What motor are you using Mike? Surprised to see a 2wd oveheat!?

7.5 which always ran ok in my SV. When I took the shell off you could feel the heat release. So I'll be opening up the side hole and the two at the outside on the front.

SP LPF wiht a SP v3 7.5 - I believe the DR on the 201 Vega is 2.6 - ran 78/24. Will get some more gears from Neil at RW this week

Transmission is all free and diff isn't slipping etc.

Semi there. Raced it today, but need to get cooling into the shell as I unsoldered a battery wire. Seriously hot in there compare with my old SV.

Very nice though. Not owning a 4WD at the mo, 511 or SX3.. Think I'll stay with the Tamiya parts and go for the 511..

Was nice to race 2WD again outside (last time was with my SV at the F345s).
I am running the shell completely uncut (except for the cooling hole around the slipper LOL) and i've had no problems with anything getting hot. I've been running a 6.5 Tekin motor with a SP LPF on 79/24 and it comes off barely warm. My opinion is you have something wrong with the electrics, maybe a short or something similar :confused:

Sounds like I am under geared. I will check again, but never had a prob before. Want to get a low profile servo to move the esc to the middle

It de soldered a battery wire at lipo end. Never had that happen to me before.

Drive train is free and ok.

My ex Durango with a 7.5 gt2 pro came off cooler! I know a number of people had heat issues on Sunday. Is it our astro???

Hope I won't have to get a new LPF / 7.5
Is the 201 a 2.6 ratio box?

chuckie stella

11-04-2011, 09:30 PM

Hi Mike, I presume you mean grippy astro!? I doubt anywhere is grippier than our Stone track and in the heat yesterday my car barely got warm.

mikeyscott

12-04-2011, 07:23 AM

I haven't been running any cooling holes either and have had no heat issues. I find it all comes off cooler due to the large heatsink... the motor plate/gearbox/chassis.

Just a quick question. when you put the gearbox together did you use all the shims supplied to stop end float of the layshaft?

Yes I did use the shims to stop the end float. Didn't use all of them as it became tight with the 3rd one.

Sounds like I'll be having another shell done in due course as I normally hate having holes!

If you look at the picture in the link - http://www.oople.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=22583&d=1302458452 I've got the ESC at the edge of the car, thus may not be able to "breathe" with the shell so close. As said, plan to get a low profile savox servo and then move the ESC forwards and to the middle.

Just a question of whether to roll with the 7.5 or 6.5 going forward considering how much weight is in it!

JustARcFan

21-04-2011, 07:30 AM

What's the weight of the car?
What motors are you running?

I have the 28gr under servo + 92gr esc weight and the car is only 1572gr.

A 6.5R is in my opinion to hot as a motor. I have a 7.5SP and it's more than enough.

I've also got the under LIPO weight. I'd have to get some new scales first....

Last nationals I was running 78/26 and the car was VERY fast.

Did run 11.5 timing on the esc.

crappy mobile photos, and not yet finished, but here are a couple of shots of my B4.1 vega, although built by B4 parts. Diff is not here yet, so I haven't finished the transmission yet.

With the low-profile servo and novak kinetic esc, I fit all the electronics quite nicely.

Whatever happened to Crisp tyres ? (nice Vega btw) :)

Gayo

26-05-2011, 11:38 PM

They were made by Medial Pro around 2000, when they tried to enter the 1/10th market. They were not the easiest tyres to work with as, for ultimate performance, you had to cut each pin (that's 1600 for a 4wd, trust me :o), glue them in a special way, add tape to the inside... Pit nightmare :lol:
They had several compounds, so you could use their tyres on all surfaces, from wet astro to loose dirt, or indoors.

Medial Pro was the maker of some of the best 1/8th rallycross tyres of the 90's, like the Pulsar, the Whoops, the Turbo... They won numerous Euro and World titles.

