What an Absolute Beast.... Looks great on those tires.... Glad you took those Tiny stock Tires off... Way too small. One word of advice... And this might sound strange, Don't Death Ramp it! This rig is too expensive, amazing, solid axel, and honestly not built for big sends I'm sure! Just enjoy it for what it is, mild sends and off road bashing... Looks like an amazing rig. I definitely won't be disappointed if you don't go Full Sender with er😎👍
@thunderrc Thunder God RC!! perhaps you can help me out. I just tried to pre-order but to my dismay they are all sold out. When will the next batch be available for the rest of us mere mortals?
Wow❗❗This RC Kraken makes a plane noise on the asphalt 💪 it tears 💪 it's a beast 💥 I hope you were able to identify where the noise is coming from and that you will be able to fix it quickly! Impressive to see evolve and in real life you must be super happy, peace my brother and congratulations again to mom Thunder for these beautiful images of the beast 👍🏆⚡⚡⚡
Rocky I swear to God u thought I was watching an F1 RACE. Love the content as always sir. Looking forward to the next video. Have a great day and great weekend.
Dam good performer out of the box. I would love to see how much of a difference it would make if the stock motor was swapped out with something like a tp power 5860.
What an amazing beast brother! That thing can definitely gear up but it looked fun as is. Them proline tires look great on there too. Hopefully you figure out the clicking noise can’t wait to see what you find in there hopefully nothing major though. Thunder I said it before but this thing is on my buy list and hopefully before summer/falls end because up here it does snow and get cold eventually. I’ve got until about October lol 😆🇨🇦👍. I’m thinking about preordering it if I can get one
That is a big heavy fast cool electric machine bro! It sounds cool but I dont think that is going to like the death ramp, it will be its death if you jump it haha. That fire hydrant freaked me out for a sec bro shew haha it popped up outta nowhere!
Nice vid. Vekta runs a center spool not a diff inside that tranny a gear may be stripping or perhaps a small pebble got in there and is getting jammed up in the gear. I would say maybe a shot bearing but it's new so I highly doubt that. Best thing to do is take it apart and investigate. Good thing is vekta is super simple and easy to wrench on.
Those are all really great suggestions, thank you so much. I will definitely look into it and let you know. I love his truck so far it is amazing!🏆⚡️🔥🔥🔥🔥
Solid axles definitely take getting used to when compared to independent but once you get the handling down they are freakishly fun and will drift for days.
I was never a big fan of solid axle RC's but in the last several years they are starting to really impress me, This truck looks very planted with the solid axle in the rear and independent suspension in the front seems to work very well, kinda reminds me of the UDR on steroids lol 😁
Yes, it is amazing to see a car. This size move around so quick and I haven’t even geared it up yet. This thing is going to scream once I get the greeting right’🚀💯⚡️⚡️🔥🔥🏆
That "Clicking" sounds exactly like my Axial Yet XL. The suspension on full compression smacks the swaybar. Annoying AF but you can't "Tune" it out. Is what it is, just have to get used to it.
WHOA!! That's one noisy S.O.B at full throttle it almost sounds scary at time's. Awesome job on the test run hopefully you can get transmission problem worked out Thunder?👍😎👍
I have the gas version it’s a beast if you can get that thing moving get the hell out of the way if you gear that beast up it’s going to hall you have to put this 1/5 up there with the 5ive t great vid thx thunder
WOW ! Sounds really cool , pretty much runs just like the gas version ,gunna need those tires for jumps , stock tires , it will want to nose dive alot , I'll be getting one , but this time it won't be your fault 😂😂😂let us know what you find about the clicking Ng noise , I'm gunna bet on a braking issue , maybe loosen it up a bit , but just geussing
its the ring gear. causing the issue. mine is the front on a gasser. the ring gear is not flat, it warped and im still lookin for a new one. good luck. i greased it up with some good stuff and have not run it yet.
