Rep kraken 5 build

[Rep732]

So ill make this the fastest build thread ever here . Im treating this as when I bought the losi 5 2.0 buy it stock and build it up from there. So the kit arrived yesterday and I did about 6 hours yesterday and roughly 6 hours today. Im waiting for my ddm order to show up Friday to install the engine and im placing an order tonite for servos and picking up a receiver from my buddy at his hobby shop tomorrow.. ddm dom pipe and the esp 34cc race ported engine i bought back from sean..should be a good start and patiently waiting for @Haric and his exquisite battery box to be machined

building kits is awesome, I spent a couple days building my L5b, and I mean like full days. Nice work

 

[Rep732]

Thanks @RcJunkie13 I actually took off from work so I could build this. My boss goes your really taking off for an rc car? I said absolutely you wouldn't understand...took 3 days off ?‍

Man are you guys buying or breeding these things? They’re popping up all over the place! Nice job Rep.??

 

[Rep732]

Thanks @spents @Bizzer we have an underground breeding program and so far the cloning has gone well other than they just can't seem to get 2 nuts to grow in the box ?‍

Too bad we couldnt get the female dog to produce more then one per breed cycle. We're working on that, and are looking at cross breeding with others to come up with stronger leaner pups. Considering letting her shack up with the bull dog next door.

I messed up mine also because I was trying to lay it down like a sticker. I noticed in the videos they use soap and water so you can lay it down and move it around to line it up.

Ahhh makes sense. Those decals really don't let go either once their down
