Vega eh, is he the guy from street fighter II ?
Nice, I thought the B4 design was a hex but I guess not.

Vega makes some awesome alloy gearboxes and chassis for the mid motored Kyosho and Tamiya cars that are winning everything in the UK at the moment. Some of the best milled work I have seen, as good as my friend Manolis.

Gearbox redesign first then the shaft, as I need to tension the belt first before I go down the layshaft route. I now am unable to race my ZXR this weekend due to no belts. ZXS time and I am worried as I havent tested this with mini pins rear and staggers front so am unsure how its going to go.
