scatteh316 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 35 minutes ago, RCbutcher said: The dragon hammer specs are very good. It's bigger than the vekta. Length 931.6mm vs 884mm. Other dimensions are closer to each other. Dh 40mm taller. Both have the same 6061T6 chassis. Vekta has 8mm shock shafts. Dh 7mm. Dh has 750ml fuel tank. Vekta is much lighter. Rollers weigh dh 22kg / v5 17.7kg Dragon hammer is more than 50% alloy mayb why it's so heavy. Now I thought the vekta 5 was rear wheel drive but that page says its 4wd with centre diff. I must have thought wrong. Dh will do 75kph 46mph with its zenhoa 29cc. Is that potential or fact tho lol. Dh shocks are pretty big too. 185mm fronts. 225mm rears. Vekta has 300mm shocks. Just a quick comparison for lazies like me. The dragon hammer has impressed me apart from its weight. That's shocking. Dragon hammer is 24kg rtr. 5ive is 16.7kg. Baja 13kg. Rtr You may want to check the weight again as I get different from the DH page: http://www.fidracing.com/pro/showproduct.php?lang=en&id=87 Roller is 16.5Kg and RTR is 18.5Kg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I went on gross weight thinking that's the full weight. I'll change it to net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gross weight includes the weight of the package that you'll receive ( So box, the truck, TX and other parts that's included in the box ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mond Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 The wheels don't look out of scale with that body on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) I agree, Kraken have already hinted at different body styles to come along later, so all this "the wheels look small" talk doesn't bother me in the slightest Edited January 21, 2016 by .AJ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfection might be the shell sides being level with the chassis plate but it's not too far off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mond Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Probably realised shipping from within the EU to the UK is the same price as shipping within the UK. Well, unless we vote out and duties get put back in place. Then we'll pay even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
