FID VOLTZ 8s at BASHFEST 13 

in the flesh its a beauty!

needs a fluid change all round minimum in the diffs...

@@RCmaxxUK 2 Millions cst oil is nice for this size

@@RCmaxxUK 500k center 300k front is good track setup...

Michy Assouline hi mate. This voltz is actually not mine. But I did have the petrol version and now having 50cc plus 1/5 scales I’m fairly into the whole tyre thing as it’s a big issue for you with the voltz and me with my 50 keeping tyres on and foams in the tyres! One suggestion is to put thick fluid in the Center differential to try to stop power going to the front tyres so hard. Maybe heavy fluid in the front diff too?... not sure. I’m talking 500k or so. Really thick! 2nd is tyre prep. You could try brp tyres and hubs of course but u will loose size and they are big ££££. I have tried with success using wood screws instead of beadlock screws and glueing the tyre/ foam / bead with gorilla glue. It’s worked very very well so far. I did a video on this subject. I’ll link you it. 👍 good luck!

500k-1mk center. 400k front diff oil.

hmmm interesting opinion. thanks for the comment ;) out of interest what cost are you thinking for that kit?...here in the UK at least ( i don't know the exact numbers without looking) but at the time of this vid i would not be surprised if the voltz rtr is not similar money to the Vek5 kit.... then you have the conversion kit, full electronics and all the costly upgrade parts the vk seems to need to run reliably ( this is what i hear ever since the VEk5 appeared as several of my friends have had and sold them...though some have also had and sold the dragon hammer inc me) Would possibly work in the US with the cheaper Vek and higher £voltz??? dunno without US$ prices to go on....££ has to be taken into account. I've seen Vek5 roll big time too.... fid has better setup now to reduce rolling...personally i would not buy either loll hahahah ;)

@@RCmaxxUK I'm in Australia and yeah it costs quite a bit more for the Vekta kit and the conversion kit and electronics. I only had my Vekta for a few months and sold it. They're too heavy, just like the Voltz. The 5iveT, 5iveB and DBXLe are the best

gavsta72 I agree mate. They are too heavy for brushless really. Stresses the electronics a lot. I’m actually in the process ( well not started yet) of converting my losi 5b with the tlr kit to brushless. I think it’s an ideal platform for it. Only a simple max5 8s setup for starters. I do like it petrol but want to try it.

The vekta is not wider. The voltz has extenders mounted box stock. Both vekta and voltz is 600mm. And ztw electics seems reliable on 8s. Have serious mileage on mine now. Never had heat issues.

We need track like thst here in ny need thicker diff oil maybe or better tires for that track

its an 8s car mate due to esc failures on 12s... but yes i agree about the tyres

cheers mate

You should always glue the tires to the rim. Unless they're beadlock rims.

@@jmac3693 ...those are beadlock rims, they are not holding the tire down on the rim under high rpm. So I figure putting glue on the tire and then put the beadlock ring on, that should give it the ultimate hold😉

is there a version2 already?....

it is!

If you like noise smoke poor performance and reliability issues. Just get an old MG m8 ;)

Brad's Rcs electric is faster

Mr- T true but petrol is more exciting

Faster, is more exciting hehe Let the RC wars commence! :p

Brad's Rcs losing races is exciting?

thanks ;)

sure does!

yup... i have done exactly that on my 50cc losi 5t

@@RCmaxxUK ...by gluing the tires is it holding up at high speeds?

cheers bro ;)

Yes mate it would drive me nuts.

there is also a technical track. many like the oval racing. whistle stops to allow a the car to be recovered safely by a martial.

@@RCmaxxUK 5th scale hadn't come in when I was racing. I raced both 10th electric & 8th ic buggys at national level. Look quite good fun though. I'll have to come down for a look one day.

The 16,000mah give you 30 minutes of run time. They are for sale on aliexpress...just go their and type in Dragon hammer voltz and they will show up. I have the voltz coming and two 16,000mah battery packs . They should be here this Thursday according to the tracking number info.

Andrey Bo his esc is capable of 12s but his only running 8s lipos.

@@eacalways I bought a separate engine and regulator. Connected to 12c. And the engine could not stand 12c. After 10 seconds, the rotor fell apart. Magnets flew off. VERY poor engine making !!!! Rust inside! Kevlar winding was in one layer! Ordered another engine Roket 70120. 680kv. With high-quality rotor. But he is heavier. It is possible to rearrange the rotor in the red FID motor. Hire a video about it.

@@beastrcrc3318 hi Audrey I think I have just blown my fid motor in my voltz on 12s. Will the motor you describe be a direct replacement for mine?

@@cornishraptorlj4696 you have a broken motor ??? FID? When connected 12s ?? Yes. Any Roket 70120 engine will work !!! FID motor .... same inside. But, if you put the Rocket motor on a dragonhammer voltz, then you need to make gaskets ... for the rear mounting of the motor !!!!

@@beastrcrc3318 I believe so Audrey, it made a funny noise and I thought it was the gearbox whining but then the motor sparket and smoked a little

These were out before the Vekta if anything Kraken copied the Dragon hammer.

The Hammer is NOTHING like the Vekta......and the Hammer was released first and shown in prototype form before the Vekta....so educate yourself clown.

My Kraken vekta can outperform all of you drivers

The Ghost Racing G5 is the Vekta clone. Not this one.

Michael Januszewski Good for you 😂

as?

Im missing the braaaaaat

Hi mate. I did exactly that with my losi 5t big bore 50cc. I glued the foam to the wheel. glued drywall tape to the inside of the tyre.... then the tyre to the foam, glued the inner tyre wall to the side of the foam, then the deadlock to the wheel/ tyre and used wood screws on the beadlocks. used gorilla glue on 1 which was a bit messy as i was unaware it expands and foamed out the sides as i used too much.... sticks like sh*t (screw fix) on the other 3. at bashfest on the oval i ran 3 sessions... snapping a drive shaft each time but the tyres and foams stayed on!!!! result!!!

@@RCmaxxUK ...thanks mate

@Cyclonex1CA ca ...Yes I got it but had trouble on first run it's being repaired .

thanks mate

i need access to a voltz for that!

@@RCmaxxUK ...follow that dude that had the voltz that you filmed...follow him night and day😄lol

i dont mean to be so offtopic but does anyone know a trick to log back into an instagram account?? I was stupid forgot the login password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!

@Ryder Silas Instablaster :)

@Jordy Harlem Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

@Jordy Harlem it worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much, you saved my account!

@Ryder Silas You are welcome :D
