Crucial Kraken Vekta.5

I think they look the best on the VEKTA

100%

Honestly, the vekta is the best looking stock 1/5 period ? imo of course. Along with the dragon hammee. And the solid rear axle gives me a hard on ???

So reading through the thread from what I can tell you need
Battery box
Upgraded center rear shaft because the pin comes loose or for bigger power
Front aluminum diff case for bigger power
Vertigo transmission wasn’t sure if this was needed didn’t you switch back to stock transmission ?
The rear tie rod ends plastic stretches?
If you go bigger than Rcmax 50gt you need to cut cage
All the other rc max stuff is just bling

I've heard of the bearings going bad in the transmission bit never had that happen to me...yet. Yes I will be running the stock trans but with alx pinion and alx middle gear. Also still has the stock bearings in them cause I wanna see if they will hold up. Upgrade the rear driveshaft not the center one. ?Rear tie rod ends. I don't remember that one.

Hell yeah?

Big blocks are a bit of a pita. No choke or primer bulb. I would've used up most of my 60 second allowance if I showed that? I'll get it for ya in one of my full vids. I've showed it in my other vids tho

Yeah once I thought about it I just put my hand over the filter then pushed it tight to the velocity stack and she started right up. Prior to that I had a slight pullstart mishap? The string cut on the cage that I snipped to allow the head to fit. I was pissed at myself.
