@mrbullz may want to consider this before using the LC4 in the new Hpi he got

Yes, unless a long reach type was what was in it to begin with, I’d check that.

I wanted a camera system for practice and races and decided to give the Akaso a try.

Will not be long before GoPro goes after them for copyright infringement; maybe even trademark infringement.

Good luck. It's a Chinese brand. They don't have copywrite infringement laws in China. They are free to do as they please. And Akaso has been copying gopros for a long time.

You know you're a true RCer when your Amain order is out for delivery and you don't remember what's in the box. I can tell you there's a Jconcepts Kraton body and a can of paint, but what else I don't know? I'll find out when I open the box, kind of like Christmas.

So I went to ddm and found a upgraded version of the rod and shock stops , they were on asle !!! $25 fix , but JEEEEEZE , kraken biting my backside again , can't believe it a steel screw into a aluminum rod and the screw breaks !? Wow !

Any time you screw any other metal into aluminum, it will corrode. Did they have loctite on the screws? Try heating the shaft a little bit firstnext time before removing the screws and see if that is what they did.

 

[RELIC01]

Ya , loctite to the moon on the piece I got out ,there's no reason for loctite there really but jeeeeze I have had kraken products since they began I've been fired as a customer , but I won't say ANYTHING that's not TRUE, I just keep having issues , and for them to tell me to basically
