- Get a VEKTA 5 - (amzn.to/2qH3A8d) WOO HOO! We are excited to to get the Vekta 5 out out for it's first rip! First we must complete a few final checks - and dial it in on the transmitter/radio setup. We also wanted to show how to mix oil and gas, for those who have never seen it before - or are unsure of the container/mix bottle we use. We also cover the type of 2-stroke motor oil we want for efficient gasoline burning and engine lubrication.
Tighten the wheel nuts? Check! Mixed Fuel? Check! Added thread-lock every where we can? YES! Time to start up the Bartolone Racing - Kraken Mod 32cc Gas powered engine - and let this truck roar for the first time! We are taking it easy in the first few minutes of start up (and off camera ran the truck around for 3/4 of a tank on slow throttle) to help break in the engine. Right from the beginning.. this engine wanted to rippppp across the grass - and it sure was hard to maintain the URGE TO BLAST IT WiDE OPEN.. haha! But, as we progress in the film.. you will see the engine really start to open up. I can hardly wait to get a few tanks of fuel through this engine - to really see what it can do!
We ran into a few minor problems with the truck - it seems as though some of the first trucks had some soft plastics - and heck, we even broke an A arm in the film with very little force - but like mentioned during the video - this kinda weight/speed hurdling around a track for the first time will certainly divulge any issues that may have been caused during assembly at the factory. Regardless - we will have a new set of arms on this rig very soon - and look forward to running this truck all season. I think I have a new favourite 1/5th scale Monster truck.. and its the Vekta 5! Haha :)
If you are interested in purchasing a Vekta 5, or some of the awesome upgrades you see in this film - we get most our 1/5 scale gear from Dave's Discount Motors (aka DDM Racing): www.DavesMotors... - 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.

A note from the Kraken site "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."
Our friend Paul from "IMMERSiON DESiGN INC" was the designer and artist of my Vekta 5 Wrap. He did an excellent job on the colors and use of the brushed aluminum. The wrap is beautiful when paired with this Vekta 5 solid aluminum axles and the DDM wheels this entire rig really comes together. Visit Paul on his Facebook at: / immersionsign

Hi
Tell us, WHERE in the World are you Watching From?!

