Hopefully a KV5TT BUILD !!

[RELIC01]

I've been getting e mails from kraken RC since my firing as a customer a few months ago , over my complaints on my brand new $450 12s ESC going out on first run , they basically told me to get lost and no help what so ever , now I'm getting emails on my values as a customer and stuff , just for shysters n giggles I ordered the kit version of the KV5TT to see if I would be turned down ,and it's what I have wanted for a long time is a kit of this truck , so far no cancellations, but i wouldn't be surprised if that mike king guy pulls the rug out at the last minute , or maybe hes moved on to destroy the future of another company , cuz DAMIT , i did norhing wrong , and criticism is part of the learning curve , they were great to me until I got irritated over $450 lost , and who wouldn't! For crap sakes ,really made no scene at all , so MAAAAAYBE this is the start of a cool build thread , we shall see , I'm planning on the Taylor reed 35 for this truck , we shall watch for the fall out , they are shipped sometime in october

How exactly does one get fired as a customer?

If their company cost you $450, why would you throw any more money at them?

Sorry that's the experience you had with Kraken support. I had some issues when building my Vekta.5 (ring gears machined wrong) and they were very helpful and got them replaced quickly. I agree that building a TT would be awesome! I have a Vesla SBK to start building here soon when it gets off that cargo ship.

I've always been a kraken fan since there existence, and that truck is the one I've always wanted , specially kit version , which has never been available, but yes what they did to me made no sense at all , I was even thinking bout posting our communications , just to see if I'm seeing it wrong , I've showed it to several people , and they always respond with ,,,, what the H E double hockey sticks ? They were great till that point for sure , it's the truck I've wanted , so I put myself out on the proverbial limb I guess , but it's only money , and my health is where I concern myself these days , I'm just another kid playing with toys , hopefully I'll be able to do the build thread , and OH YA ! I GET TO PAINT IT GREEN !!!

 

[ferrebee88]

Hey now, these aren't toys... no matter how much my wife tries to convince me they are. They are fined tuned machines!

 

[ferrebee88]

Did you order the gas or electric kit? I built a Vekta.5 gas and have a Vesla.5 Gas kit on the way. I am contemplating ordering the TT electric builders kit.

 

[RELIC01]

I got the gas kit ,I have all there other toys

I wish I had a gas powered rc. Fine tuned machine.

 

[RELIC01]

They are unbelievable , when tuned right , I'm no master at that but I go to stock setting, then a 1/8 turn in on the low , and half that on the high , it seems to work real well on all my Taylor stuff

 

[thatcraig]

That's pretty cool what is Taylor stuff?

That's pretty cool what is Taylor stuff?

"Taylor Stuff" generally refers to high-performance components, particularly engines, produced by Taylor RC (formerly known as RCMAX). Taylor RC is well-known in the RC community for their "big bore" engines, which are highly sought after for their power and durability in large-scale RC vehicles.

These engines range from 40cc to over 80cc, and they are designed to significantly boost the performance of 1/5 scale gassers like the Losi 5T, HPI Baja, and Kraken Vekta. Taylor RC also offers a variety of custom upgrades and anodizing options

A man after my own heart...

That's prolly gunna catch on quickly !!! Judas priest !!!!! Taylor prices just went waaaaaay up !! I'm planning on the trophy truck that's shipped in no ember to be Taylor powered , but I don't know now , I own three Taylor engines , and there prices have increased hundreds of dollars , WOW , maybe war has something to do with it ?? But I'm rethinking this build now

 

[RELIC01]

I got a e mail yesterday,, saying how two of the kvtt trucks were available , that were not before , well that's the one I ordered , and during my firing of me as a customer , they cancelled my orders I had at the time including that truck , it's been a few months since , so I went ahead and tried to change my order from the trophy truck kit to the rockstar ultra trophy truck , same guy that fired me , responded and it looks like I've been re hired , he asked several questions and it looks like I'll get my request to go through , so I'll be putting a 12s hobbywing system in the thing , so a save ngs of rather having to do the Taylor engine thing , the 12s deal is like $400 , compared to the Taylor deal being like $800 , and it says rockstar on it !!! Neet ! Even though I will not ever drink the poison

 

[RELIC01]

And here we are in what is supposed to be the delivery month of the kraken mother load of trucks everybody paid for back in August , well let's see if the ship can even break port without being banned from leaving , sunk by a missile from some foreign land with a lunatic mind for a leader or highjacked by some other military action some country feels there not respected enuff or didn't get there steak dinner and the only solution is to seek complete sovereignty or nuke the whole planet for it , anyways ,,,,,,,,,the krakens are coming !!! ,,, the krakens are coming!!! ,,,,,,

 

[RELIC01]

Getting very close to delivery time for the new Karen trophy truck , unless it's been sunk or highjacked , I'm seeing that slipper gearing system is replaceable with a derect drive gearing , anybody familiar with this swap , THANX !

 

[RELIC01]

Got the e mail ,, the boat has arrived in Cali , won't be long now !!

 

[RELIC01]

FINNALLY !!!! that was waaaaaay to long to make a kid wait !!! Since August actually it was way before that I ordered it and was soonly fired as a customer and all my orders were cancelled and refunded all for very valid points I had in a e mail to them somehow I hurt there feelers but was then offered it again months later all kinds of plans for this thing film at 11
