Is the kraken vecta better or the fid volts?

[RPM Redline Performance]

I have been trying figure out the machine I want to buy I am seriously leaning towards the kraken I have been waiting to pull the trigger and would like any feed back from owners here I am looking at the kraken LSE kit and want to build a bulletproof 2 stroke ripper! But I haven’t heard from anyone and there opinions or experience with them! Any info thoughts greatly appreciated!

IMO, one has to factor where does one live. If one has to deal with import taxes and access to aftermarket parts, then it would get kind of expensive.

I have a vekta 5 gas guzzler and in the US. I never paid much attention to the electric stuff nor the FID stuff. So my opinion is limited to the vehicles mentioned. My opinion is just a generalization of any hobby.

i have both a petrol/gas vekta and a petrol/gas v1 dragon hammer,
both are good,
dragon hammer is lighter than the vekta but also more likely to roll over, they are quite tippy,
the vekta is built much more robust, much chunkier on the a arms/shocks etc,
both are loads of fun but just need a different driving style between the two,

I can attest to the FID, but once you put some upgrades on the Vekta.5 it is a pretty fun rig. I built mine as a kit and have way to much $ in it. It is a different driving experience and always puts a smile on my face.

Thanks for the feedback fellas I think the choice has got to be the vekta just because i want a gas car and i want a kit to build!

Just be aware that Kraken discontinued all builders kits some time ago. They only sell RTR and Rollers. If you want a Kit to build, I think the only available option is the HPI Baja 5B.
