Vega or Centro for my B4

[racingdwarf]

Hi all

Thinking what to do with my B4 as it is just sitting at the min, I know I will have to change the outdrives and bearings to make the change over.But my question is as title

Centro or vega???????? and why did people who have changed to eather of the chassis make the choice between them.

I have driven a Kyosho vega, and it was nice....very nice, but unless I can find a second hand car the cost of buying a car and the conversion is a bit on the high side

Any ideas?


Oh also, I know the B4 vega is out any day soon, before someone posts

I have a second hand RB5 SP2 in the for sale section for £115!

Having tried the B4 Vega and the RB5, I went with the RB5 as it had all the team driver support and the one I drove was just awesome. (Matt Owens old car)

Never looked back since and would never sell it. (The one for sale is one I kept for spares, but they dont break!) I dont ever change set-ups and its good everywhere.. The two other lads I race with have both bought them too!

Expensive they are, but the amount I have saved in spares over my old cougar is mental... they are just so solid and the shocks are just awesome..

Never used the C4.1, but they seem to go very well, although they dont look very pretty with the shell off compared to the vega..

Have to echo the above comments on the strength of the RB5 Vega, they are just insane. I've been racing mine for about 4 months now, and haven't had a ball joint even pop off, let alone break something! They are bombproof, if I drove it into a wall I reckon the wall would fall down and the car would drive away!

I also have the RB5 Vega ant it is amazing. if you want to use the B4 then the Centro is the one for you as it was designed for the B4 in the first place the Vega was predominantly designed for the RB5 and was watered down/compromised for the Tamiya and B4 in my oppinion I've seen 3 bent Vega Chassis on the B4 as the front kick up plate part is alloy on the B4 where it is plastic on the RB5 and can all be Replaced if needed.

Just My 2p worth

Ahhhh, why does the RB5 one have to be the one,costs a bomb to make.

TBH as at this time of year the money tree is looking a little bare! the centro could be the best shot, I also see it can run stumpy lipos, a good thing as I have some,for the vega I would have to buy saddles

Thanks so far,keepem comming
