If you use the image button instead, you can link them directly.... or you can still go back and edit it, change the "URL" to "IMG" and then I can delete my post.

What is your wheelbase using those REVO links? Looks good!

[upoveryou]

from outside of the wheels its 16 1/4 inch

[chivas72]

are those pede metal yokes and shafts ? ? ?

[upoveryou]

just metal yokes

[Natedog]

from outside of the wheels its 16 1/4 inch

That sounds like overall length. Wheelbase is from wheel center to wheel center.

[upoveryou]

11 1/4

Looks great, just about how I want mine to look like when I get my 4x4 version in from back order. What did you use for your upper links?

[upoveryou]

the stock uper links with a longer bolt and a plastic spacer from lowes. im still waitin on all my 4wd parts to get here

[emaxxjeremy]

great looking build. "thumbsup"

[lowblueranger]

How well does that hold up? Seems like a great idea to use the stock parts.

I'm waiting on my 4x4 WK to get here. Cant wait :)

[RAM2500]

That's very sweet. Definitely going to do one of those next. Are you running the stock electronics? If so, what do you think of them?

[lowblueranger]

Yeah, how good is the stock ESC and steering servo? Does it have enough power to turn those huge stock tires?

[upoveryou]

all the stock parts are doin good so for. all the electronics are stock they work good maybe a new battry

[RAM2500]

Cool. Curious to see how long that servo lasts. I blew out a Hitec 5645 this weekend at a comp and that was supposed to be a pretty hardcore servo. I patched it back together so we'll see how it goes. Keep us posted on durability. The rig is looking great so far!

[muck]

Looks real nice! Is it top heavy? I had thought about dong something with the WK and this has really inspired me.. cheap crawler IMO

[upoveryou]

i just put some new tires and rims on it with some bb's in them. i put a half a pound more in the front it dosent like that to much. it only stears when its moving. it was top heavy tell i put the bbs inhttp://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e100/saywin/DSC00733.jpg

[RAM2500]

Gonna need to upgrade that servo I bet.:shock: Tires look cool.

[upoveryou]

here some more pic still waitin on parts to make it 4wdhttp://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e100/saywin/DSC00736.jpghttp://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e100/saywin/DSC00735.jpg

[Harley0706]

The tires really set that rig off. That body looks killer as well.

I am glad that we finally have a semi capable rig that is almost ready to crawl.

[lowblueranger]

Any plans for relocating the battery to the front, or is there enough room? Is that one of those proline on road bodies? Looks great with the new tires.

[upoveryou]

I was tryin to do that today it hits just when it turns. monday ill have some pic of it

[camaro67]

Did you switch the back to the front for better weight control in front of car? Or is yours regular with good weight?

[upoveryou]

i just got my 4wd parts todayhttp://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e100/saywin/DSC00736.jpg

[upoveryou]

I got some new parts a 55t axle snapper and made the back about 9/16 longer that helped out alot http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e100/saywin/DSC00764.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e100/saywin/DSC00766.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e100/saywin/DSC00765.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e100/saywin/DSC00761.jpg

[upoveryou]

My stock ESC is taking a ****

[GUERO4X4]

when you first put the revo rods on how big do you think it was compared to the stock length??:?:

[RAM2500]

My stock ESC is taking a ****

Did it start crapping out with the stock motor or with the 55t? I read somewhere that it gets hot trying to run slow with the stock 27t.

[upoveryou]

it was about 1 1/2 inch longer then stock. i think its just a cheap 55t motor. i put the stock 27t motor back in a that work batter and smoked the stock motor today

[upoveryou]

This is what i test my crawler on http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e100/saywin/DSC00770.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e100/saywin/DSC00774.jpg

[joemomma95]

Nice test pile your got there. Wish I had something like that in the yard somewhere. I've got a small pile of firewood in the backyard and a few rocks pile around the fire hydrant in the front yard. Neither one give much of a challenge, I could climb both easy after I locked the diffs. I did find a sweet place to crawl today, down in a wash, lots of rocks and sand, and loose dirt hills...it has everything!

[upoveryou]

This was after it rained http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e100/saywin/th_MOV00779.jpg (http://s37.photobucket.com/albums/e100/saywin/?action=view&current=MOV00779.flv)

[SACCO]

could you just switch the steering to the back and rewire the motor in order to get the battery in the front? Just wondering.

My WK gets here tomorrow. So I dont know anything but what I have read on here.

I like your truck though. what pinion/spur u runnin?

[upoveryou]

96/16 with 55t matrix motor

[upoveryou]

http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e100/saywin/4x4/DSC00903.jpg (http://photobucket.com) just put this on

[TONKA TOY]

it was about 1 1/2 inch longer then stock. i think its just a cheap 55t motor. i put the stock 27t motor back in a that work batter and smoked the stock motor today

i had the same motor & same problems....... i burnt up 3 motors before i finally ordered a new esc......... i think it is those cheap a$$ motors that fried it.......

[crazyrccrawler]

thats a really nice crawler you need a 55t motor and for your big gear you need a 96 teeth and for your little gear you need a 11 teeth gear then your will be awsome.And im just suggesting."thumbsup""thumbsup":shock::-P

[upoveryou]

this is really old thread man i have moved on thanks .
