KRACKEN VESLA.5 FIRST START AND RUN IN!!!

In this episode, everyone, we take the Kraken Vesla out for its first start, and maiden rip. However, it’s not long after I get it fired up I run into problems let’s figure it out.

[@rcOhio]

Pretty awesome Ben! It really doesn’t run bad at all for stock! We know it’s going to be a missile once you have your way with it!😂

[@Meyers2strokeRcgarage]

Right on 👍🏼 Thanks Todd! Definitely not what I’m used to. Lol 😂 i’m fixing to big bore it😁

[@Cpt-Pugwash14]

I have the Vesla Gas SBK on order..... just waiting patiently for it to show up in about 2 months.

[@Meyers2strokeRcgarage]

It will be well worth the wait my bro👍🏼

[@kgm5512]

Love it bro!! You would think the shocks wouldn’t shock with how extreme the angle is up front. Loved the handling and drifting. You’re right just like your original videos!!

[@Meyers2strokeRcgarage]

Yeah for sure my brother 🤙🏼👍🏼🤘🏼

[@Doublestroker]

Hell yeah that’s gonna be bad to the bone when you get a nice engine in it!

[@Meyers2strokeRcgarage]

The stock engine wouldn’t be bad with a tuned pipe, but you know me, I like things a little bit more aggressive lol 😂

[@Victic005]

Mine stock engine did the same thing. The engine would die when I give it throttle. Then I never got it running right so I swap out the engine

[@jasonmallory1028]

This rig is sweet I can’t wait to see what you turn it into my bro! 💪

[@Meyers2strokeRcgarage]

Big bore machine 😁👍🏼🤘🏼🤙🏼

[@SmithRCStudios]

Cool buggy. Thought about getting one as a Kraken fan but never pulled the trigger… enjoy mate! Cheers

[@Meyers2strokeRcgarage]

Thanks 👍 I love it so far it handles really nicely and the suspension is great 👍🏼

[@gazbo_RC]

Had two of the K320 engines .. first one carb wouldn’t prime and engine blew after 10 mins (poor casting) second engine carb primed but Same as yours could not tune.. wacked on a warboro and helped but engine does feel abit slow for a 32.. I uploaded a video but could probably do with porting or something to give it some extra power! Great video 👍

[@Meyers2strokeRcgarage]

Yeah bro I just think every now and again you get a bad carb. The engine seems to make decent power for what it is. I’m used to Taylor power and big power. Lol 😂

[@ericscott3488]

You needed to let the engine warm up and adjust your high needle

[@Meyers2strokeRcgarage]

@@ericscott3488 yeah I did that 👍🏼😁 I was pretty much tuning the entire time lol 😂

[@RRRC80]

And they say there's no 2 stroke RC hobby in Iowa. They don't need to know it's 2 guys 😂. I was considering that one as my next purchase. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

[@Meyers2strokeRcgarage]

Lmao 🤣 My plans are to convert it to a big bore machine👍🏼

[@RCWalletVacuum]

Hey Ben, looks like it handles real well. Time for that 71cc though, kind of sounds like your weed eating the lawn,lol

[@Meyers2strokeRcgarage]

Lmao 🤣 definitely time to big bore it! My pipe and stuff should be here by the end of this week👍🏼🤙🏼🤘🏼

[@EJ-74]

NIIIIICE 👌🏻

[@Meyers2strokeRcgarage]

Thanks 😊 🤘🏼🤙🏼

[@lotuse420]

Look out bens burning the cookies😁 cant wait to see the monster this becomes

[@Meyers2strokeRcgarage]

Lmao 🤣 she’s going to be sweet 😉🤙🏼🤘🏼👍🏼

[@darrensmith9606]

I'm pritty sure I only saw you turn the high speed needle, the low needed to be richer, if you was doing the low then I apologise

[@Meyers2strokeRcgarage]

I was actually turning them both throughout the video😉

[@darrensmith9606]

@@Meyers2strokeRcgarage aaaaahhh fair enough I didn't see that in the video, my apologies. That's going to be a wicked drift car.

