I know that they spent last week machining the chassis you're waiting for. So the wait is almost over.

OKey dokey, so if you've currently got a gen 1 Vega 201, what are the key differences, and are you (Vega) going to do a conversion kit?
Cheers. Mark

My 201 Gen 2 has just turned up in the post and I have to say I am very pleased with the way it looks.
The chassis is a slightly different shape to allow saddles to fit in in a narrow or wide configuration. Most importantly though is the back of the chassis is much thicker resulting in the gearbox being raised by about 2mm. There are now 4 holes for the rear pivot block rather than just the 2 on the previous version. They've also included a new rear shock tower which now has loads of camber positions compared to the gen 1 tower. I was going to just buy a new chassis and carbon battery strap to upgrade my version 1 as I believe the gearbox from the gen 1 car will fit on the gen 2 car. I am glad I went for a new complete conversion as the gen 2 gearbox does appear to differ slighly from the gen 1 as the tower seems to mount a few mm further back. Bottom line is the chassis, gearbox, shock tower and battery strap have all changed so I would just go for a complete conversion. Well done Team Extreme, I can't wait to get the car built up and on the track. |

Thanks for the info, would be nice if Vega occasionally answered emails and PMs...
Hmm so that would make the car a cool £600 invested in a 2wd. Think i'll pass and stick with the standard one I have. Besides other than Gurnell, I don't know anyone who has actually received their kit despite paying for it (allegedly instock) back in February. Shame, I guess they're focusing on the RB5 kits instead.

I popped into Xtreme HQ today, lots of Tamiya Gen 2 and RB5's being packed up and getting ready to leave.
Its a small one man firm making these but rest assured they are clearing the back log. They look ace! As it being a £600 car, you can pick up second hand 201's for £100-150 so not too bad and it goes well as Mr Martin is proving |
