Hopefully a keeper

[John Parks]

On my third vekta, hopefully this one is a keeper. Got it from a friend off Facebook, for a great Deal considering its basically new with a vertigo trans, some other vertigo parts, trep tires, and servos for $1300 shipped.

I added the axis wheels and akill tires, as well as the super HD springs from kraken. Did my dual rate spring mod as well. Ordered quite a few upgrades which I'll have today as well.

Installing my alx 71p in it, just waiting on clutch parts and my pipe to be built.

Dam! that thing is lifted with those springs, looks close to the upper travel limit. I suppose the 71cc should make it drop a bit. Looks great though.

That's a steal especially with those rims looks damb good. lets see what's under the hood

BADASS!!!

Very cool John.

Man awesome looking build. What's the dual rate suspension mod toubwere talking about if you don't mind me asking thanks in advance..

 

[John Parks]

Uses the heavy springs from kraken on the bottom, and a standard spring I cut to length on the top. Primal spring spacer between them to keep them straight

 

[Rceverywhere]

Holy smokes, and you've got the adjusters most of the way down. Does keeping it up high help with the rear end bumping up?

That's not my pic, I'll get you one tonight if I remember. I gave the idea to that guy and he cut the lighter springs to short

Here's mine.

I did throw the fron arms on, very beefy arms, fit and finish is awesome. Wish he made lower arms to though.

 

[Rceverywhere]

Yes, very beefy! Look good. There is the kraken metal lower arms. I stayed plastic for now...rather break an arm than think its indestructible and end up bending ... a bunch of things. So far so good, but my driving habits have shown me I should get some in stock.

Haha my driving habits aren't the greatest, I usually don't break anything major unless I hit something

 

[John Parks]

Thanks to high voltage rc for the JCR box, thing is a work of art. Also sent me a alx Vekta.5 clutch, hopefully have it running next weekend

 

[John Parks]

Box installed, servos done, and engine mocked up, still waiting on the clutch housing from alx.

 

[John Parks]

Finally got the titanium pipe from akill, first one got lost in shipping so he had to build me another. Will say it's fit and finish were perfect.

 

[Shad0man]

Very cool John

No rust and it will make your rig faster

 

[GazooRC]

Yes that titanium pipe is
Wicked build bud!

 

[John Parks]

Thanks guys. Was definitely impressed with it

 

[John Parks]

Vekta.5 is sporting a new cage and graphics. Alx 71p, akill titanium pipe, uber rc graphics, she's ready to rock and roll!

 

[GazooRC]

Looks wicked! What upper control arm is that?