[@Meyers2strokeRcgarage]

@@darrensmith9606 I can’t wait to put my 71 supreme big bore in it it’s gonna be a nice machine👍🏼 I know upgrades are shorthanded, but they’re still coming out and still being developed😉

[@willieanderson3819]

Just a hope and a prayer Brother….i just purchased this rig and it’s on the way…did I make a mistake buying this one. I originally wanted the Vecta 5 but because I just got the KV5TT I went with the Vesla 5 is it worth it or am I gonna have issues with it? Please let me know your opinion

[@Meyers2strokeRcgarage]

@@willieanderson3819 I love mine I think you’ll be really happy with it. I’ve got my Taylor RC 71 supreme currently in my vesla 👍🏼🤙🏼

[@willieanderson3819]

@@Meyers2strokeRcgarage what are your thoughts on the stock motor the Vesla comes with…I ordered the non silenced tuned pipe with it but what’s your honest thoughts?

[@Meyers2strokeRcgarage]

@willieanderson3819 my honest opinion is it sucks you’re gonna want more especially with tires that have some grip👍🏼🤙🏼

[@eugenewaller7257]

Where didbyou get that big black wing and brace from Sir ?

[@knolatwood3201]

Kinda sad, a brand new expensive buggy like that, and you have to put on a new carb. right out of the box ?!

[@Meyers2strokeRcgarage]

@@knolatwood3201 yeah and it’s not the first time I’ve had to do this before sometimes you just get a bad one👍🏼 they usually do a test fire when the engines built and that’s it sometimes not even that

[@knolatwood3201]

@@Meyers2strokeRcgarage I think it's a sign of the times, quality is no more, I'm an older guy, been building and racing 1/5 for many years, never once, with a Zenoah, CY, even garbage HY motors, have I ever had one not start right up and run decent right out of the box, yet I've had a Taylor that wouldn't run at all for me, honestly, I miss the Zenoah based Red Arrow motors, best motors ever made imo.

[@Meyers2strokeRcgarage]

@knolatwood3201 oh my brother, my Taylor engines run top notch. Check this out same machine, different engine lol 😂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZqogKKheKdsl9Usi=NWOvnaKk_D4kb06n

[@phillip4984]

I like the car , but man once you try a taylor engine, I just can't stand any other engine, just no power. Put the 40gt on that bro. Nice video though 👌

[@Meyers2strokeRcgarage]

I love the car bro it handles great. I think it’s going to be perfect for a big bore👍🏼

[@BlueSmokeRC]

Is that a Zenoah 32 or a Rovan?

[@Meyers2strokeRcgarage]

It’s the Kraken version of a 32👍🏼

[@AJYZF1R2010]

Shouldn’t it be set from factory

[@Meyers2strokeRcgarage]

Yeah it should be but that doesn’t help a bad carb. I spent close to 20 minutes trying to clear out whatever was wrong and no cigar. So I replaced the carb 😉

[@AJYZF1R2010]

@@Meyers2strokeRcgarage damn hopefully it’s something you can fix the carb I mean

[@Meyers2strokeRcgarage]

@AJYZF1R2010 yeah I’ll probably go through it in the near future and make a video about it. Somebody was asking about that anyways in the comment section, they wanted me to pull a carburetor apart and rebuild it

[@tigwelding123]

🙏💯✊️💪👍

[@Agent0004]

what carb did you put on it (8:30)?

[@Meyers2strokeRcgarage]

1107 with a spiral diaphragm 👍🏼

[@Meyers2strokeRcgarage]

Just an extra one I had laying around

[@mikebrowne4028]

@@Meyers2strokeRcgarage Any recommendation for a non diaphragm carb? Would the 1107 or 813 work?

[@Meyers2strokeRcgarage]

@@mikebrowne4028 yep 👍🏼

[@andreaskayser8369]

26cc Stock Engine ?

[@Meyers2strokeRcgarage]

No, it’s a 32 cc bro👍🏼

It's just a shame to get it dirty🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Meyers2strokeRcgarage]

lol 😂 it will never be that clean again 🤣