Had a similar issue with my Kraken vekta 5 . Had to upgrade to a vertigo transmission . Hopefully nothing serious with your kraken 5E Ultra . The buggy looks great and fast . I’ll wait until they get all the kinks out and vertigo makes a transmission for it . Enjoy .
The transmission is super strong CNC’ed out of billet aluminum unlike the VEKTA V1. Most likely the metal powder pinion gear breaking a tooth. We threw in there for testing on this prototype but we will swap it out to a hardened one for the production units.
Looks like a easy 80mph rig. Wow. Really looking forward to picking one up. Gear it up and tear the hell out of it so they can find the weak points and fix for all of us!!! But keep it looking pretty hahaha tough ask
Debating between this or the 1/5 Losi DBXLE 2.0 I know the kraken is more money but I’ve been impressed with your vids on kraken stuff so maybe I’ll go with that instead.
Check the brake disk, it binds and slams the drivetrain. I changed to rcr brakes, it stoppad after that. The lower part of the disk lean backwards on acceleration and jams everything😅 U can also put a brake disk guide on there so it stays in the right angle.
This is the brushless electric one and there’s no brake discs. It’s the powdered pinion gear broken tooth we think. We’d install a hardened steel one for production units. Thunder has the first running prototype.
Quick question for you thunder on the gas vesla you put a 30degree north 36 in it at first did you have to mod it in any way or is it a straight drop in hope to here from you soon luv the bad lands on that vecta 5 keep bringing the vids I really look forward to them
Beautiful rig! It definitely hits top speed too quickly, so adding a tooth or two will open it up. The rear end kind of hops around a bit - is that normal for solid axle rigs? Or maybe stiff springs? LOVE IT!
@thunderrc I agree with you but for the price of it , it should have came with the proper gear ratio out of the box , or included in the box as an option to change the gear ratio.
Dude the quality of these recent videos is off the chain!!
Truly appreciate it my bro! Thank you so much exclamation⚡️🏆🏆🚀💯
I love how he uploads constantly.
Man, i really enjoy your channel. Awesome 5th scale bashing is not so common so I’m glad you filled that space.
What an Absolute Beast.... Looks great on those tires.... Glad you took those Tiny stock Tires off... Way too small.
One word of advice... And this might sound strange, Don't Death Ramp it!
This rig is too expensive, amazing, solid axel, and honestly not built for big sends I'm sure!
Just enjoy it for what it is, mild sends and off road bashing... Looks like an amazing rig.
I definitely won't be disappointed if you don't go Full Sender with er😎👍
I fully agree that it's s kick-ass-and-take-names type of RC is not meant for going down Hard from big heights definitely a desert racer type of truck
You know its because of you that he sends it off the death ramp 😂
@@nobody617 likley 😂😂
You know that thingi s big AF when it makes the mx57's look small 😱
They do look small 😂
Been waiting to see the first run. Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much, brother!⚡️🔥🏆🏆🔥
Huge fan of everything on this rig. 12s, front IFS, rear a solid metal axel, and it is just big!
Probably why I love my Losi Super Rey! It's such a violent RC basher with that solid rear axle!
Those tires on asphalt. almost makes that beast sound like a formula 1 race car. Awesome rib bother 👊😎👍💯⚡⚡⚡
Yes, the tire sound amazing on the asphalt, thanks so much, brother!💯⚡️🔥🏆🏆⚡️
Nice!! If I knew they were coming out with a Vekta E, I would of skipped the Vesla.
Yes but the Vesla is awesome too man! Both truck are really cool!
the sound is sick!
Love the truck! Momma thunder must be so proud of u mate! Can’t wait to see what she comes up with for the wrap⚡️⚡️🤠🤠☝️
Sounds like a Indy race car 🏎️ at full speed! Viscous looking machine 👊🏻💪🏻
It’s a losi super rock Rey on steroids 😊
@@mikehagquist5198 that too!