here's a tip on how I get all my oil out. After you pour it in the jerry can, pour it back into the oil container and swish it around a little. Then pour it back into the jerry can.
s_man 16 that's a dirtbike owners trick haha nice tip dude.
17madracki17 haha yep!
s_man 16 yes. but doesn't work for me as the container would have gas smell. I leave it in my truck cab year round.
I should have read the comments before posting ha!
EV TEK well then take it out of your truck
I think it would look a little better with some bigger tires
Yep! Bigger tires and maybe a different shell?!
Like maybe the ones from his Killer Krawler.
a different shell? hell no
killer krawler tires LOL i hope that was a joke
absolutely not. :p
Definitely needs a little bit bigger tires, thats my opinion though
I'd much rather hear the wind AND the engine then just music 😜😄
Id much rather have a mix :)
RCSparks Studio What's the music?
Finally, the driving video of this beast is here! I druel of this car in the previous video and wondering when this video would come out. Hope you putting out at least one more hard driving ripping video of this wonderful car. Thanks DJ Medic and Everett! Take care guys!
I love those fire covered springs
I usually don't comment but as always your build vids especially this Kraken Build is by far the sweetest 5th scale I've ever seen!!!! love all your vids from open box to your how too and passion for this hobby. especially how you make this hobby so much fun for everyone. Your ability to make this hobby fun and inspiring to the kids with small low budget RC to something as big and expensive like 5th scale for people like my father who got me into the hobby. Again awesome build and looking forward for more to come.
Troy Thorsen awesome to hear. thanks for sharing.
bean oil,,, ahhhhh,,, love it,,, 927 is what I run in my dirt bike's . I had to stop the vid. at 1:30 to comment.
@RCSparks Studio. A little helpful tip after you pour the oil in your gas container shake it up then pour some of your gas/oil mix into the mixing container and swish it around then pour that back into your gas container that way you get all the oil out of your mixing container
MGP CUSTOMS good tip but I can't stand a smelly container after. hard to have in the truck cab you know.
I hear ya there
That is a beast! But it does look like it could do with bigger wheels and tyres which will give it a better ground clearance, but still a nice truck! Good job!
I love castrol 927 thats all ive ever ran in my 2 stroke dirt bikes my dad swore by it its what i was raised on nothing better than the smell of 927 burning in the morning at the mx track
The KRACKEN is finally released out of the dark deep sea!!!! :)
anonymous only thing I broke on my Rovan 1/5 scale Baja was the Dogbones so I made solid steel Dogbones oh and I let it sit outside in 20 degrees whether for 3 hours then ripped it and the plastic spur shattered lol
anonymous yes it broke,so what,throw in a alum one and it's live again,there are no rc that doesn't break
Huh..... Im guessing the tires are to small and ugly, the axle is ugly, i hate music and its a lemon! There are a lot of unhappy people with nothing positive to say but its your right to post your opinions. Sorry for the little rant and i understand you can never make everyone happy. O by the way awesome build! 👍😎
I love the body of that truck and the chassis with the exhaust on top 👍🏼
I love large scales. they are tons of fun. I've never had a 2 stroke 5th scale yet. I want one badly:)
I love seeing you comment in every video. Thank you for your passion for the vids, UTM :)
RCSparks Studio I always comment on your videos to show support. It means so much to me when I get a notification that you reply to my comment:)
your welcome as well :)
Its viewer like you that has helped make this show happen UT Man :) We really do our best to comment to everyone - but there are so many of you that show love. Really cool bud, and thank you, too :)
RCSparks Studio your welcome Aaron. your videos are the whole reason why I have over 30 rcs. I love your channel. thank you for making such great great videos :)
awesome vid. nice job
this is one reason way I still love my rampage MT PRO. all aluminum big tires 32cc and Dominator pipe and I have good time play with out worries
You should call your track "track sparrow" cause it beat the KRAKAEN 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Chod Carpenter Kraken-Slayer
So sweet! Loved this video. Covered so much information. I learned a lot. Keep it real.
Looking awesome bro !
*BBRRRRRRRRAAAPPP!!!*
Release the KRAKEN!! 😎👍👍👏👏👏 Seeing the slo-mo, watching that huge Suspension work was a real treat!! That Rig is SO Impressive. Thanks Aaron and Everett!!
Carmine 🚂
It seems to land jumps a little too nose heavy.... Back when I raced 1/8th Nitro Buggies, that meant I needed to soften the rear some.
Is it the same with these monsters??
Agreed with Ev! Castor 927 is one of the best Oils out there for sure! Great work guys!
Has anyone done a full trophy truck build on one of these yet?
Quite a few guys are retrofitting losi 5ive t rollcages with 30 deg north body panels on these.
_RC_KING_ yes,I have,search: xianchen liu on UA-cam,I've uploaded a few video
_RC_KING_ yes check out the kraken vekta Facebook group. Lots of awesome information in there.
Good job man. Looks Awesome! I'd love to do a 5th Formula Off-Road one day...
Forget all the peeps saying its ugly and needs bigger tires if you like it thats all that matters!!!! I think it looks badass.
why not put bigger tires on
1) It'd probably make it more prone to breakage
&
2) Bigger tires would make it less torquey
Ludlow Massachusetts been watching for about 3 years now love the show you do good work
u need biger wheels bro
that thing is absolutely sick looking!! and castor 927 mix smells awesome!!
Central PA BMX/MX Riders I fully agree.
360p early squad

love these 5th scale videos, DjMedic! Keep it up.. Especially the Kraken vids. Been watching your vids for 7 years now and finally I am able to get a 5th scale of my own!
nice truck but that shiny rear axle is kinda ugly.
adilator chill dog
that is just badass. I've wanted any fast rc my whole life but never been able to afford one with 4 kids.

