The Kraken Vesla... Awesome rig, but the A-arms and spindles seem to be made of glass. I have broken the spindles multiple times from light rollovers. Hopefully the aluminum does the trick.

Looking good! Also, I noticed your wrap and I almost went with the dark studios wrap too. Almost. Yours looks great!

Thanks! I love the Dark Studios wrap. It is very thick, so it should hold up.
 
The Vesla has some significant design flaws that I put way too much money into trying to fix. They are great for open field bashing, but as soon as you accidentally crash, they break so easily. The whole geometry of the suspension is garbage. I sold it and bought a Losi 5ive-t 2.0
 
Also, they come with a terrible transmission. Their customer service reccomended the aluminum upgrade, so I purchased it. Turns out it was a bad design of the idler gear. It was too small and would shatter. They discontinued that transmission. I ended up paying over $250 to get their new revamped transmission with hardened gears. They just did not put the R&D into this rig that they should have.
