Side bars to be fitted next then it's off for a trashing on some Aussie clay track

Gave it a run today, not bad at all, could do with a bit of advice on getting some more grip on power coming of the corner. Other than that quite happy

Glad it went well!

How about more rear anti squat? That should give it some more drive.

Keep us posted with progress dude

think it had too much mark, the way it was breaking loose, an also would break loose if on the brakes hard. I ran the inner arm blocks with no spacers, I know the std ultima come with 2 degrees built in and then you shim the rear mount to reduce. But I don't know how the Vega chassis mount has been machined

Maybe heavier springs and damping on the rear???
Is the truck longer in anyway?
What do the Aussies think of the vega?

They are not really into the mid motor thing Scott, there's a few cougers and x6's that race at my club in Perth, but they won't see the Vega till October when I take it to the state titles, if I can cure these small issues I think it will be really good. I would like to run the Vega buggy too will run it back to back with std rb5 and see what I am more comfortable with

Its only the same as the std sc truck, but its longer than a sc10. Why do you ask Scott?. The locals all ask questions about the convertion, then the real anoraks just say," oh that's what lee martin races"
