i've been termpted to get a Wk for sometime now just for fun. They look like a good base vehicle to use on the trails or to take things slow and crawl.

[master_of_desaster]

most definately they are great trucks...super super tough and i think Jason Carter can second that haha!! (read the Jan. 2007 issue of RcDriver) i liked it stock but i have been bitten with the scale trail bug! and oldschool..ill most certainly keep ya in constant updates!

got a spare spur gear and took it for some crawling in the back yard. well it was going good till i got a little throttle happy and snapped the screw holding the knuckle..i figure that when i was puttin the axles together i guess i didnt screw the screws all the way tight and the screw split in half...i luckly could get the bottom part out! here the pics!

hey thats a great thing you did on extending the wheel base there. how did u do it? i see that you moved the U clamps around and drilled new holes for the shocks. is that it? o and will the stock drive shafts be long enough?

Keep Rockin:cool:

[master_of_desaster]

yeah all i did was flip the mounts on there sides and drilled new holes because the stock locations would have had the link and the shock end rubbing and i wouldnt have room. well the driveshaft thing is the only issue. the stock ones barely and i mean barely fit but if you adjust the top link you might be ok. i just slapped on a set of maxx shafts and it was good to go! thanks for the comment and i hope this helps!:D :)

[Hoogy454]

yea man it helps. i guess i better dust off my roto drill and make a run up to the hobby shop.:cool: :cool:

[master_of_desaster]

for sure!! i got to use my moms new chordless dremel!!
