My sons WK tuber

[chino438]

Here is my boys WK tuber. The frame was built by BrandO from what I was told. He traded his CC-01 FJ Cruiser for this with HaPTOAD a while back. Now I am reworking it to get it where he wants it. Waiting on the 55 turn lathe motor and I need to swap out his servo for a high torque servo. More on this later. On to the pics...

Wow that looks killer so far, I have the same tires for mine!!! I love them.

[TIMZKRAWLER]

did you make your servo mount ??....that's exactly what i'm looking for for my build. i searched for "smith engineering" but found nothing. thanks for any info ....nice rig btw !!

Noice! Whats the WB on that thing?

[chino438]

the sticker on the servo mount was there when i recieved it. i have made 2 of them like it for a friends WK. i can't take the credit though. HaPTOAD might be able to help on who made it. the wheelbase sits at 13 1/4". my boy traded this for my other bruiser hybrid then traded it back because he couldn't wheel the hybrid the way he can with this one(he's rough with his rigs). thanks for the comments. once his motor comes in it should be ready for a shakedown.

nice bro,man never thought a wk could look so good.......lol"thumbsup"

[chino438]

i want to put a dig on this one now. he has been progressing on almost every run.

Do you have better pics of the servo mount. It can't just be one screw holding it is it.

[rebman]

Does someone sell these chassis's, I'd like to pick one up..

[chino438]

on this mount, there is 2 screws. before i put the high torque servo in i will drill another mounting hole.

[chino438]

got the motor in and made some new panels for it. i need to work on the tranny so i can get the 12 tooth pinion to fit right on the spur..

Well that is one good looking rig. Keep up the good work "thumbsup"

[TK-twister]

sharp looking truck. Getting my boy into the crawler scene soon myself. He needs to quiet some of comp guys dowl a little by beating them LOL

[chino438]

my son gets impatient after awhile. if he gets in a situation, he will find a way to get out by full throttling his rig! i have to stay away from him with my rigs or i will end up taking on some damage. lol

Don't know how I missed this one, but its perty cool! Do you have any problems with that esc getting hot? I know you're not supposed to run amps upside down because it doesn't allow the heat to escape efficiently, just curious if the same was true in this case.

[resetpunk]

i wish my dad would build me one!! lol just out of curiousity how old is your son? btw nice looking rig

[galaxiex]

Nice looking rig, looks like quality workmanship. :)
