Rep kraken 5 build

[niz55]

Placed a detroit order for the hilantronics 8000 servo, irp steering link and an rc max rear diff cover ?

Pretty soon will see a FS thread..

Selling 5T 2.0 to buy parts for the vekta. ?

 

[Rep732]

Never @niz55 I love my 2.0... had a thought of selling when working on the harley but I made it work

Had to cut and solder the on and off switch because the reciever side wasn't long enough to reach where I wanted the reciever to be. The losi 2.0 battery fits nicely in there ?

Moving fast! Very nice

 

[Rep732]

Thanks John .....the body was a little bare at the moment so im improvising with some of the decals

Engine is installed. I did the exact same thing that @jarred197 did and broke the nipple off the top part of the carb... its Monday ive been waiting to put the engine and got flustered. Also what pissed me off is the dom pipe. Not too sure wtf is going in here but the radio antenna hits the pipe ?‍ ?‍

You can either shorten or lengthen the antenna and attach to the rear upright.

Thanks crucial . I did look at the stock photo on ddm and theirs is very short. I was trying to get the most height out of the antenna. I was thinking of putting a smooth bend in it

No problem. I had mine like that too but can't find the pics.

 

[Rep732]

Did this ?‍ ...don't like it gunna do a single angled bend. Also this clutch bell or something is giving me hell right now the truck won't roll without grabbing the clutch bell and dragging to the point its partially spinning the engine till it hits compression....I tried to adjust the engine but the bolts through the trans kinda just lock it in place ?‍

 

[niz55]

Nice build rep. You do a very clean job on your rigs.

 

[Seandonato73]

Take the engine back out rep, that's not right. May have to fond a spacer to replace that goofy washer, shouldn't wobble that much

 

[Rep732]

The clutch bolts are contacting the weld of all things inside the clutch bell

 

[Seandonato73]

Think someone else had that same issue as well. Cant remember who ?

 

[Rep732]

@Haric and I believe @niz55

 

[niz55]

Mine also wobbles but never had a problem with the clutch bolts contacting inside of the bell.

 

[spents]

looking nice rep ,
it is a shame about the niggly bits, the bell, the daft place for the antenna etc etc,
but still all easy fixes

 

[Rep732]

Thanks spents. I called ddm and Steve is sending me a cy clutch holder and a cy housing

 

[niz55]

so are you going to run it with the wobble?

 

[Rep732]

He won't send a new clutch bell or offer an alternative ?‍
