Size comparison Kraton 8s, Kraken Vekta.5 5th scale to 5th scale.

[Chris Lane]

The Kraton 8s is a BIG vehicle. Had both out the other day and did a off the cuff size comparison.

Hard to really compare when one has trailing arms in the rear. How to the two chassis compare?

That is a serious buggy..

You can't compare the two chassis. The Kraken is superior hands down. Once I figure out some good editing software I'll post some Kraken fails on my YT. A 46lb vehicle cartwheeling... flipping end to end and breaks nothing. Kraton handles like a dream, Kraken rear like to bounce. I usually run with a spare tire on the back to help balance weight on the Kraken. I'll take some chassis pictures and post in here.

I was just interested in the size difference.

@bicketybam some side by side comparison.
Last batch of chassis/suspension photos.

It's like my Super Rock Rey. The chassis is shorter due to the trailing arms ?

Yes very much so. I absolutely am digging the Kraton. Here is some drinking induced bad driving videos.
