Vekta LSE build

[peterj59]

Well i am in the middle of building my LSE pro kit i ordered from ddm black friday, unbelievable deal i must add
I ordered all the upgrades, lots and lots of money, well this is the thing, i finished building the T90 kit and accidentally saw there is a binding issue and a fix, the fix is free of charge from kraken and constitutes 2 spacers in between the bearing and the pinion gear. Well i have time because of covid-19 wouldnt you know it i have to wait on the spacers, I mean come on give me a break

That is insane when you think about it. Its hard to see almost 5k in value on a rc car. At least for me it is. Imho this hobby's greatest downfall is the steep costs. For 5k I expect to be able to ride ON my new purchase.

I've bought full size vehicles for less and drove them the same day I bought them.

Psst, that's nothing. Wait till you decide the 34 isn't enough and you go big bore? Welcome to LSF!

Can't wait to see the pics.The more Vekta owners on here the better.

 

[peterj59]

well, I am trying to mount the zenoah 32cc esp ported engine to my T90 but for some reason it is not fitting, the T90 comes with a engine mount the mount has 4 holes 2 holes to secure the mount to the chassis from underneath and 2 holes to mount the fan shroud to the mount which is already mounted to chassis. Anyone have experience with this issues?

 

[crucialRC]

?T90 with a 32 is a bit overkill but I used the mount without problems on my 65. Here are some pics of how mines mounted. When I ordered mine they asked if I was going big bore. Not sure if that meant which spacer to use or not. Don't forget about your free spacers to stop binding.

thanks for the info, not sure why my t90 came w/o instructions
can you send me the pdf of those instructions

I don't have a pdf. It's only 1 page, front and back I believe. You may be able to find the pdf online or I can post the photos of them.

 

[peterj59]

ok thanks
Continuing with my build, I found one of my original Baja 5b 26cc CY fan shrouds and it bolted right up to the T90 also replaced the Zenoah clutch plate with CY clutch plate to prevent binding when using new 32cc Zenoah, see how to remove and install clutch on Zenoah DDM YOUTUBE
Apparently the Zenoah clutch plate is much thicker which causes the clutch shoes to push against the bell.
