I ran the car last week, being my first race in roughly two and a half years, the vega needed to help me alot!

Using the above set up, the car seemed very twitchy, more so the rear end seemed very stiff! It gave tonnes of steering, which I enjoy, but didnt seem to handle the bumps just as well.

A few changes I made to suit my driving, was related to soften out the rear end.
I moved the rear camber link to the middle position, both vertically and horizontally as the position originally just didnt seem 'right'.
I dropped to green rear spring running the shocks on the middle hole on the tower, and inside hole on the wishbones.

This seemed to make the car on rails! it handled all areas of the Southport track extremely well, giving up fast lap times.

Overall with a meeting of 8 heats and a very competitive top 3 heats I finished 8th overall.

Absolutely thrilled with the car, on high grip it didnt try to grip roll, it was, as said, on rails!!

I've just put in some new electronics, here are some pictures.





Running a full size servo, it was very hard to install neatly. I'm still not happy with it, but there isnt much room to play with at all!
I've been told the low profile servos are slightly slower, as such its put me off as i need a very quick servo to keep up.

Having installed the FrySky system it helped alot with space management. This is also an excellent system from what ive seen so far.
