Dear a Members,
I was told these famous words, I never heared of anyone having this problem you are describing with the Vekta 5. This came from Tech. Support.
To cut to the chase, I changed out the front diff. and replaced some bearings in the transmission for general maintenance. On the bench everything rotated super smooth.
Ran it slow all good until I gave it some gas and the front end shakes radically. Possible binding in the front end at high speed. Will tear down and see if the pins in the CVD,s show any wear.
Will let you know how this history making repair go's.
Best Regards,
William E. Burrows Jr.

SUCCESS: I took apart most of my Vekta 5 searching for something that was binding.
The culprit was the rear Diff. internals, I purchased the kit and replaced the damaged parts.
All Good, that was a tough one to fix, at leased 20 hours on the bench.
Personality I would warn anyone from converting the transmission so you can run the Maxxis tires.
I think the conversion puts to much load on the drive train.

@William E Burrows Jr . I am truly sorry for everything that has happened with your Vekta. But I have learned a lot from your issues. I can honestly say by now I would have given up on it!

I am in the position of whats called the Golden Handcuffs, to much money invested, many spare parts from upgrades and the hope someday this Buggy will performed as advertised.
Call it wishful thinking.
