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?

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?

$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 $