Medial Pro was forced to stop production a few years back when they couldn't afford local (french) production costs Vs chinese manufacturing. That's how our world goes nowadays...

Sorry for such an off topic post :rolleyes:

so why did you come on here and waste your time making a comment on somthing that doesnt relate to you and to be honest I think most people are probably quite bored with the 'nice shell not nice shell' debate, if the look of a bodyshell really does feature that much in someones decision to buy a car then i would hate to think what their thoughts would be on whats underneath. I do own a vega and couldnt give a toss if it had a coke bottle strapped to it, all i care about is that it has made me progress with my driving skills

Any weight over the axle will slow the reaction time for sure.
The B4.1 may be different but certainly for the Kyosho Vega, none of us use weight over the front axle. We do run weight under the Servo, Speedo and under the Lipos and adjust for different conditions.
Hope this helps you a little.
I still think it looks good - LOL

The vega shell just isnt my cup of tea :), so i went with a cougar shell. Which means i get to use an undertray to protect that beautifully machined chassis :). The gear cover is the tamiya one which is held on with a screw that required me to drilla hole in the motor mount. Theres also a piece of plastic on the other side meaning the gear is totally enclosed. I did this cos i thought the cougar was a bit tight around the spur gear.

Hi Styleone, Yes its Tamiya PS55 on the outside of the shell 3 coats and black on the inside, just remember to to mask the windows on the outside to keep the shiny!

I really like it, who knows how it will hold up once its had a few crashs etc?!

I've never run the big bores before so it'll be interesting. Had to make sure everything fits ok with the WC and conversion, so thats the reason for the new car :). The longer wishbones should stiffen the front a little which could be a good thing!

I'm hoping it's a little bit more consistent but it'll be hard to tell with the big bore aswell... i suppose i should try with small bores too.

I didn't actually realise they were different! I just read tony's post too..

It's been difficult to find the time to build it this week, so i haven't compared it to the old version as much as i would have liked. Thanks for the heads up.

29-10-2011, 06:43 PM

Kev, the car is looking hot but don't forget the new tower is different on the upper holes and it's taller too.
The middle on new tower is the inner of the older tower and its taller for more up travel.
Just in case you forget - LOL
Text me tomorrow and let me know how it goes - I will be at TORCH

Yeah i didn't realise... although up travel is now limited by the innner ballstud mount becuase the pivot pins are closer together. So you have to use limiters on the shock shafts to stop the wishbone hitting it.

Have fun a TORCH... to far for me as i'm on baby duty all night..........

Meant to say i'm also using the tapered pistons thanks to Nick. I'm starting with 1.2mm all round and 6 hole rear 5 front. 30wt rear and 40 front. Feels good on the bench but maybe could do with 4 hole front... we'll see tomorrow.

I haven't but considered it recently to get a bit less drive. I think you'd only need to shave a little of the chassis. Do you run the same wishbones?

njc11

29-10-2011, 07:13 PM

Yep run same wishbones... with the narrower mounts your shocks end up more stood up, so no need for the new hole youve drilled on the wishbone...

You have to shave more than you think of the chassis..

Ive found it made the car much more consistent, gives loads more steering ..( you dont need the front end as soft in springing...& i dont use the vega steering knuckle arm mod either ) without any other sacrifices especially in rear traction Suprised me really as i would have thought it would make the rear end even more locked in... im also back using 0 deg hubs!

Try up front 6 x 1.1mm 40wt Kyosho Yellow... and Rear 6 x 1.2mm kyosho Red 30wt.. maybe 35wt... sweet ;)

http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m68/grelland/vega-1.jpg

I tried mounting the esc on top of the battery strap, and it makes for a clean install and short leads. It also fits perfectly inside the body.

Will see how it works next week-end. I am mostly thinking of the practicality of changing batteries, but maybe the raised center of gravity will affect handling (?)

