LOOK AT THE SiZE DiFFERENCE! Wow! Every time I filmed the Kraken Vekta 5 racing, and bashing - the common comment was always "The Tires Look TOO SMALL!". Well, not any more! These Maxxis Trepador Tires from Kraken are MONSTERS. But, by adding large tires, I have to install high torque gearing to get these tires moving.

This video I am on my own, and for the first time get into the gearing of this truck. What an adventure and this entire project took me a few hours). It also gave me the ability to understand how the gears work, and to learn about my machine!
During this process, I also discovered that my Servos were glitchy, so I too the opportunity to swap them both out. Now, my truck is solid.
I have done a lot of work to this Vekta 5, and upgraded quite a few pieces. Now, I'm confident that the truck is strong and ready to rip!
Assuming these tires are going to take more torque to turn, steering wise. It may be best for me to install a dual servo setup. This will ensure I can turn these tires with ease. Until then.. I will depend on my single servo, and save up.
