Hi all I am from South Africa and sports tend to take some time to pick up if they do at all. My problem is that spares and upgrades aren't available here as rock crawling is not that big.
I Have basically built my WK up using ideas and stuff from all you guys and importing only what i cant make. But still i have a battle getting my WK rock ready. I need to import everything at huge costs so i need to do it right first time.
Ok so i have a stock wheelie king 4X4 which i have extended to 13 inches i am busy getting custom chassis plates made to make for better placing of battery and other parts as well as to allow for suspention setups ect.
Diffs have been locked with hot glue. I have moved the servo onto the axle. and that is pretty much it. still need to figure out how to mount the body but i will figure that out when i get the new shell
1 Speed and gearing.
What parts are suggested for gearing and are the motor reduction units worth while http://rc4wdstore.com/index.php?cPath=61
2 motor and ESC.
I wont be doing comps untill we get the sport working here but i want it very capable. So with out spending to much what is the cheapest most capable to use.
Grip and tracktion
3. I have imported beadlocks with 2.2 inch rock stompers soft. I have locked the diffs and plan to add weights. What else would i need there
4 Other
What other suggestions are there to make it work better.
Currently waiting for high torque servo and rockstompers to arrive. But its 3-6 weeks waiting for anything i order.
