His first business crashed with the .com bubble so went surfing to cool off. Thought up the gopro. Either way, it's a great story, "from the smallest acorns grow the mightiest oaks"! To all; I didn't get an answer a few pages back, why the negativity towards the FID? Do they have a bad rep? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) What negativity? No one has said a bad thing about the DH or FID on this thread Tbh there has been more negativity aimed at the Kraken, but with a big asking price that's to be expected really Edited January 20, 2016 by .AJ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 The general vibe was not good, but maybe that was more to do with a comparison between the two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpmart Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) AJ - any news on engine size's that will fit? Cage clearance question really.... I've a nice 'beefy' 46cc I was considering fitting in my Vekta.. Edited January 20, 2016 by Carpmart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 No idea, someone asked that question to Kraken and they said it was built for G320 and its up to others to see what else will fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) But they did say a reed case wont fit because the carb will hit the cage Edited January 20, 2016 by .AJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpmart Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 On the rear axle. Live axles have a place (in history mainly ) and that looks very correct aesthetically on the Vekta, but I'm unconvinced it will handle better than independent rear suspension, as in Losi 5ive. It's not stopped me though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Within a week some nutter will have a 70 in it lol, I think the big issue will be exhaust options to start with, you will be fine getting one for a 32cc and smaller tho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookie666uk Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 that throttle servo looks a little exposed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Exposed to what? You are stupid if you run without the cage/shell on lol The cage extends a good inch out past the edge of the chassis, so there is plenty of protection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it's going to be tuned the same as any other Dom, low down power ? - When I had the 5ive and the Pro-MX I initially had the Dom on there, was decent but when I put the BZM Micro on there it opened it up so much more..

.AJ. Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Guess we will just have to wait and see, I would much rather a silenced pipe (Bart or Victory) but comes down to what is available about a week before UK release Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HYPER-BOY Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Wonder if any company will manufacture a brushless set up for it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I would think so, it would need a similar set up as a 5ive, so don't expected much change from 1.5k lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie666uk Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 i couldnt tell from pics how well protected the servo was. just seemed a little exposed right on the edge of the chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scatteh316 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 No rubber dampening on that DOM pipe that I can see? And that inch gap between the cage and servo is to much, still more then enough room for a decent enough sized rock or stone to smash into the side of the servo.

cookie666uk Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) the pipe looks like a prototype to get it in the right place and to prove it fits. the fact it has no rubber on it yet means nothing imo however i think your right about the cage gap. looks big enough for something to get in and start breaking stuff Edited January 20, 2016 by cookie666uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) As for stones getting stuck in the cage, surely that's a issue with every RC without a full enclosed shell... I had a stone jam up the spur gear on the deebee, the 5ive could suffer the same, ive had them lock up the steering on small scale electric stuff as well.... Edited January 20, 2016 by .AJ.

HYPER-BOY Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 On my 5ive with the stock cage and shell I was always pulling out stones (quite big too) - I think its part and parcel of RC in general. Like anything else, there's always ways around it I would imagine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie666uk Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 lol of course. all my rcs suffer from stone ingress. after the xmaxx thread i thought bashing new models that none of us actually own yet was fair game? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
