My first 1/5 build... Jeremy's Vekta

Video is up!

Sounds good, I'd try and richen the low end just a hair to bring that idle down just and i mean just a tad. Almost sounds like a lean idle but that plug looks very good without plug chopping. ... nice job on the build man, I loved the vrc unsilenced on my vekta as you are right it's reminiscent of a 2 stroke dirtbike hitting the power band.

I need to take it to a bigger space to run it wide open. That power kicked in and it got really squirrelly on that loose dirt/gravel. I almost ran it into the woods...

If you don't like how the power band kicks in get a bigger clutch spring. I like a controlled take off so typically stick with the 6 to 8k springs.

I thinks its something I gotta get used to. Ben running electric motors so long, so now I need to get a good feel for this.
I kinda like it. It makes me want to put the remote down and start maniacly yelling "muahahahahaha"

the cover isnt really necessary

Yo anyone that is thinking about buying the lexan transmission cover... Don't waste your hard money on it. Mine has already shattered and just about fallen off. It started cracking before I even fired the engine up for the first time.

Yep, it's a waste. Mine isn't broken but it's a pain to get in and take off.

 

[Ferrebee88]

How is this? About 20-30 minutes of running around and plenty of full throttle passes. Does it seem I need to richen it a bit?

 

[Rep732]

I think it should be a tad darker

Awesome! It's getting there. That thing was a blast to drive here. It handles so well on the loose dirt. Got it 3-4 feet in the air too.
