New vekta 5 buyer

[Relic-1]

Thanx much went through all four shocks , all four we're very loose like half off , did all four with latex tape , had to refill the leaker , that was a little tricky getting it right level and getting the air out , but all good , thanx !

More learning experience !!! Can some one pleases explain how I have lost my Killswitch control on my futaba t3pv , it no longer switches it off H E L P !!!!

I always have a drop or two of gas on the bottom of the carb , can't figure where it's coming from , got any ideas ?

 

[William E Burrows Jr]

Dear Relic,
I have never took apart a carburetor, but I can see a gasket in between the bottom plate and the carburetor housing.
Maybe that is the source of the leak. There is a large screw on the plate maybe you can tighten it?
For the cost I take the easy way out and just buy a new carburetor.
But that's just me.
Best Regards,
William E. Burrows Jr.

My kill switch failed, it happens.
I bit the bullet and purchased a new one, problem solved.

I was looking at trepodore tires for my vekta , we get a lot of snow here I was looking at those for warm winter days trying to find out if they will fit on stock vekta wheels or is it just more money than I hoped , any input is very appreciated

Dear Relic-1,
To run these tires I had to rebuild the transmission with DDM Mega Torque Gear Set KV103 and install all new bearings, install a Steering Servo Bracket Kit KV2240 for dual steering, a Kraken TS-555HV Servo KV3323 and KV602RCR Brake Upgrade Kit because of the weight. Total cost including tires and inserts $440.00.
P.S. Tires will fix on stock wheels.
I will take you though the full hardware conversation (See Pictures attached).
Best Regards,
William E. Burrows Jr.

I didn't no the steering upgrade was needed , the r.c. adventure dudes are running them with normal steering , jeeeeeeeze I hope not or I'll be devorced soon .??
Also , I'm on my third tank of gas hopeing bearings will be good also ??

The Vekta 5 package I purchased needed a controller, battery and a motor.

The new kraken vekta 5 TSCO. Would be nice to have a running comparison with the two . I know between the first vekta RTR and the lse there were a few improvements. And even more with the TSCO. Would be nice to see how the new rigs hold up. Very nice platform

My significant other wants to know what I'm up to Everytime I star googling on the yoogler , I'm running out of fake reasons , heck already been 86,Ed from the hobby shop , she's on person to person with the owner ???

Dear Relic-1,

NO WAY!!!!!
Check out the new Losi 5ive-T 2.0 (very nice stock upgrades).
