion is most popular - I saw a post saying it handles the best of the 3 Vegas.

That way you'll spend over £300 on a 2wd roller with crappy plastic shocks. If economy is important to you, get a Losi 22, it's pound-for-pound the best (mid-motor) 2wd chassis out there, though the Ansmann Mad Monkey/X2c might have something to say about that.
The cheapest route to Vega is a used B4 roller (£60-ish) and the B4 Vega kit (not B4.1 kit, it would have different gearbox output sizes).
Personally, I'd instead get the B4.1 Vega kit, build it using spares for my B4 and some TRF shocks I have, invest in a SC10/B4.1 gear diff, and a GPM carbon front bulkhead (and maybe a DMS carbon fibre front shock tower) for maximum durability and bling - it would be an expensive car, might as well make it look the best possible.
