New Vekta TT Owner

[Slamnd60]

Back into the 1/5th scale scene with a new truck, started out when the 5B came out and got out of it but decided it was time to relive an old hobby.

Here are some pics of previous Baja Builds, will be much tamer with this one





So far we have got as far as un-boxing, if there are any suggestions or comments for the build I am all ears. Have been away from the hobby and starting this a little blind from here on out. I have found that what I used to know is a lot different know.

Welcome mate ? looks like you did some killer builds in the past!

 

[Blown67Sedan]

Very nice builds! The Kraken is an awesome piece, looking forward to your progress!

Hit @Haric up for a battery box. You wont be disappointed with it. Man makes some top shelf products ??.

 

[Slamnd60]

Here is some progress, have been very happy with the build so far, waiting on some parts to finish this up, the radio bow it horrible , thanks @Seandonato73 for the heads up on @Haric, hoping to get one order and in place there is no way the battery and receiver would even fit, let alone the kill switch and wires, was warned ahead of time so it was not a shock. Does anyone have suggestions on mounting a D845WP for a throttle brake servo? Used the full force mounts for the steering but trying to figure out the best plan of attack for the throttle and brake since I have some time, let me know what you guys think

 

[siblues]

I have dual servos mounted in my Vekta with no problems other than they are super close to the center drive shaft,I mean like a sheet of paper close.I am using the D845WP's for all three servos on mine.

 

[Slamnd60]

What hardware did you use to mount the throttle/brake servo? Did you use isolators>

 

[siblues]

I used servo spacers two on each side of the servo so that it wouldn't touch on the chassis.

 

[Slamnd60]

what size hardware did you use?
do you have any pictures of the install?

[Slamnd60]

thanks @siblues looks like you use the Full Throttle brake mount, was wondering about mounting these servos on the stock mount and what people have done

 

[Slamnd60]

Got it all done, stuffed everything in the stock radio box, waiting on getting a new one from @Haric, that wrap was a pain in the butt, not sure how long that will stay on but so far it drives great and have been very happy with it

 

[Haric]

Oh you mean this box?

 

[John Parks]

Are you the one selling that carbon body on ebay?

 

[Slamnd60]

that is the one got a 7000mah battery, old futaba receiver, kill switch, buzzer and LED cramed into a stock radio box, I am not sure what Kraken was thinking when they sized ths radio box, I am not looking forward to pulling the battery to charge it
yes, I had a body for sale on ebay, it sold once and the buyer did not pay so dealing with that, it is the one on the Baja in my first post, if you are interested send me a PM
