scatteh316 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Looks wise the FID gets my vote I think..... I also prefer the look of the cage on the Dragon Hammer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I'm gonna agree with Chewie, it needs bigger wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Better..... Not right tho.... A wise decision, IMHO AJ, the FID will be a poor second.... Now, go find some proper wheels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Proline Trenchers and MCD 190's should be a fair bit bigger, that's it the Vekta wheels are 180mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatteh316 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) I love how people are instantly writing the FID off without 1. Even owning one and 2. Because of where in the world it comes from. Such narrow mindedness. There's much more information and videos to show how it holds up under use and so far it coming across as being a strong RC, where's the real world usage videos of the Vetka that people have seen to be able to say it's better then the Dragon Hammer?

.AJ. Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) Plz don't turn this thread into a argument! Nothing anyone one can say will sway me from the Kraken, tbh I couldn't give a toss about the DH Edited January 16, 2016 by .AJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Seconded Scale wheels and boots, they simply don't exist for 1/5th....wonder if something scale will actually hit the market? Making smaller rims and beadlocks I would think is relatively simple, making tyres that have bigger sidewalls but retain rigidity, without increased weight, I can see being more tricky. I really like the concept, despite a return to Ford Anglia rear suspension, but until 'someone' sorts some boots out, I'm out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggles Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I'm no expert, but why the solid rear axle? I thought independent rear suspension was better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I wonder how much a set of Vanquish or Mayhem beadlocks in 1/5+ size would cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 The solid rear axle looks da bomb when in action! Why the negativity towards FID? Educate me, perlease! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean-vrs Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 Hpi really do need to release something, and not just another rehash of the savage or baja platform, I think losi still have all bases covered with the 5ive and dbxl 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