You will have that buggy flying high and hitting speeds they never thought it would...we will be watching bro....make it tip!!!!! 👍👍💯
Yessir! She is going to be a beast!!!🔥🏆⚡️🔥🚀🚀 Thanks so much my brother!🚀
this channel gonna like blow up big time! love the content, keep them coming!
Truly appreciate it my bro. Thank you so much!⚡️🔥🏆🏆🏆
That truck sounds fkn awesome!
Thanks my dude! This thing rips man! I am filming it today with the 18 tooth pinion installed!😱🔥🔥🚀 It’s gonna be a rocket!
I just want to say thank you for your content we look forward to it and love that you are not elitist snobs in the least. Keep it up.
Yeah I saw that one already and made a comment, I was expecting a run video with the 18 tooth pinion gear installed 😊
That will be very soon bro 💪⚡️🏆🏆🏆 Gonna be fast!
Oh cool didnt know Owen Wilson was in to rc 😀
Beautiful car, nice video bro, if they gave you a car to test your "neo" your the "one" bro😂😂😂
Yes! This is my next build that I have been delaying but you just motivated me!
Yes it truly is a monster!💯🚀🚀🏆🏆🏆
@thunderrc Thunder God RC!! perhaps you can help me out. I just tried to pre-order but to my dismay they are all sold out. When will the next batch be available for the rest of us mere mortals?
Wow, what a beautiful monster. It seems to handle like a dream. Can't wait to see it in person.
Insane 😮
Yes it is an insane beast!🚀🚀🔥⚡️🏆🏆
What a beast and proving the bigger rigs are amazing battery powered.
Wow❗❗This RC Kraken makes a plane noise on the asphalt 💪 it tears 💪 it's a beast 💥
I hope you were able to identify where the noise is coming from and that you will be able to fix it quickly!
Impressive to see evolve and in real life you must be super happy, peace my brother and congratulations again to mom Thunder for these beautiful images of the beast 👍🏆⚡⚡⚡
Thunder That was epic man!! thanks for the video!! & of course Momma Thunder too for recording!! Solid video
That thing is a BEAST. I like it.
Yes, it is an amazing beast!💯⚡️🔥🏆🏆🏆
It's got an insane hover sound when you put the throttle down thunder I like that handles good too by the looks of it very cool 😎
That thing is so sick. Can’t wait till the next video with it.
Wow ❤❤❤❤
The sound that thing makes on pavement is nuts
Great first bash man! That Vekta 5E is an animal. Those Pro-lines seem to be an excellent match for that beast👍
Thanks bro! Yes the prolines are a perfect fit and look awesome on this truck!🔥🏆🏆⚡️⚡️
What a beast that monster is ripping 🔥👍🏽💯💪🏾
Yeah you find the right gearing that thing is going to be insanely fast, Looks like it handles very well, the suspension looks NIIICE 👌🏻
Yes, I can’t wait to play around with the Geer’s, thanks so much!💯⚡️🏆🔥🔥
Wow! That thing looks incredible dude...can't wait to see how well it handles the DEATH RAMP😝
That looks awesome out there! I can’t wait to see you get used to this! And see what what you have in store! 👍👍😁😎✌️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️💥💥💥
Rocky I swear to God u thought I was watching an F1 RACE. Love the content as always sir. Looking forward to the next video. Have a great day and great weekend.
Yeah very strong 💪💪 keep it up
Dam good performer out of the box. I would love to see how much of a difference it would make if the stock motor was swapped out with something like a tp power 5860.
Yes she is a beast! I’m loving this truck so far!🔥🏆⚡️🚀🔥🔥
Love those close up slow mo’s 🔥
Awsome vid bro 👌 congrats on the beast and awsome footage and editing work your best work 👍 sounds like a jet about to take off lmao
Thank you so much bro!🔥⚡️🏆🏆💯🚀
Looks like a heavy beast, hopefully well machined. You definitely need to gear it up for some thunderous speed,OH YA!😊
Yes, it is built like a tank! I can’t wait to play around with different hearing.💯⚡️🔥🔥🏆🚀
Throw on the the 20T and see what happens 😅
What an amazing beast brother! That thing can definitely gear up but it looked fun as is. Them proline tires look great on there too.

