ThanksGuess you haven't seen the Dragon Hammer. Yes, quality parts.

Dragon hammer looks like a vekta clone.Guess you haven't seen the Dragon Hammer. Yes, quality parts.
Actually, the only thing similar is the solid rear axle and placement of the gas tank. Everything else is quite different...including the quality of parts used.Dragon hammer looks like a vekta clone.
Only way I know of is Ebay. I thought about getting one instead of the Kraken. More support here for the Kraken, so I went that route.I'd get one but ....a dragon hammer....alixpress is the only way to get one. in the UK there is "UK rc models" think that's what they called. Not sure about the US supplier?
Come on and move to the US brah. Do it for the RCsGood move i have 00000 support for either?
yeah doug, do it, u wontCome on and move to the US brah. Do it for the RCs
Then how does turtle racing, losi tlr and some of the more expensive stuff compare.Fid ....arearc...hr....gpm...ect ect..tbh there all the same give or take a bit of diamond cut edges...logos ect?
Here the RC stores will be happy to take one home for you for a reasonable fee. It becomes a little more expensive but the warranty is suddenly worth the paper its written on and you don't have to send it back to Taiwan or China for a fix. No such thing in the UK?I'd get one but ....a dragon hammer....alixpress is the only way to get one. in the UK there is "UK rc models" think that's what they called. Not sure about the US supplier?
It's also good. You all know that I don't trust a Chinese company before it has proven itself due to the Chinese national character (or lack thereof). Not unless they have a western/non communist owner who send in a neckbreather to the factory to keep checks and balances in order. This is usually my sole criterion before I throw down cash because all of it is made in China. Taiwan if you're lucky, they have a mindset regarding trade that are closer to what we expect. Chinese people don't buy chinese products and the few that do are looked down upon. They know the truth about what they are doing. There is a German brand which name keep escaping me. Very popular with racers here ,pretty costly because its made in Germany from top shelf materials. I will get back to you on that one.Then how does turtle racing, losi tlr and some of the more expensive stuff compare.
Lol sure I would move in a flash if it where possible but.........green card?Come on and move to the US brah. Do it for the RCs
Which parts are of higher quality?Actually, the only thing similar is the solid rear axle and placement of the gas tank. Everything else is quite different...including the quality of parts used.
All of the aluminum parts are upgrades for the V.5. Hubs, front and rear chassis braces, steering top mount, rear upper and lower trailing arms, split center diff design, aluminum diffs, aluminum shocks with boots, aluminum clutch carrier, etc. etc. Just looks to me like an all round better quality of parts. Now, a lot of the "standard" DH parts can be similarly purchased for the V.5, but at a large expense. And in fact will need to be purchased because some of the standard V.5 parts will just not hold up to bashing.Which parts are of higher quality?
Yeah I agree, it sucks. Even tho I live in the US and we get most of the stuff, the UK/Europe get some nice ass stuff. Like for say bonehead RC, only in UK. I guess we can't have everything like I said. Kinda feel bad for You guys in Africa and places like that, can't get nothin without redicullous postageI think its a shame we have to pick and choose what we go for depending on where we live it would be so sweet if we could have acsses to what ever rc rig and the parts we want/need. Oh well guess we cant have everthing
