New Vekta owner!

Hey what are the three extra tabs for on the rear opening behind the roof panel?There are a three bolt holes for the body and then there are three tabs that follow the roof contour that sort of lay underneath with square looking holes in them?

 

[crucialRC]

This what you talking about?

 

[siblues]

Thank you good sir that is exactly what I was looking for.

Well David from Rcwraps has decided to wrap the Vekta for me and redo the wrap.He is a super cool guy to deal with and from NY so it's nice to have a East Coast option.His site is new so it will be fully operational soon.I can't wait to get it back from him.I will be sending it out this week probably Thursday or Friday.His prices are really good too.

I am slacking right now I haven't even sent out the body to get wrapped yet but I have some parts in the mail nothing big.I am trying to make up my mind on going with a dual steering servo or staying with a single 845.

Installing the front and rear windshields from Fullforce and still waiting on my lightbar.The damn lightbar has been stuck in customs for 20 plus days.I am also waiting on the front upper billet arms and dual servo ,mounts they should be here tomorrow and then I just have to hold tight for the body.I may say screw it and break it in to have something to do.Here are two pics of the windshields

Here are a couple pics of the dual servo set up I received today and the progress installing it so far.

Feken shinnnnnnnnyyyyyy ?

I forgot I had a bag of turnbuckles laying around here so I put two together but does anyone have a vid on how to properly set up a dual sterring servo set up.Hey Crucial I think you posted one up the other day if you still have it post it in here thanks.

Here are the two links I put together

Nah never made a dual steering servo setup video. I use a Y harness and MTXL type servo horns. Nothing spectacular there?

Id go duel. My mtxl with stock losi servos turns way tughter than my dbxl single 845. Its a drastic improvement imo

I could have sworn you linked a dual setup in someones thread on here.The video wasn't yours though.

I received my upper arms in the mail a little while ago and started the de-ano process.I hate the way all these companies anodize their parts they are horrible.The coating is really thick in some areas and extremely thin in others.I may just toss them in a tumbler and see what happens.My hands and arms are killing me right now and I have quite a way to go but the ball ends/hein joints aren't here yet so I have a couple of days before they get here to finish.

don't put them in a tumble the hinge pin hole will get enlarged and you'll screw your arms???

Yeah I may put a bolt through there with a washer and nut on the other end to protect the holes.I was thinking maybe a little muriatic acid would work?

 

[Seandonato73]

That will etch the fek outa the aluminium.

 

[siblues]

Yeah I may just blast the fek out of them and plug up the holes.I am not looking for a mirror polish just a nice raw finish.I plan on beating the crap out of this tank not having a shelf queen.I do like things to look nice though.

 

[Seandonato73]

That should give a nice satin/ matte finish

The vekta looks like school bus. They are heavy. But cheaper. The tamiyas are better quality.

Tlr 5T is the minimum

Thanks for your unwanted opinion