awesome bud. love the fact you guys are taking this on together. definitely doubled the fun..lol.. she runs great brother and it looks good on the track.. thanks for sharing..🖒😎
When I mix my oil and fuel I pour a good amount of gas from the can into the oil measuring cup to dilute and mix any left over oil, then that goes back into the mixed gas can. That way you get exactly what you measured out from the cup.
That is a pretty sick build man. The rear axle is a work of art!
I still would want one. Looks like a blast to blaze around the track. good luck & see ya in the next upgrade video.
Forrest Havron it's awesome. just luck.
Life goals. I will have a 5th scale rc before I die.
thanks for the video fellas it will make me take a closer look at mine when I start working on it next week. Nice looking vekta the rims make the aluminum parts pop. NICE

I'm watching from Pittsburgh, PA
yo medic....its T.C. from Mi.
I'm happy to say you have been a very very valuable informational influence on the hobby of "rc" .
I'm have recently gotten back into it..this year and proud to say i have quite the collection so far..
1. traxxas slash fox body.....vettara k-5 rtr....ecx barrage....with a custom 54 chevy body i painted for my girlfriend......a 1/18 4×4 slash......and most recently two trx4's one red one grey...the one is mine the grey one is her's....with many upgrades on the ecx..both slashes and my k-5 is finally riding on 2.2's
the trx4's are our main focus as im slowly getting the upgrades coming....
me and Jamie have pattern our rc adventures after you and jem's....with the trx4's...between the backwoods and our local parks it's been a blast...oh yeah i almost forgot two boats joined the team last week...traxxas blast and a 1/10 scale fishing boat...i had to try the hole rc fishing deal.....
I'm really in need of a couple of "crazy-joes" 1/10 scale trailers...any responses
would be greatly appreciated.
two thumbs up to you my friend. keep up the excellent work..
Hi Terry! Awww, my friend Krazy Joe stopped making them a few years ago, unfortunately :(
RCSparks Studio got it...
well i really appreciate the information on it....
well i guess big-dog. or rc4wd will be getting some of my business soon..thanks again...
Only you guys can make such awesome thing
Time stopped when I heard this thing start up!
if you poured a little bit of gas in the measuring cup and sloshed it around and poured it in the gas can to get all the oil out, the residual gas left in measuring cup will evaporate before its next use, leaving a empty clean measuring cup.
watching from missouri
Amazing buggy. It looks like it handles the track well. Look forward to seeing it go on the track once broken in with some damp dirt on the track for traction!
beautiful rig bro!! the paint job is amazing on this. shock bags are nice, perfect flow with paint theme....
Great show and what a beast (the Kraken). Love these first runs after watching it being build. Don't think I'll ever get something that size (no joke intended) so it's great fun watching it here. Good music choice (Epic for something Mepic) and nice slo mo. Love to watch the suspension at work. Thumbs up.
I want to see you two racing these on your track!
Watching from Leuven (Belgium) nice vid!
That's a giant truck sir! I loved text at the beginning! Love your vids.
Thanks so much my friend, for your comment today - and for your continued passion for our show!
How could I not enjoy your show? You've helped me so much with the hobby, and I greatly appreciate it. #rclife
Love it! Bad luck with the arm.. shocks too... 👍
Beautiful build!!
Had the same issues with my Vecta...both front shock seal caps backing out and leaking. Only solution was to Loctite them. Like the Wheels very slick!
Looks and sounds beautiful
Splash some gas into your mixing cup/ratio-rite to clean it out and get all of the oil into your mix gas can. Then stuff it with a rag to keep the dust out. brappppp
Watching from Sterling Heights Michigan
really cool video. love the rig setup good job 👍
