Well, today I decided to charge up a battery, and give the wheely king his due. I thought, well, they can submurge theirs with no problems, I tryed it, it did not work, the esc is very glitchy and it drives me nutz. I thought well, they can drive theirs off an 80 foot cliff several times and break a shock. I tryed the house. Here is the aftermath of 4 attempts. 1 of which was with my ramp. Enjoy, sorry I did not have a camera person. Still runs though!!!:D
Pic 1...front shocks
pic 2...frame rail
pic 3...under carrage shot, check out the front links, and notice there is no front drive line
pic 4...the sheet of aluminum for the new frame rails, was gonna be used for a emaxx chassis, but will now be used for my WK and for the custom crawler I will be building soon. Maybe even a custom chassis for a custom buggy/truggy, who knows...

Normaly I would agree. I may upgrade shock, will upgrade the motor cause I have one handy, but I think for the most part, I will keep her as stock as I can cause I like the close to scale look of this truck. I thought about building me a chassis, but the more I think about it, it will take away from the only thing I like about the truck. Maybe I will upgrade the steering links and make it 4 wheel steer and lock the diffs.

Anyone wanna tig weld a tube chassis for me? I will cover cost plus shipping, plus $50 bucks for the labor. But needs to be good work, not something that I can do with elmers glue and popsicle sticks.
