Forgive me breaking my oople silence but I needed to comment on this great news.
Welcome Lee , congrats on your choice of chassis and it looks like the right choice going by the early lap times!
Nice work as per normal Lee !
Have a good year

Well Lee wouldn't be running the vega without permission from Tamiya, and maybe this might push them to build a mid of there own

doubt it, tamiya would not build a car just for the UK market.

Is the chassis made of graphite or is it only a sticker?

It's an alloy chassis with a carbon skin inlay.

I'v seen the LMR Vega developed car at Xtreme head quarters, it looks amazing!

So nice infact I have bought a 201 to build one up!

Can't wait to see Lee at the Nats with it.

Can somebody please explain what is the advantage of switching the motor from rear to center. Its a trend I notice catching on like wildfire in Europe, but here in the US I dont see any (with the exception of TLR-22).

So whats all the hooplah all about? What's up with center motor mounted 1/10 2WD buggies?? What kind of track is the center motor car more suited to, as opposed to the original rear motor setup???
