Kraken KV5TT Build

[siblues]

Nice work Port truck looks insane

Couldn't you use a small aluminum tube that could slide over the CVD with two set screw holes and use the set screws to keep the aluminum tube over the pin location?I think that is an easy fix.

Yes sir! ??can't wait for to get this plastic junk battery box off here and clean up this electrical and fuel lines with shrinkwrap and protective looms. I have wires stuffed so tight in it its a joke/risk damaging your already brittle wiring and killer bee setup.
I personally wish there were mini snap rings on each end and the set screw and beef up a bit more and also needs to be able to handle that 53hp output of the wmdz kit..I've been looking into this past couple weeks..Noone wants to produce custom shafts for rcs, there must be a clause and I've left out brands in emails stating it was for a custom build including and diameter hp application etc, so if anyone's got a custom driveshaft guy? ?
@siblues thanks brother???, never thought I'd go this far with this truck but I do it again, but wait for this outlaw build?

That's not suprising you cant get anyone to custom make you shafts. Too much liability for too little to no return.

Sorry about the delay bro! Horizon duratrax metallic black, and same brand black covercoat as a backer, red is translucent and Testors brand.still need to back my red lenses in gold and then back it in black so you don't see the red from the inside on the taillights, just been stroking it on taking the lexan back off again??

Thanks much appreciated

Grabbed the Galante limiter straps, a matching leash and another new rcmax hex bit set from Detroit(love these). Definitely a bit of a pain to install and adjust for being nylon straps with buckles. But they should do the job and they match the outerwears red so they look the part as well, run vids tomorrow, nice weather after today for a week. Finally is our spring here???

Time for my tranny gear swap and tranny mod, thought I had the 17/24 installed proper. @Haric s got it going on, here's a little untuned launch clip on the 17s We're flippin gears and going 24/17, now for some SPEED runs! Gonna rig up the GPS on the gopro so we all get an approximate speed.

Since everyone's playing with their trans, there's the 24/17t gear flop fkr high speed. The Vertigo trans will need to be dremeled here

Mike taylor originally told me for bashing 19/22 is ideal. But since i had already purchased the t90 and not vertigo i was stuck with the gearing from kraken unfortunately. Now i don't even think kraken offers the 24/17 gearing.

 

[PortCityRC]

I think you can look into the ddm speed gears..I'm pretty sure these are only for vertigo units
I was just looking at ddm 21/19 is all they offer and is gonna be your best for speed out of your t90 unit, if you go vertigo your options open up

 

[Haric]

Sell it and get a vertigo trans

 

[Seandonato73]

Sell it and get a vertigo trans

Problem is most guys are going to the vertigo trans so the t90 is worthless imo. Shame really, it is a nice piece, but we have a clear winner in the trans market and it's not the t90.....

 

[Braap2smoke]

Mybad i meant 22/19 gears is what was recommended. 19/22 is stock. The t90 looks great and functions great. Just gearing options are poor. Ill keep mine.

 

[PortCityRC]

Yeah baby, @Haric box just showed!??? Thanks my man, just amazing bro

 

[Z.hb71]

Seems like it's raining haric boxes today ?

 

[PortCityRC]
