Noj Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Well, the change in consumer laws protects you on either model, should they turn out to be unreliable....just take 'em back for a full refund! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feedtheinferno Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I wonder what the landed UK price will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 £1300-1500 for the version without a engine I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 They will be fine for me, I'll only be using the T/B one anyway..... Kraken were clever enough to pre drill the chassis to work with Turtle Racing servo mounts and I ask them if the Killer RC 4s lipo would fit and they said it fits straight in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Here you can see the standard mounts for the steering servo, you can also see the extra holes in the chassis for the TR mounts They also design the servo tray so you can run a dual servo set up, so using the stock servos will give 100kg of torque And with the "Finger Snapper" fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HYPER-BOY Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I cannot wait for the Vekta.. Going to be epic, the only downside is I'll be bashing it on my own as no one I know goes 5th scaling no more round 'ere. Just got to decide on engine I suppose..

Rover Man Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 The only thing putting me off is the width of the rear axle. Need to see one in the flesh as from the few pics about it looks very wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Think that comes from the wheels looking a bit small, maybe a set of Baja rears on the back might balance the look a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCbutcher Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Stick some racing kart wheels on it lol. I know I know they're only slicks. :/ It's definitely one beautiful rc especially from the rear with cocked axle pose. But I'm not gonna write off the dragon hammer I've been following that for a year now so I know it's had extensive testing. Plus fid has only just started being associated to it as far as I know. It was always just dragon hammer. This month fid dh. Could be a means to branding and gaining fids links. Who is fid anyway do they make all the fid parts or put ther name to anyone's parts. Both of these rcs have me intrested. If rcm are stocking the the dh that's good news to me. But I can't afford either lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 The first pics I saw of the DH had FID branded parts on it and that was over 9 months ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
