First ever big bore TAYLOR 50 Vesla.5 build!

I'd toss it up on watespace and try to recoup a few bucks...

 

[RcJunkie13]

he probably just put it in the garbage for a pic lol

Manual printed off. As per kraken instructions this is so we as their customers always have the most updated version. Lol. What a joke.

Can’t open the radio box/battery compartment without taking the body off. Taking the body off isn’t easy. If anyone else is like me, I run a Lipo 2S lipo and after I’m done I’ll take it out and storage charge it. Food for thought.

Do a quick release bro, makes it super simple and only a few seconds to mount and dismount. I can give you the part numbers for the Kraken kits to use if you want

Please! That would be great.

 

[John Parks]

Here are the part numbers Kv146, Kv128

Perfect. I ordered a few of each. There will be a way I’ll make that work. Thank you!

Every little thing counts and saves the company money. Even the packaging is not that great. The vekta.5 had an amazing packaging. I actually really miss my vekta.5

 

[Rep732]

@niz55 I understand I miss mine too

@niz55 I understand I miss mine too

If I get another one I ain't putting a big bore on it that's for sure. 34cc and VRC pipe was absolutely perfect for my needs.

 

[Rep732]

@niz55 that combo was perfect

@niz55 that combo was perfect

Still is for those of us that kept them lol.

Lol the remote! Oh my! What a waste! So far it looks good but I’m still looking for somthing to make me go wow this was so worth it. Not seeing it guys. View attachment 85240View attachment 85241View attachment 85242
I’m going to estimate 2.5-3 mm of play of the rear lower arms front to back. Awful sticker application job every screw mounting panels where there is a decal is spun out.

I’m not going to run this with the can but lots will well the exhaust blows straight onto the rear shock tower. No thought what do ever.

Shocks look good nothing leaking. Arms are bulky and look super tough.

Front uses the outer cvd’s switch out the cvd that makes sense to me. View attachment 85243View attachment 85244View attachment 85245View attachment 85246View attachment 85247View attachment 85248
The recoil on the motor has an easy starter spring incorporated into the recoil.

A standard cy/zenoah recoil is totally different.
Spark plug is a Chinese knock offView attachment 85249
No markings on any of the hardware as to a hardness and some shipping rust! View attachment 85250
No markings on the carburetter at all as to what it is

Looks like a cheep Chinese Bang-good spec! was thinking of getting one of these, not now!!

 

[Clubin]

Some kraken parts. The hubs fit perfect.

Waiting on aluminum diff cup.

 

[dirby]

Case is coming from Ddm. Not going to be able to run for a bit. -25c daytime high lol.

First startup. After adjustments of course but it sparked rite up

what air filter are you use on that motor and what vhelosety stack are you use?

 

[Clubin]

Taylor supplies it all. It’s a ram air filter.

 

[Clubin]

Rear trans change plastic to aluminum. The diff cup is slu
I um, I was expecting it to be plastic. I also got a bunch of options to do a quick disconnect cage that’ll be tomorrow.

 

[crucialRC]

Nice. The diff cups on the vekta are aluminum so I expected the same fir the vesla. Keep up the good work

 

[BashingBrian]

@Clubin.. looks like you're going to get it to work for you and it's starting to look good..
I've only just got into 1/5 but to me this new Kraken seems to be a bit of a let down it's way too expensive in my opinion for what you get out of the box..!! Kraken need to release a roller kit version..
