Well everyone after my bro watched "John" fix up the Bog Hog and get it runnin again and my bro decided that since the Hog looked soooo good that he wanted a scaler. Sooo me and my bro stipped the WK down to axles and tranny until the onlt chasis looked like a skeleton. Then me, my bro and one of my dads offroad buddies came up with a chassis and my dad welded it all together and we got everything mounted up and its awsome, my bro is soooo happy with it. Its running WK axles, WK shocks and tranny, stock WK links, custom home made over axle servo mount, maxx shafts, stinger 20T(soon to be a 35t, maybe a warrior), my old swamp dawgs off the Hog, and a ford(BOOOO, JUNKKKK) off of my stampede which we are using as a mock up until the real body gets here(a silverado body). anyway onto the pics-

Personally i really like the way it looks because it reminds me of one of those top truck challenge trucks and the axles are so wide and with the swamp dawgs it looks so snotty:D its still not even close to being done. once he gets the new body we will make some custom links and make the tires under the wheel wells, and get some bumpers and rock sliders made, paint the chassis and servo mount and possibly a rear body cage with tire inside but that wont be for a while. anyway please leave comments and suggestions, thanks -Wes

My King is scale and even with the lowest bsck spaceing, they still don't look scale in. I'm going to see if I can get axial knuckels on there, much nawower. Tell your bro it looks good. Top truck look is cool in my book.

Oh and one thought is flip the link/shock mounts. You have to make shorter links to keep the WB the same, or for longer, make a spacer for the top link to even the link geometry out. The fliped links will help big time in clearece issues.
