Other than the diameter of the fronts are smaller than the rears and it's 4WD, it just looks daft. The wheels just look out of scale and the Vekta is a lump as it is, it's just more of a lump. I doubt it will work on anything but a flat surface as there's no clearance and all the weight is as the front.

The 5ive is only good for straight lines. The arms will bend the first time it takes a tumble. At least it's the first big bore I've seen where they've used a proper servo for that weight but it will still do nothing but go in a straight line. Someone brought a hybrid down to our track a few years back and it couldn't even do the first bend on the beginner track and he wouldn't jump it through fear of breaking it so wouldn't even drive it on the big boy track.

Each to their own but throwing money at something to make it perform worse in all areas except going straight on a manicured surface seems pointless to me.

I like them. The gold isn't my favorite but overall they get ?? from me. Going straight really fast can be alot of fun. Chasing more power can be addictive. I like seeing just how powerful these rigs get and look forward to seeing more. Soon people will need parachutes to slow these things down. ?

The bbig bores are getting so big that the wall in the cylinder well is as thin as tinfoil. Next step is Nakasil and compressors. Just you wait and see :LOL:

edit Coincidentally, the new heat profile will demand a hefty set of cooling fins so engines will start to look like a mushroom, or a knob. I would use a skin/redish purple color scheme if I build such an engine. Thats a promise.

That's not true whatsoever, the bigbores are using either existing capacity cylinders or custom made ones, not bored out smaller capacity cylinders and if you mean nikasil? then they are already coated in that.
