I race at all the nationals and mid south regionals (although all of these are over for the year now). I'm local to Stotfold so get up there a fair bit. I'll be at most of the major races over the winter hopefully too.

Maybe I'll see you at one of them!

May be. I did venture up to the last regional there. As I get better I'll have a go at the nationals next year.

Hi,

I'm running my standard 201 on astroturf, and the main issue I'm having is understeer - during all cornering phases. is this a normal rear-motor trait?

will the vega conversion sort this?

[InsideLineModels]

You shouldn't really be getting that much understeer with any car thats set up correctly, so there might be something wrong somewhere. I assume you are using the same tyres as others at your track? Failing that, the next thing to look at would be ballast.

The inboard conversions generally make the cars more forgiving and from what i've seen of the Tamyia versions, they have loads of steering.

We have a one Tamiya Vega conversion in stock if you do decide to go for one.

generally people were running yellow minis on the rear, cut staggers on the front. I left the rear as it was and went for narrow yellow minis on the front for more steering, which helped, but under power the front end would just keep pushing. I might experiment a bit more with weight distribution

I asume you are talking about Cobra Craig?

I'd say exactly the same as Kev... he's quite a clever chap

201 may lack a little on power steering but shouldn't be as bad as you describe. Are you running the new cut staggers? or old staggers that have been cut, if you are running the latter this may be your problem.

I would also agree with Kev about Vega conversion. From what I have seen of the car it makes the car more settled in general on the bumpy astro and gives a little more steering on power.

IMHO car of choice in the dry would be Vega 201 and if damp/wet TRF 201

Just wish I had either LOL

For now I'll stick with the B4.1

[GRIFF55]

Really? I found the old stagger that had been cut gave more steering on my 201 and also on the tardis. I also found using a concepts b4 front wing, cut to fit the 201 helped loads
Have to agree that the vega should be waaaay better on high grip tracks for us mere mortals who can't rag the rear motor around a track like some do.

indeed mr harris, cobra was the venue. I'm running the new style staggers with the paired inner blocks. I'm going to have to experiment with damping to move the balance to where I want... and get a bit more practice!

finished 4th though so it wasn't so bad.

sorry - total thread hijack!

[The Chef]

A few more shells and I'm in

[The Chef]

Went to order My Vega today, Got to the check out page and all the Prices are PLUS VAT Guess I'll have to wait. I thought all prices have to be including VAT or at least say they don't include vat.

So I'll have to wait a little longer.

[Rebelrc]

Hi chef
How do you know you have to add vat?
You must have read it some where lol
They have no vat added on the price cause overseas orders do not have to pay vat there for would be confusing for them

Is it the Rb5 Vega back in stock now? The last time I looked they where sold out?

[The Chef]

Just ordered one. It said that the B4.1 is out of stock so I guess that the RB5 version would say out of stock.

Hmm don't get that then, I've been looking in Inside Line racing's web site all week & it says there sold out? Unless your getting yours from somewhere else? Only the 201 kit left in stock?
