have a question

I just got my wheely king this weekend, already love it, but whats the frist thing i should modify? it is going be a trail/crawler truck.

First thing I would do is find the body you want. Than I would either buy or make a chassis for it and get some new wheels and tires.

Otherwise I would just bash the crap out of it and enjoy until you have the time to get the parts needed to build a trail rig.

an easy and needed mod is mocking the diffs. you can use epoxy or buy lockers for it. CA glue works from what i have been told.

then look for gears like a 96t spur gear and a 18t pinion or 15t pinion taht should give you trail scale truck speed and enough wheel speed to throw some mud!

sweet thanks, gotta have that throwing mud fator, i locked the diffs so far. just need to get the spur gear and pinion now.

How much driveability do you lose by locking the diffs. My WK is used as a semi sorta crawler and a MT to bash around indoors and some times outdoors. I know im my e-maxx, I lost alot when it came to turning, and pavement is off limits now. But it will tear up the ground in front of it.

yeah i did find out that my turning hurt alot but i am going make it 4ws so that should help. but i am mostly going do crawling with it and maybe alittle paying in the mud here and there. if i dont like it i can always just buy a new diff

If you go with 4ws than you will regain your steering, I run 4ws on just about all my 2.2's, I can't live without it on the rocks.

I run my maxx locked and yea my wife's unlocked will dust me in the corners, but on rough terrain I have her beat.

So Lock-em up, the WK is meant for offroad use.

Changing the gearing is also a must, that should be the first mod, and really it should have come with the right gearing, HPI really should have done a bit more R&D before they released the WK.

now i just need to find some place that sells the servo monts for the axles, anyone know of any?
