Vekta.5 lse stock’ish build

[Mick Boomer]

Home early from work. Waiting on fedex to deliver V5 kit. I have all my extra parts for entire build already. I plan on this being a full build over this weekend.
Going to keep it pretty stockish. Went with the ported Esp G320 heart and a single hilantronics 70180D for the steering servo.
I am not a “going for all the bling” kinda guy. I like to keep builds simple but do needed mods-upgrades when necessary.
I do plan on installing a gt40 in the future so im keeping this in mind building foreword from here.
Something is about to start happening....?

The forum has been taken over by Vektas and big bores. Love it ?

TBH I don't really like the Vekta .5, its mostly just the back, I do like the TT tho

For the last couple years I really wasnt interested in a vekta either.
Until recently I got the itch for one.. Weird but rc will do that to you LOL. I got bit...

Hey mic where did you get the kraken servo? Better pricing than say a savox or any other similar servo? Waiting on my vekta 5 on Wednesday

Got it on here from a member. It was a direct pull off of a new rtr kit..Using it for throttle-brake.. The specs look good. The newer versions of kraken servo is updated to a 15t horn fyi.

I guess i will find out. I am using a spectrum on this build??‍

 

[Rep732]

Hopefully it works but thats coming right from kraken website

 

[Mick Boomer]

Omg I just saw that too??‍??‍.? Oh well guess Ill head to the hobby shop and see if they have a futaba 4pm?

 

[Rep732]

Atleast you didn't find out the hard way and the servo freaks out when you drive the rig

I have been running my stock kraken throttle servo with spektrum reciever and kill switch just fine without a single problem.

 

[RcJunkie13]

I don’t understand why it would not work

 

[Rep732]

No clue just going off what kraken says on their website

 

[Mick Boomer]

I don't know but Ive been needing a reason to upgrade from my 10 yr old dx3c and it just happened..

Sanwa is the way to go.

Billet diff housing installed. The stock plastic one sucks! Stock one looked warped.
TR steering link installed. Nothing wrong with the stock link really. Stock has bushings. Tr has bearings. Steering is buttery smooth now.
