Kraken vekta 5 build summer body

[blackrain]

Yeah I fought with mine and just swapped orings..no harm..big oring tweaked the rotor outwards and made it not sit proper when tightening the pads screws
On the old shaft it did seem to hold the disc
This new setup oring supplied is just way too big

I was fighting with it for a while tried put the brake disk before the 0 ring then after the 0 ring and it still didn't sit right. It's good now went back to the original. Wasted a bunch of time though will need to stop here for the night

I removed the oring and used a thin 24awg wire

Throttle linkage to short for the 50 gt what did you guys use or do I need to make my own

 

[Haric]

You didn’t get the throttle linkage from rcmax when you got the engine?

Let me double check my stuff is it a strait rod or is is curved like stock

 

[Haric]

Yes it’s straight rod about 12” size 2-56
And it comes with a quick disconnect in a package that says Sullivan

 

[blackrain]

Thanks, I found it

I added a nut to the rod with loctite, looks like I’m going to have to add a return to the brake also

No springs on the throttle rod, just the brake side

Ok, good thing you told me that I will use that spring for my brake return. Now I need a antenna mount anyone have any custom ideas for a antenna mount?