@thunderrc jaymitchrc or crucialrc💪🏽 they get u right. They both stand up guys.
Solid axles definitely take getting used to when compared to independent but once you get the handling down they are freakishly fun and will drift for days.
I must also say, talk to Smith RC Studios, he's had gas Vektas for many years, he'd know what your clicking sound is if anyone would.
Hell yeah!
Fireteam ish eh? The way it sticks to the ground etc
Yes, it likes to stay planted😱⚡️🔥🔥 this truck is awesome!
I was never a big fan of solid axle RC's but in the last several years they are starting to really impress me, This truck looks very planted with the solid axle in the rear and independent suspension in the front seems to work very well, kinda reminds me of the UDR on steroids lol 😁
Yes, this car is amazing! One of the best trucks I’ve ever driven!💯⚡️🔥🏆🏆🏆
Power to weight... its much underpowered.
@@FrankvdBergI'm sure it will not be for long 😁 Doesn't look that much underpowered as it is, but you can never have too much power huh 😂
Love seeing how fast these big 1/5’s can be on 12s and proline badlands are my favorite wheels think I’ll get some for the Xmaxx :)
Yes, it is amazing to see a car. This size move around so quick and I haven’t even geared it up yet. This thing is going to scream once I get the greeting right’🚀💯⚡️⚡️🔥🔥🏆
@@thunderrc can’t wait too see that and maybe a little head too head vs the primal 😄
That thing is a ripper!
I would love to see it with better gearing. To the moon with it!

Love this video such good quality and what a beast, now you’ve made me want a vesla and a vekta 🔥
Good stuff thunder!
Thanks a ton my brother!🚀⚡️🔥🏆🏆

Its the brake rotor getting stuck off axis on the drive shaft and binding the brakes. Kraken has a fix kit, my KV5TT did the same thing
Yes you are right, thank you bro 👍⚡️🏆🏆🏆
Sound like a F1 Car nice
I heard this thing runs on Unicorn farts. So sick!
Sounds like magic 😂😂😂😂
She's a screemer🎉
It is such a Beast💯⚡️🔥🏆🏆
Sounds like a NASCAR
Sounds like a aeroplane 😂 great video 👍👌
There it is
its the ring gear. causing the issue. mine is the front on a gasser. the ring gear is not flat, it warped and im still lookin for a new one. good luck. i greased it up with some good stuff and have not run it yet.
this beast is epic👌🏻🚀
Nice bro👊🏻🍺
We need the gas version! Throw a Taylor 80 in there and you'll be all set
Had a similar issue with my Kraken vekta 5 . Had to upgrade to a vertigo transmission . Hopefully nothing serious with your kraken 5E Ultra . The buggy looks great and fast . I’ll wait until they get all the kinks out and vertigo makes a transmission for it . Enjoy .

i definitely want it! i think this beast is no made for dead ramp but….. 👀 maybe 🚀🔥😂
Yes, it is an amazing trip! I love this thing!💯🚀🌴🔥🏆🏆
I dunno wtf that thing is but it is awesome!
Yes, it is truly amazing! I love this, Carl!⚡️🔥🏆🏆⚡️💯🚀
Very sweet 👊👍
👍👍👍
Looks like a easy 80mph rig. Wow. Really looking forward to picking one up. Gear it up and tear the hell out of it so they can find the weak points and fix for all of us!!! But keep it looking pretty hahaha tough ask
5:31 i see you're giving hand modelling a try 😂
Haha oh yes 😂😂⚡️🏆
I need one ! 😂
Yes you do! This beast is amazing!!💯🚀🚀👑
That thing literally sounds like a nascar track when it goes flying by the camera!! Next stop double backflips of the death ramp ??? 🤔🤔🤔
Need that Taylor RC engine in there
Yes, it would be very nice to have a Taylor Engine in one of these Vektas 💪⚡️🔥🔥🔥🏆
Love everything. Just unsure of 2K. You will be sitting close to 3K. That's not chump change.