I had couple of problems at qualify. 1st ok (14), 3 other DNF (speed passion 9.5 failed, idler gear failed, sensor wire failed). Switched to lrp 7.5 (sick fast :p).....managed to get to C-final, 9 starting place at grid. Finished 2,1,1 = 1

Vega handles very well also at that kind of surface, coated concrete, with some coca cola for grip. Littlebit more steering is what it needs.....

Wolfux nice car! How was the build?

wolffux

22-11-2011, 10:02 AM

The building was awesome! I made 1 or 2 small mistakes during the assembly! But they were minor (had the wrong rear arms with only the front mounting holes for the schocks and forgot to dremel off the clearance of the outdrives of the gearbox assy)! My bad! The only 2 negative things are first the lack of a small manual/blank setup sheet! So much afford was done and no manual? I don't need a manual like Tamiya/KYOSHO or Asso! But a sheet with some building tips and hints would have been great! Second is the quite high price! I paid 220 GBP which is approx. 260 Euros! For a conversion not a whole car!
But for me it was worth it!

Hi,

Yes I'm back with the Vega, but Kyosho RB5 long chassis version and loving it. My 2WD car for 2012.

Special thanks to SteveB, Kev Lee and Tony Evdoka.

Shell was painted by Jon at RCS

Kit wise:
Orion R10
Orion motor
Sanwa RX
Savox 1257 servo

Had it's 2nd run at TORCH today and I've got some work to do on my driving, but the car is superb.

Awesome car. Work on big bores setups and got some nice ones but may try small bores too as they seemed to react quicker were BB are smoother on jumps and bumpy sections.

Keep us posted Mickey on SB/BB !

Big thanks to Kevin Lee and Tony for tips and very good communication with Team Xreme too.

The saddle fit in the "long" position on all the V2 versions?
What is the best "donor" to build a Vega v2??

cheers.

They only fit in the long position on the tamiya version. As for the best donor, the popular opinion is that the kyosho is the best version. I haven't had chance to run my tamiya version yet so I can't really comment other than Lee Martin did rather well at the first national of the year.

I ran the RB5 version last year and it was great. This year i have a gen 2 Tamiya version. Built it from a brand new 201 and ran it once only.
Seems not as pointy as the older version but man, it looks like a boat!!!!

Once i get it sorted it should be great.

You mean that the V1 was pointy, and the V2 is long as a boat!?:eh?::)
( and the donor isn't so much important!?)

Yes the version 1 seemed more aggressive. The version 2 Tamiya is very long compared to the older one. Nice car tho.

very nice mate :)

Need to stick down the PT .... ;)

I'm not a massive fan of the new shell so will be looking at getting a proline 22 done for it.

It's velcro'd to the side of the servo mate. It's going nowhere. :thumbsup:

Good skills :)

Well I'll get a proline 22 painted, but also have a DB1. I like options :thumbsup:

I've got the pro line shell too. Only in black tho. Gotta say I love the shape of the gen2 Vega shell. The DB1 looks awesome. Petes building one. I'm waiting. Only just got the Vega.

Cool, has he got it yet?

Gen2 lexan quality on mine is terrible, really thin one side and varied thickness elsewhere. So proline 22 in my colours soon and gen2 in bin. Gen2 are in my colours but shell quality let's it down.

SteveB has also moved to db1 as he sold his vega tonight I think.

Either way back to back time, but vega for this weekends regional.

Vega with Orion kit, DB1 with SP and two 451 Sanwa RXs

I love my RB5 WC gen 2 vega, very forgiving. The car is capable of going quicker than I'll ever be able to drive it so don't see the pint in changing. The best way to improve is to stay with the car you like and get to know it. Is it not? I've got steadily better over the last year. It is now about constancy and little Tweeks. I'll never be F1 but to be consistant and improve as far as I can will be great. I don't mind loosing as long as I feel that I raced my best and even better it is great to battle against someone of equal ability neck and neck. That is a great feeling.
