2 Massive RC Cars! Kraken Vesla VS Rovan D5! 

A great shoot out from the thunder is always welcome in my cribs. I would say the 4WD. I'm just partial to power to all the wheels. Just makes more sense in a RC'ed Rig. The Thunder Kills It Again. Have Fun

"Our top story tonight... the Kraken and Angry Murder Hornet got loose this evening and terrorized the Rockport Beach with their brapping... stay tuned... video at 11." 🌩🌩🌩That was awesome, Rocky! Another nice video session with the girls. Like you said, they both have their pros and cons. But they are BOTH amazing machines and sing to the heavens. It depends on the money you're willing to spend and personal preference. I like the 4x4 platform. Lol. It was nice to see them out there tearing it up after all this miserable rain we've been having. It hasn't stopped raining long enough for me to get the girls out, but it's supposed to be sunny this weekend.🌩🌩🌩🤪❤💯🤘👍👍👊✊💥❤

I love this channel cuz it's all big trucks massive scale... even tho i like the look of the kraken vekta a little bit better... the earlier model

You know before they got running I choose the Kracken, but after seeing the Rovan run man I don’t know. That beast hauls a$$. 1/5 scale gas is just unbelievable. Those beasts rip! Someone needs to hold a endurance race somewhere. Way back when they did it I think over in Europe with the Baja and it was incredible. Those companies need to get together and do it. You’ve got to spend it to make it. Thank you for this. Amazing content!!

I'd go the vesla.5 as it has exceeded my expectations through your videos so far except the radio, stock 32cc and the rear tires 🥴🤣 .. I have a 4wd already losi 5t 2.0 with OBR full mod 34 Olimat pipe and 21 tooth pinion.... It hammers! 🤟😀

Both are amazing 🔥👍🏽💯💪🏾I would go with the Rovan for the 4wd

Epic RC’s I got to get one of these on my channel

There both awesome 👌 👏 👍

I would put Losi 5iveT arms and axles on the buggy to give wider stance. Dope video dude

I definitely prefer the Losi 5ive T SC Truck. You can do everything with it and there are a ton of spare and tuning parts out there. And converted to brushless 8S its just a beast of a RC car.

Yo Thunder, love that your bringing 1/5 scale gasers to the ring! Both are badass in my opinion, also I wouldn't mind seeing a full tour of the Thunder collection

Absolutely killer rip session bro both trucks just a screaming

⚡️ROVAN ALL DAY!⚡️ But, I loved how much fun you had!!!🤣🤘2 Killer rigs!!Thunder=#1⚡️🏆⚡️🏆⚡️🏆⚡️🏆⚡️🏆⚡️🏆⚡️🏆⚡️🏆⚡️🏆⚡️🏆

Absolutely Epic✌✌✌

I would get the Rovan, I would widen it definitely

Wicked run, I love that D5, she has that Taylor engine and checks all the boxes. I have wanted a Kraken for a long time, might have to look closer at the vesla now.

hell yeah! good comparison, the different way these vehicles handle was easy to see. man they both sound so good, the Vesla with 30dn power sounded like it hit warp speed a few times at the very top of the rev range!

You should speed test these 2

I vote Kraken! That thing rips and looks like a blast!

That baja is crazy!! But for 1500 it should be AWD.. and it would make it absolutely insane to drive!!

Awesome ripping my dude! Kraken has been killing it! Can’t wait to see them new rcs!

Those tires flex’n! 😂

Awesome Video, Thanks for posting 👍

Nice side by side comparison. I agree it all depends on the the terrain someone has available to them where they can drive it the most . Both 2wd and 4wd are fun but totally different driving experience. Thanks for sharing...

Vesla for me!

VELSA and a 35cc Taylor engien and pipe,that Kraken is so scaled,i Hope drivetrain is strong on VELSA

Diggin on that jungle tip on the new intro! Tight!!

nice ripping session, although I'll go with the rovad D5

Holy smokes the 1/5 scale Gas market is pricy the Kraken is over 2k CAD wow. Man it handles well and the stock motor seems reliable and quick enough for most people, I’m digging the Kraken more with every video 👍

Im so glad I got the D5 I really like it a lot! Super fun to work on. The Veela was ripping good to bro Its looks like a lot of fun too!

I’m really not sure which one I like better! But I would like to pull the throttle on either one!👍👍😁✌️😎⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️💥💥

You are putting out some dope content my friend keep em coming 💯💪🏽

Love them both 👍🏻✌🏻

The Kraken would be my choice. It just looks so cool ripping around. The Rovan just looks like a Typhon and just doesn't seem to preform as well. Yes they are both quite amazing for sure. 💯💯

Both are fantastic!

Both of these are awesome! But I prefer the Kraken. Both are amazing though! Really need to death ramp them to really tell.....

I thought I was subbed, but I guess I wasn’t. We’re all good now. Great 5th scale bashing.

Both are sweet but I like that wide stance of the Kraken 💥

Awesome vid bud!…I bet a rear anti-sway bar would really give ya more control and stability..IMO…keep up the good work bro!👍

These comparisons would be great with stock motors, about anything will go good with motor upgrades.

