Here is the shopping list that I have come up with for Vetka.5. essentials based on the threads I have gone through. Please let me know if I am missing anything important. Also, I plan on running the trepador tires. Any advice on gearing? Also, for durability, would it be best to get the ESP modified 34cc or the modified ported 34cc? I will not be abusing this rig.

Kraken Vekta LSE kit $1200
kv153 - Vertigo Vekta.5 Clutch Carrier Unit $260
kv168 - Vertigo Vekta.5/TT Rear Carrier Plate w/Bearings $80
kv167 - Vertigo Vekta.5 Trans. Upper Brace w/Bearing $25
Vertigo gear set $45
KV6109 - Kraken RC Maxxis Trepadors Tires $100
KV6110 - Kraken Tire Inserts for Trepadors Tires $100
kv153 17/24 - Vertigo Vekta.5 17/24 Gear Set $45
ESP Modified Zenoah "G340RC" 34.02cc 4-Bolt Engine - Complete with Clutch - bb128x $400
RCR Brake Upgrade Kit $30
Victory tuned pipe $220
LIPO battery $75
Servos $250

Total thus far: $3100 after tax

Them big trepadore tires look sweet but will be tough on your rig. I believe their 220mm tall so if you are getting the vertigo trans I suggest starting with the 17t. Don't run the big gear with your car or it will destroy the clutch.

Go with the ported 34cc.

What is the benefit of going with the ported vs the modified 34cc?

Ill just save a couple hundred up front and skip the trepador tires.
 
Yea don't get the treps and I agree with getting the aluminum front diff housing as mine oy lasted a few runs before the bearings started to walk in the housing
