Default Best place to buy Vega kits/spares

Just wondered that now Kev has apparently left the Vega/Team Extreme stable behind, who or where are we best to try to get the Vega Elite cars and spares from? Cheers.

The only problem with this car seems to be lack of dealers/suppliers. I know it's a low volume company but it's a little tricky to get hold of kits and parts if what I'm hearing is to be believed. Are rudebits still stocking them? Still not sure which way to go this year.

I guess the good thing is that you don't break the vega bits apart from the rear tower... But if you get the thicker ones they don't break anyway.

Unless parts supply will be reliable then I'll be moving on.

You`d think not bud but im afraid that the milled chassis can be twisted/bent in bad landings or heavy crashes, and reg had someone run into him mashing his gearbox housing too.

Must admit, I love the car but my only experience with team extreme was disappointing..

Don't think loosing Kev will do them any favours, but time will tell I guess..

Mark, how the hell did you break it? thats good effort!

I agree. Once a continuing supplier is in place it'll be close to perfect.