Thanks for the video but I would choose the rovan buggy because it will handle much better on road and off road and it will jump and land very well do to the ground clearance. Also it has dual steering setup, and it seems to be tough, plus it has a much lower price, the vesla is a Baja 5b with a much higher price tag on it, and I had plenty of Baja 5b's and I still have one brand new, so these are some of the reasons the rovan buggy would be my choice.🙏😇🙏

I actually love them both but if I had to choose it would be the vesla.. purely for the look. If it only had 4 wheel drive it would be perfect. the D5 looked faster and drives fantastic also as you say pro's and Conn's. You do drive them so we'll I have to say as well. The shots you get are awesome 😎 would really sell it to me. Thanks big thunder ⚡ for another outstanding comparison 😊.

I love the desert buggy body style of the kraken

Vesla all the way just because of the Taylor chassis and beautiful billet upgrades coming for that sexy bug killer

I would buy the Vesla.5 all day! Want one badly!

I’d love to see that Taylor rc 35 in the Kraken! I have the 35 and thought about getting the kraken for it

I definitely like the Vesla more. Thats just me though. Good size too. Might pick one up rather than the DBXL.

The Vesla is too expensive. If I were to get a Kraken I would get the Vekta .5 LSE Pro with the Dominator Pipe, but parts are seem hard to get. I would get the Rovan BLT RTR. Love to see these vehicles run.

Witch one would u suggest for drag racing traction a speed? an can u out a Taylor 40 on a D5

I love my Losi Dbxl-e but that Vesla is cool. Needs 4 wheel lol

I think I’d go for the Rovan I would much rather have the 4 wheel drive platform, but from watching your videos that Kraken is a beast, but very expensive! Where about sin the US are you ? Being in the U.K. I have no idea where you might be 😂😂 great video again

2 belíssimos carros 🚗 🏎🔥💥💨⛽ 🤩🥰😎👍🏻✌🏼👏🏻📽👀💯

Let's be honest rovan didn't design anything, they just copied another manufacturers design and changed a thing are two. With that being said I would definitely get the rovan buggy over the V . Keep up the great work man.

I’ve never had a rear wheel drive 1/5 scale before. Really thinking about buying the Vesla.5 electric. What can you tell me about handling and capability. Does it want to spin out or balanced pretty good? Different experience? I appreciate your time and your videos are great. I look forward to new ones! Thanks

Bellisimo that engine mounts the Vesla ?

Who else is watching this on the bus on their way to work.....woooo 🤑🤙🏼

Awesome RC's Rocky, I would go with the kraken, love the look, if only it were 4wd too. Have you checked out the FID Dragonhammer yet? It's a beast

hi. what exhaust you running on the D5 with taylor ? i got the D5 but cant find any exhaust upgrades apart from barracuda or samba. currently on stock engine with different clutch spring and 20t pinion and it flies off the mark lost lot top end though with that pinion, my driving style i prefer the acceleration over top end speed anyway. thanks in advance

Both are definitely cool but you can tell the handling difference for sure . Looks like the kraken pushes alot in turns and corner. Could be just a setup fix tho. 👍

Sir, can you review Rovan D5 vs 30 degree North Buggy?

Weird seeing you in East Coast Garb! Ever heard of Sol Seed? Family tree, check it out

I love your vids bro ..I would like to know why know one shows these things off on a track ? Even a bmx track instead of just seeing how fast they go on flat ground..

Nice video I was wondering what the top speed of these rc buggy’s are

Which pipe part number on the kraken ?

How come those rovan MCD clones doesn't turn smoothly like the baja, or DDT7? it seems like with the rovan MCD clones while making a smooth 180 degree turn at the 90 degree mark it just turns much sharper and faster than your steering input imo. Thanks for the reply

Hey rocky, lower the ride height on the D5.

To me, on these videos, it looks like the Rovan's ride height could come down a little.

2wd is for the expert driver, bit more of a handful, 4wd is more of a beginner 1/5

Vesla 4 sure

That D50 is (IMO) bear looking 1/5 gas buggy IMO. Sleek! To me the Vesla closer Rovan hybrid? Or does it drive more like a buggy? I’m def getting hybrid. Just curious!

Are you on the right or left coast? Ca ain't? The y'all talk has me guessing! As well as the pickin I saw awhile back! I'm from WV originally

If you put a gun to my head, I’ll pick the D5, that Taylor engine is the tipping point!

Those motors probably cost half the cost of the truck

If you could only keep one car in your collection, which one would it be?

I'd go with the kraken or a ... I've always liked the losi 5B! Dishdoctor or Jason's is awesome! Check his channel if you haven't! 👌🏼💯 great vid brother

I like the rovan d5 better but the body looks so wonky

👍👍👍👍👍👍😁 Sadly I can't afford non of these massive trucks plus my neighbors are a bunch of cry babies with noise especially with the noise those gasser engines make Thunder.

Why don't you do a review on a losi 5T 2.0 and see how tuff that it is.

I would buy the vesla I like 2wd better than 4wd

It’s like comparing a Brabus Mercedes to a entry level Kia. Rovan can’t compare !

Need like 2 smaller mobile ramps....

I want to see that vesla in electric

both are better than primal. aint no gravedigger gonna save primal.

I won't both. Send them to me.i got cash. U ALL. 10.4 okay

Kracken not worth 1600

The Kraken would be my choice. It just looks so cool ripping around. The Rovan just looks like a Typhon and just doesn't seem to preform as well. Yes they are both quite amazing for sure. 💯💯
