HUGE TIRES on my KRAKEN VEKTA 5 32cc GAS Race Truck : MAXXIS TREPADORS | RC ADVENTURES

It has been 2 seasons since I have turned this beast machine on.. and I must say that it fired right up, with no issues at all. The giant tires I have installed are Maxxis Trepadors from Kraken RC. The machine I mounted them to, is a Kraken "Vekta 5" race truck. I have a love/hate relationship with this vehicle.. and today, I absolutely LOVE IT! All except for that one darn rock on the track (which never should have been there).. this machine performed exactly the way I always dreamt it could! Incredible! I take it easy on the truck today.. because it has been a very long time since I have run it. I need to get used to throwing that much heavy weight around in the air, and landing properly. The truck isn't rusty.. I am. Heh.

For those who are just joining us - this is a 4WD 1.5th scale Gas Powered Racing Truck. For more information about the Vekta 5 here is a link to the Kraken Site: http://www.krakenrc.com/vekta5/

If you are interested in purchasing a Vekta 5, or some of the awesome upgrades you see in this film - I get most our 1/5 scale gear from Dave's Discount Motors (aka DDM Racing): http://www.DavesMotors.com - including those nifty Hex bits for our drills. Daves has a huge inventory of RC parts that are hard to find, and everything you need for your RC tool box.

The Modded Engine is a Now discontinued ZENOAH G320RC 32.cc Bartolone Kraken Mod Engine for the VEKTA.5 (The engine is still available, but the custom mod from Kraken is not)

An older reference note from the Kraken site was: "The goal of this project is to optimize the overall power band while maintaining the same light weight of the stock motor. Coupled with Bartolone tuned pipe which we recommend for this motor, you will have a beast of a motor suitable to be called the KRAKEN MOD. Motor is plug and play for the VEKTA.5 and is the perfect companion for the LSE Kit or the ARTR non engine version."
