RELEASE THE KRAKEN! GiANT VEKTA 5 1500 RACE TRUCK - 32cc Gas Powered Machine - BRAP! | RC ADVENTURES

WOO HOO! We are excited to to get the Vekta 5 out out for it's first rip! First we must complete a few final checks - and dial it in on the transmitter/radio setup. We also wanted to show how to mix oil and gas, for those who have never seen it before - or are unsure of the container/mix bottle we use. We also cover the type of 2-stroke motor oil we want for efficient gasoline burning and engine lubrication.
Tighten the wheel nuts? Check! Mixed Fuel? Check! Added thread-lock every where we can? YES! Time to start up the Bartolone Racing - Kraken Mod 32cc Gas powered engine - and let this truck roar for the first time! We are taking it easy in the first few minutes of start up (and off camera ran the truck around for 3/4 of a tank on slow throttle) to help break in the engine. Right from the beginning.. this engine wanted to rippppp across the grass - and it sure was hard to maintain the URGE TO BLAST IT WiDE OPEN.. haha! But, as we progress in the film.. you will see the engine really start to open up. I can hardly wait to get a few tanks of fuel through this engine - to really see what it can do!
We ran into a few minor problems with the truck - it seems as though some of the first trucks had some soft plastics - and heck, we even broke an A arm in the film with very little force - but like mentioned during the video - this kinda weight/speed hurdling around a track for the first time will certainly divulge any issues that may have been caused during assembly at the factory. Regardless - we will have a new set of arms on this rig very soon - and look forward to running this truck all season. I think I have a new favourite 1/5th scale Monster truck.. and its the Vekta 5! Haha :)
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.

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:
