KRAKEN VEKTA 5 gets a HEART! 32cc GAS POWERED RACE MACHiNE | RC ADVENTURES

Everett and I are back at it again, whipping this amazing Kraken Vekta 5 into shape. Almost all of the parts have arrived and we can make some real progress towards completing the build. For those who are just joining us - this is a 4WD 1.5th scale Gas Powered Racing Truck. For more information about the Vekta 5 here is a link to the Kraken Site:
If you are interested in purchasing a Vekta 5, or some of the awesome upgrades you see in this film - we get most our 1/5 scale gear from Dave's Discount Motors (aka DDM Racing): - including those nifty Hex bits for our drills. Daves has a huge inventory of RC parts that are hard to find, and everything you need for your RC tool box.
For more information on the ZENOAH G320RC 32.cc Bartolone Kraken Mod Engine for the VEKTA.5 :
A note from the Kraken site "The goal of this project is to optimize the overall power band while maintaining the same light weight of the stock motor. Coupled with Bartolone tuned pipe which we recommend for this motor, you will have a beast of a motor suitable to be called the KRAKEN MOD. Motor is plug and play for the VEKTA.5 and is the perfect companion for the LSE Kit or the ARTR non engine version."

Our friend Paul from "IMMERSiON DESiGN INC" was the designer and artist of my Vekta 5 Wrap. He did an excellent job on the colors and use of the brushed aluminum. The wrap is beautiful when paired with this Vekta 5 solid aluminum axles and the DDM wheels this entire rig really comes together. Visit Paul on his Facebook at:
