12S Kraken VEKTA.5 is here!

[luke66]

aahhhhhahahaha it's BEAUTIFUL!!
but my first car will prob cost less lol

 

[Chubaka]

need a 2nd, 3rd, 4th AND 5th job just to afford that. over and above the $50/hr I already make

Just quit eating for a few days. If you drink you can save more money. that's what I did in my younger days. Most of the cars I want are this scale now trying to add one a year.

Ya, I'm 67 now , don't drink at all ,maybe that's why I'm able to fool the wifey , but these parts weren't that much , but I'm selling all kinds of stuff to do this project , and I spent 3 hours today clearing snow at several places , earned $235 , which is more than half what I paid , like I tell my kids , if you want something , go get it !! Film at 11 , jeeeeze ! And ddm arrived also just now ! OOOOOOH BOYEEEEE!!!! I really believe all this is necessary to run the primal mega tires , and land a jump with a truck still in tact

Another perfect fit by Taylor rc !! I gotta hand it to kraken assemblers , unlike arrma , they know how to administer locktight very well , things came apart easily

O. M. G. !!!!! I took the thing out ,without the body, just to go through the motions , second time I took off from a stand still , hit the throttle to much evidently, it did a standing still backflip and broke body mounts and and front shock standoff , this thing turns those huge tires , effortlessly!!! O. M. G. !!!

 

[luke66]

holy crap! these things weigh a lot!
M A J O R powaaaaa

 

[RELIC01]

I was pretty much speechless , then I couldn't stop laughing,,,,, this is insane power , I can't believe it , I've got a hobbywing 800kv I was gunna bust out for this thing , oh H ,,E,,double hockey sticks NO !!!

 

[Tunedfrog]

That looks pretty sharp.

 

[RELIC01]

Decided not to trim the body , I ordered some hex exstentions , it needs a little more width , definitely, raising that ESC TRAY for the dual servo setup , brought up the c.g. ,plus I really believe the battery tray is to high also ,so more width is a no-brainer I geuss

 

[RELIC01]

I got the 1"hex exstentions, wasn't quite enuff , so I decided against the 2" exstentions and did some trimming, then moved the screws back 2" and put some E6000 on the open edge and braces , pretty solid stuff , didn't want to but mods r mods

 

[RELIC01]

Took the beast out for the first real run , motor heated right up just like the vesla stock motor did , Mike king at kraken was great , he sent me the 12s motor for the 8s set up , but the kraken 12s motor isn't up to the task , so I put the hobbywing 800kv in and I'll see how it does before putting in a fan , I couldn't just let that beast hang there un supported so I put in one of my ptaeneted motor supports

 

[RELIC01]

That thing is really tight fitted , took a couple different screws to get it right , but it works perfectly guys , I live three blocks from WFO RC , I told him about this three years ago and three weeks later he's making and selling the crap out of specific motor fitting braces , but I'm not seeing any KICKBACKS !!

 

[RELIC01]

Would anyone know why my hobbywing program card won't work on my new VEKTA5 E , ESC ? Some king of remarketing ploy !!????

 

[DavidB1126]
