RB6 VS Vega

[racingdwarf]

Hi all

What are you thoughts on the question below

Is the RB6 a head and shoulders better car than the RB5 with vega conversion?

I have a vega, and I love it but starting to think about change, the rb6 is one expensive car! is it worth it as I'm not sure the people I have seen change from one to another have rely felt any benefit for the cost

dont say vega the rb6...just not got that sort of money

yes the RB6 is expensive...but is it more expensive compared to an RB5 + Vega conversion kit? Don't think so. I have driven the stock RB5 and the Vega conversion. Of course the Vega drives better on pure Astroturf tracks, on dirt however... The RB6 should give the best of both worlds.

I have never driven the RB6 but at the moment I would choose the RB6 above any conversion kit...

I paid £220 for my used 6 an got over six months before needin to refreshin anything an just front arms an bumper at that I won't be changing or taking the vega back off the shelf I might db2 it for winter at the stone though

hang on wrong direction, I drive a zx5 and an rb5 vega the quality is the best not knocking the kyosho quality


the question is all on track, has anyone found the rb6 far better than a rb5 vega is it realy worth the cost of change for a bit of club racing or am I just as well stiking to my vega

Not knockin quality quite the opposite you'll not really loose any money if you try a used one and decide not to keep it

I currently run the rb6 gen3 vega. Having ran the rb6 for a few months and then converting it to the gen3 vega was a revelation. Very easy to drive, not too much front end like I found the rb6 but a great balance of sharp front end with ample rear end. If i were to recommend anything it would be to vega an rb6

My experience has been 6 months with the RB6 after having both gen1 and 2 RB5's.
It took me 5 months to get it going right and now it is going well i would say, the main thing is you can tune chassis flex which is good and that it turns all the way round a corner on or off power where the RB5 geometry would always tend to 1 way or the other, more in less out was good for most places but as the grip went you would always struggle getting out of a corner, when set less in more out it was always slow through a corner, basically i could never get the balance right. The RB6 on the other hand can turn extremely well and fast and hardly steps at all with the setup i have now on it.
