RCbutcher Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 So the shop took deposits but didn't bother to even order any stock that's messed up. Mayb he's under water and couldn't afford to order has hopes of making big at bash fest If he's going for sales. I'm sure going to bash wouldn't be more important that securing two high end sales.

.AJ. Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I think the interest in the Krakarse is pretty much zero on the forum now 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpmart Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I'm still interested in the Kraken Vekta, just not interested at present as I didn't nab one of the early trucks, thanks to Abbots letting me down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Is their anywhere else actually doing them, aside from DDM? The Vekta that is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkfat78 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I'm currently saving for a Vekta and can't wait to give it some Sharkfat treatment. Saw the Dragon Hammer at Bashfest and wasn't impressed really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Bling Central!! Looks good - how are the oil levels in the shocks and diffs? Something's missing - what's going to fill the gap? Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunny_Basher Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 If you read the written review of the KV.5, by the guy who ran it at the US track (a couple of videos doing the rounds), you'll read that during an afternoon racing (not hard bashing) it chewed up 2x sets of rear bearings. The first set they put down to probable hard use by other reviewers, but the replacement second set only lasted a few circuits.... Seems that it was a preproduction model and the production versions will ship with 'some shims and spacers'... Me thinks that Jason may have done you guys a favour, better to wait until the car has been on release for a while and the kinks ironed out before dropping £1.5k on an untried and tested model ? That said, the KV.5 appeals to me more than the DH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkfat78 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Anyone know what engine fitment the Kraken has? I've got a 5B and I'm not that up fitments for other vehicles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 A Baja engine is straight fit, from what I read you can use either a CY or Zen fan cover, but you have to use full sized clutch case, not the short version for a 5ive/DBXL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkfat78 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Well that's a bonus then, as I'll have a nice little 29cc full mod to drop in one. Hopefully that'll give it enough oomph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babylon Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 So, I said this back in February, So how has my feeling panned out. Quote I know nothing about this car, And won't pretend to, But am I the only one that has the feeling this car is gonna be a lemon, I have no vested interest ever way, So hope it's not, But just get the feeling that Kraken have bitten off more than they can chew, Gone from making hopups and a dam ugly roll cage, To a full car kit. Delays can be looked at two ways, They want to get it right first time and will keep holding it back, Or they are chasing there tails and fighting fires, With problems raising there heads every five minutes. I may not have a clue what I'm talking about, Like I said, Just a feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
