I wouldn't pay that tho. The DH with alloy parts everywhere is calling mine..... There's much more alloy on the DH then the Vekta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 The support the big American tuning companies are going to provide is a HUGE selling point for the Vekta, I can't see DDM, Turtle, Bartolone.., etc making anything at all for the DH, but at the end of the day it's a personal choice and I know where my money is going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not what I would want considering it's rumoured price tag. My biggest worry with the DH was that it was giong to be priced to close to the Vekta but the price is nearly £200 less then even I was expecting.

Rover Man Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Ive got to say i was a little surprised at the price of a roller. I think they got the price point wrong. Now ive not seen one in the flesh but have spoken to Mark who rates it highly but theres a few bits im not so sure will be reliable in the long run. I think it needed to be £100 less to really bring in new customers , I dont see how it can be £100 more than a Losi 5ive T roller. I really hope it works out well and we see some racing at the nationals 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you break it down there is very little plastic on the DH, yet people here are waxing lyrical the Vekta just because it has an alloy axle, And people know less about that than they do the DH, But for some reason they talk about it as if it's already available and it's built like a tank, When we know nothing about it really. I think for what the DH comes with its fantastic value. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mond Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I think the roller price is pretty reasonable considering what you get for the money. Only concern would be the non standard wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can fit standard 24mm wheel hexes on the DH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 HBF seems at least 5x worse than Traxxas. Certainly language has to be moderated in public in view of the potential audience but a forum is a place for discussion, where opinions both for and against may be aired.... that's the theory anyway!!