Thanks so much! Yes, this is one of the best RC cars that I have ever driven! I definitely think it is worth the investment💪⚡️🔥🔥🏆🏆🔥
Simply NO words can describe this. What batteries and radio are you running? Average run time(s)?
Debating between this or the 1/5 Losi DBXLE 2.0 I know the kraken is more money but I’ve been impressed with your vids on kraken stuff so maybe I’ll go with that instead.
Clock it n see wat speeds u get.. I think with the size of that RC 12s might b equivalent to 8s
Sick 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🔥🔥🔥🤙🏽✌🏽
🚀🏆🏆🔥⚡️⚡️
I have a feeling in a future video you’re going to send her up the death ramp
You never know, the death ramp is always waiting 😂💯⚡️⚡️🏆🔥
@@thunderrc I hope not 😂 she’s a beautiful RC

Cool😊 then its prbl not the non existing disk 😂
NICE…. ONLY THING ABOUT SOLID REAR AXLE IS THEY ARE SO BOUNCE HAPPY 😖
Quick question for you thunder on the gas vesla you put a 30degree north 36 in it at first did you have to mod it in any way or is it a straight drop in hope to here from you soon luv the bad lands on that vecta 5 keep bringing the vids I really look forward to them
It was the 38 CC, and O did have to cut the rear bumper cage a little bit to make it fit but that is it 😱💪💪🚀⚡️🔥
Thx thunder I a appreciate your time
Sounds like an Indy car
Yes, it sounds amazing!💯💯🏆🏆🔥🔥
🔥🔥👍🏽👍🏽
Like to see if front drive shafts stay together. I can’t keep mine together on dbxle 2.0
I’m sure they will stay together just fine, these driveshafts are very beefy!💪⚡️⚡️🏆
The best and more powerful truck ever I prefer it with hw 560kv ...
Beautiful rig! It definitely hits top speed too quickly, so adding a tooth or two will open it up. The rear end kind of hops around a bit - is that normal for solid axle rigs? Or maybe stiff springs? LOVE IT!
Progressive springs might help with that. It helped with my K8S. But now I'm ready to graduate to 12S!!!!
Great video but do you think the petrol version would be faster and better to drive?
I don't think this rig is suitable for jumps from the weight !!
I'm surprised that she didn't lift up on u at all. The 48gt one does.
Yes, I was surprised that it didn’t wheelie but man it drives really good! 💯⚡️🔥🏆🏆
@@thunderrc
She looked crazy stable. But I totally agree with u more gearing.
Please don’t death ramp it lol😂 it’s too pretty😂. That’s an insane amount of power for just out of the box. Those badlands sound mean on the pavement!
First 👍⚡⚡⚡
Your da man bro!⚡️🔥🏆🏆🔥
You're absolutely slaying it mate.!

No Death Ramp!? Next video right???
I think it should have been hauling as if it was scolded ...but oh well who am I to voice.😊
Yes, the gearing on this car was a little disappointing, but that’s an easy fix! I will have it moving real fast soon! 💯⚡️🔥🏆🏆🏆
@thunderrc I agree with you but for the price of it , it should have came with the proper gear ratio out of the box , or included in the box as an option to change the gear ratio.
For the transmission is it the same as the Vekta from a few yers back? Dose it have a slipper Clutch?
Could u do a video comparing it to the xmaxx
Too bad you didn’t run it straight out of the box the way it was shipped.
Death ramp it!!!!
