Covid vekta build

[John Parks]

So since Z was whining about me doing a build thread I gave in. I snagged it from @JT3 on here and he gave me a great deal I couldn't pass up. He did a good job putting it all together and setting it up, but as you guys know from his thread he had a few issues his last outing. No biggie, nothing major. He told me everything that was wrong, and was honest. Awesome seller, gave me a ton of stuff with it also.

Anyways when I got it, had the rcmax 50gt installed, vertigo trans, vertigo braces, and a few other small upgrades. So I started on the hunt for upgrades and managed to score a bunch from Facebook?. Sold the 50gt setup and bought a buddies rcmax 71, ordered the new samba pipe to go with it. Pics progress from when I first got it, to now. Anyways onto the pics

Also got:
All irp turnbuckles, trailing arms, servo arm etc.
Hilantronics 8000 steering servo
Hitec d845wp throttle servo
New panels and a joker wrap

I take it the Vekta has a stronger driveline than the losi since you guys are dropping big engines in them with no issues?

Yea, they are a bit stronger. Still need the upgraded cvd and the vertigo trans though if your running big power.

That's nice I thought only the 4wd mcd could take that power so vekta also.

They can, but they still need some upgrades

Got some of the pieces in for the vekta, hilantronics 8000 servo is In. Pretty tight fit, a cunt hair bigger and it wouldn't fit without modifications. Vertigo quick release all around also which makes life so much easier with this cage. Tank installed with the quick release to

Got the cage cut, more than I wanted to cut out but oh well. Waiting for my pipe, samba is delayed so might be a week or 2.
