Kraken vekta 5 build summer body

[chrismen]

Oh man what a mess! Guess I need a nitro in my garage for such instances too. Did the clutch housing break on the left side?!

This brings me to my issue of the day. Went for sand dune bashing with my vekta. Unfortunately the clutch got stuck very early. Using the turtle snapper clutch, guess anti seize would help me out. But is there any good solution to prevent sand getting into the clutch? For Bajas there is a nice housing solution. But for vekta? Any ideas or thoughts? Even T90 doesn't close it entirely.

Maybe going back to full steel clutch shoes?

Your feedback is highly appreciated!

No clutch housing didn’t break, as far as sand getting in the clutch I don’t think there is anything made for the vekta to prevent that or seal up that area.

I had the t90 and I thought it was fully enclosed Where is it open?

I picked up a wj71 carb to put on the vekta to replace my 990 didn't realize what a beast of a carb the wj71 was compared to the 990 thought it was a direct swap gaskets and all. Now I need to get a order in for the isolated, gaskets and intake manifold

Yep, it needs a complete change over. Also can't remember if your body is cut, but it will need to be for the wj71 carb

So it will stick out more than the 990

Yes

 

[blackrain]

Yes

If your talking about cutting the side of the cage I did that already

Don't tell me it goes through the side panels not sure I'm going to like that.

Think the filter adapter sits just shy of flush if I'm not mistaken.

Ok, tired of beating my self up been having some starting issues. It started with my 990 since I changed the spark plug cap do to a roll over. Since I changed the spark plug cap spark is very small you don't even fell a little shock like you use too. I figured some spark should still fire but won't. Put on a different carb wj71 same issue all fuel lines and filter are good. Even hooked it up to a different gas tank. No pop even when I set the choke. So I feel it's this new cap why is the spark so tiny and weak since I haven't even touched the ignition coil?

 

[Seandonato73]

Prolly don't have the little metal adapter for the plug on the wire right.

Ya, the way the caps are you have to remove the terminal off of the top of the spark plug for the spark plug cap to go on

I've screwed it up getting it stuck back on a few times, only thing I can think of, being it's really the only thing in the ignition system that you messed with.

I decided to just get another ignition system since I have been messing with it now the spark is non existence.

Well I must say I have been enjoying the problem solving. I got her to start but she runs and cuts off. I found my issue the kill switch seem to cut off the car after start. I noticed after she cuts off I check for spark there is none. I physically have to turn the car off then on again for spark to come back
I was wondering on all my killer bees I only run the Buzzer no light would the light have indacted this?

Looks like the killswitch wasn't pushed down all the way into the receiver. Will test tomorrow and see what's up. Probably why it would cut off one I got her going from vibration

 

[blackrain]

Took her out today she running good again, then it happened the screws that mount the throttle servo came loose and the throttle arm got stuck behind the side rail in full throttle. Steering went dead but the kill switch saved me.
Looks like my hilantronics is dead won't power on this servo is new barley any tanks on the damb thing never had a servo crap out that fast.

I junked all my hilantronics servos for this reason. Expensive, and poop for warranty. Went to agfrc and have yet to have an issue.


Mine just went dead, then wanted $70 to fix, literally had less than 10 minutes on them.
