Upgrading your VESLA Suspension - Limiting straps, shims and more!

In the second video of upgrading the ‪@krakenrc‬ VESLA we decided to take on some of the suspension components. We took out some of the play in the suspension arms with ‪@FastEddyBearings‬ hinge pin shims (they are the same as the Baja). We also tightened up things on the rear arms with the optional KrakenRC VESLA billet rear hub carriers. We added the optional rear sway bar set to keep cornering flat and still soak up those bump. Finally to help tame the long travel arms we used the Galante Performance RC suspension limiting straps. The limiting straps are the same as what would be used for the Losi 5IVE-T. These will help reduce the amount of flex and down travel the suspension arms experience in something like a high speed crash or roll over.
