Finally got one!

[niz55]

Changes I see are,

Vertical plates do not have the red kraken lettering anymore.

Trailing arms are anodized black

Rear camber is not adjustable anymore .(option part)

No transmission plastic cover

Rear shocks do have the washer to prevent pop out

Rear diff cover plastic

Teflon tape on the shock bottoms is a must. No problems with the driveshaft being close to the engine. You should see it on my 71p?

It's taken years for them to get their act together. Think about it, when the first cam out, all you heard was doom and gloom. Now few years have gone past and they have gotten much better. Tbh it's been both painful and enjoyable to watch some of these guys getting the vekta reliable. I really wanted one when they first came out but I'm largely glad I waited to see what would happen with them. Now I would consider one again.

Or here's another idea..use your servo stud if it is the same diameter..Can't remember, but I'm sure you will upgrade to a irp servo arm anyways..it is a must have

Im sure you can something in your spares

 

[niz55]

Nothing is the spares so I had to buy a lower shock kit for dbxl.

 

[niz55]

Turned out better than the stock vekta ones.

 

[niz55]

So are you guys applying locktite to your turnbuckle jam nuts?

 

[Seandonato73]

Nope
That's what the jam nut is for

Huh???

The hitec 845 is absolutely an awesome servo for the price and performs flawless on my 5t and 5b but on the nose heavy vekta with the heavy tires it was lacking a little. So I got this beast.
