Default Vega-Elite Mid-Motor conversion for the RB5
Team Xtreme - famous for their Predator line of cars have struck out in a new direction with a 'VEGA-ELITE' branded high quality mid-motor conversion for the Kyosho RB5 2WD buggy. All the work is done in-house, in the UK, by the team.



CNC machined aerospace 7075 alloy tub chassis, gearbox, motorplate heat sink, rear shock tower & with custom body shell, a stylish new 'cab-forward' design. The part number is 'VE-RB5', they are now live on the Team Xtreme web shop.

More conversions are in development, watch this space.

For more info visit the Tream Xtreme news page..... Vega Elite.




Team Xtreme:
Just released, the new series of Vega Elite 2WD race conversions for most major top-end race buggies. Featuring CNC machined aerospace 7075 alloy tub chassis & gearbox, motorplate heat sink, rear shock tower, bodyshell and more.
This exciting new conversion changes the weight distribution of the car, allowing it to jump more level & massively helps in-air control and powered landings.
Testing has shown the conversion gives a new more positive feel to the car, allowing for a more aggressive driving style. Flatter jumps, quicker landings and better cornering is bringing noticeably faster and consistent lap times.

I hate it when people advertise prices without VAT already added.

Prices are without vat as vat is not payable outside the E.U. Its the easiest way to have it on the website so as you enter your address it works out if you should pay vat or not.

That is one nice bit of kit! If it was on Top Gear's cool wall, it would be Sub Zero!

Good job to all involved!

How thick is the chassis where the gearbox mounts?
Do the two halves of the gearbox interlock? (cant quite see on the pic)

Really nice design. I like the simplicity of it. Very neat and tidy.
