RELEASE THE KRAKEN! GiANT VEKTA 5 1500 RACE TRUCK - 32cc Gas Powered Machine - BRAP! | RC ADVENTURES

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.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.

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

[@aidanbonsante961]

I think it would look a little better with some bigger tires

[@williampowell9013]

Yep! Bigger tires and maybe a different shell?!

[@christophermorin9036]

Like maybe the ones from his Killer Krawler.

[@DavidGamero]

a different shell? hell no

[@DavidGamero]

killer krawler tires LOL i hope that was a joke

[@christophermorin9036]

absolutely not. :p

[@reedneudorf9043]

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.

[@17madracki17]

s_man 16 that's a dirtbike owners trick haha nice tip dude.

[@reedneudorf9043]

17madracki17 haha yep!

[@evtek3962]

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.

[@f4ibry]

I should have read the comments before posting ha!

[@unfunny2258]

EV TEK well then take it out of your truck

[@jettingspeed8750]

Another reason I love this channel.. NO CUSSING

[@geronimoelias7328]

Definitely needs a little bit bigger tires, thats my opinion though

[@giostealthr1]

Looking awesome bro !

[@disturbedmonkey]

I'm not really a fan of gas powered trucks, but I watched every second of this video because damn that thing is pretty!

[@markamd1]

Agreed with Ev! Castor 927 is one of the best Oils out there for sure! Great work guys!

[@RandomVideosInFlorida]

I love those fire covered springs

[@Willdoesmusic135]

I'd much rather hear the wind AND the engine then just music 😜😄

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Id much rather have a mix :)

[@dreadnoughtsea]

RCSparks Studio What's the music?

[@NordicRC]

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.

[@daddyofla]

A RIPPER SOUNDS GREAT, CANT WAIT TO SEE IT FULL THROTTLE.

[@RedbackRecordz]

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!

[@ngvids9178]

awesome vid. nice job

[@RcHobbiesBK]

I love the body of that truck and the chassis with the exhaust on top 👍🏼

[@rhafsfn3010]

Watching this is a sight to behold, amazing work medic

[@Nickysix6]

I love large scales. they are tons of fun. I've never had a 2 stroke 5th scale yet. I want one badly:)

[@TheRealRCSparks]

I love seeing you comment in every video. Thank you for your passion for the vids, UTM :)

[@Nickysix6]

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:)

[@TheRealRCSparks]

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 :)

[@Nickysix6]

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 :)

[@wpg56]

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.

[@024DJF]

So sweet! Loved this video. Covered so much information. I learned a lot. Keep it real.

[@hhhydrom3198]

that is just badass. I've wanted any fast rc my whole life but never been able to afford one with 4 kids.

[@onewaysamson7151]

The KRACKEN is finally released out of the dark deep sea!!!! :)

[@Baldys_projects]

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

[@V843v3r]

anonymous yes it broke,so what,throw in a alum one and it's live again,there are no rc that doesn't break

[@troyt3552]

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! 👍😎

[@chodcarpenter3956]

You should call your track "track sparrow" cause it beat the KRAKAEN 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@gaffle7646]

[@trevorwhalen74]

USA Minnesota what a awesome truck!

[@fernandounzueta6202]

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

[@RCKING1]

Has anyone done a full trophy truck build on one of these yet?

[@cdcderby]

Quite a few guys are retrofitting losi 5ive t rollcages with 30 deg north body panels on these.

[@V843v3r]

_RC_KING_ yes,I have,search: xianchen liu on KZbin,I've uploaded a few video

[@JustRockRC]

_RC_KING_ yes check out the kraken vekta Facebook group. Lots of awesome information in there.

[@ghmakes7853]

Good job man. Looks Awesome! I'd love to do a 5th Formula Off-Road one day...

[@stevenwinstead8658]

Oh man that KRAKEN looks awesome!!!!!!!

[@ShenRC]

That's really nice! Don't want a big rig running on pogo stick shocks with out oil like how some of the tamiya kits come!

[@marcustatro7387]

why not put bigger tires on

[@67168]

1) It'd probably make it more prone to breakage & 2) Bigger tires would make it less torquey

[@thatoneswedishguy6295]

u need biger wheels bro

[@rodcognito002]

Wish I had a rc buddy. Beautiful build.

[@TheBlewzmann]

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

[@DavidGamero]

360p early squad

[@DavidGamero]

still watching lol

[@Tyler.2488]

no offence i hate the look. of it i like the baja 5bs fav 1/5 scale

[@MyPuppers]

you guys always put on a fantastic show !

[@slimfunk2275]

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!

[@seansepulveda430]

That thing looks so ugly with those tiny rims and tires!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@adilator]

nice truck but that shiny rear axle is kinda ugly.

[@MediumWolf227]

adilator chill dog

[@prideandjoyrc2051]

That was awesome!!!

[@JOHND_RC]

Awesome 1/5 scale!!

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

*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 🚂

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

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??

[@B.wilk89]

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

[@RCArsenal]

9:10....awesome dub in lol. Thumbs up on the build and rig!

[@stevejacobs9723]

You could tell uguy were excited about the build!!

[@datdude500000]

Inspiring! Thanks fellas!!

[@royarsey5429]

that is one BAD-RAD build...so cool..! thanks for showing us ..

[@mgpcustoms4494]

@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

[@evtek3962]

MGP CUSTOMS good tip but I can't stand a smelly container after. hard to have in the truck cab you know.

[@mgpcustoms4494]

I hear ya there

[@mikejones2562]

I love how it sounds like a dirtbike.

[@CentralPAMountainRiders]

that thing is absolutely sick looking!! and castor 927 mix smells awesome!!

[@evtek3962]

Central PA BMX/MX Riders I fully agree.

[@rookie101_]

[@troyt3552]

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.

[@evtek3962]
