Kraken RC CEO and Founder Rob talks about the design of the KRAKEN STRYKER
 

Our Story

Hello friends! My name is Rob Wee, the founder and CEO of Kraken RC. My journey with STRYKER started two years ago at an ULTRA4 event where I saw a matte black CAM-AM Maverick X3 in person. It has always been my dream to produce a 1/10th scale RC and I thought, "Wouldn't it be cool to have a smaller RC version of THAT!?" My team and I went to work on the design; what you see today is the culmination of 18 months of hard work! We pitched the project to an RC company and they gave us the green light, but ultimately canceled due to funding issues. We were extremely disappointed and nearly shelved the project entirely. However, our friends in the RC community LOVED the design and continually urged us to produce it. I've always been reluctant to branch out to the 1/10th scale market, but we believe the KRAKEN STRYKER design is groundbreaking and deserves a place in the RC world! Therefore, we have partnered with Indiegogo to reach out to the RC community. We need your support to make KRAKEN STRYKER a reality!

We use a computerized inventory system that keeps a record of raw materials. The blue carts are numbered to correspond to our ERP manufacturing (Enterprise Resource Planning) system. This method minimizes waste and maximizes efficiency.

Eric Cheng leads our morning meetings at KRD to discuss weekly challenges and how to improve them. This is known as the "Kaizen" way - In business, kaizen refers to activities that continuously improve all functions and involve all employees from the CEO to the assembly line workers.

In 2016, we partnered with HPI Racing to produce the HPI Kraken Bajas


Kraken HPI Baja Kits were featured at the Nuremberg Toy Fair in Germany
