Dude that's sweet! Get a 55T lathe motor for it and it'll crawl about anything, ask stratcat! Very cool man! Big Grin

quick build** lots o pics - firesprink281 - 08-18-2007

well, i re built the front already. i used rear t-maxx links and gained another inch (insert joke here) and a whole lot of articulation. i can get the wheel over the can w/o the rears coming off the ground.

im going to try the e-savage gears first. if i dont like that im going for the lathe motor. can you recommend and brand?

Lathe motor=integy....omg the only thing you should EVER buy from them haha.

quick build** lots o pics - maxximum_44 - 08-18-2007

Thats pretty cool Smile

quick build** lots o pics - bubbaracing - 08-18-2007

Yeah, Ponch beat me to it! INTEGY! lol

quick build** lots o pics - HAGASAN - 08-19-2007

Dude Sweet!! Thats some articulation. Nice mods.

quick build** lots o pics - thenewguy821 - 08-19-2007

Looks great...

Now the real question. I'm sure we all have seen (or heard) how much $ it takes to get a clod set up for crawling, and have decent articulation. What did it cost in mods to the Wheely King to get to that point?

quick build** lots o pics - Ponch - 08-19-2007

I would say $65 for everything in the first pic...

quick build** lots o pics - firesprink281 - 08-20-2007

$276 ($225 for the truck)
if you are like me and have parts laying around, even cheaper. i didn't really have to buy any of the links. i have plenty in stock.
also instead of using hpi shafts ($26 for one set and $15 for another) you can just get one pack of traxxas t-max half shafts, that way you can use the metal crosses rather then the plastic hpi ones. and save a hell of a lot of $

after looking at the axial, i changed the shock location and made a servo mount for the front and got this.
