hi everyone,

i am sure this must be a repost but i have been scouring this forum for days and i am still very confused at what to do. i want to get into crawling with a Wheely King the new 4x4 version. what parts am i going to need to make it into a crawler. i am looking for a way to do this as painless as possible.

revo pushods
t-maxx driveshafts

but which ones i dont know

what else may i need i am already very into rc cars and have been doing it for awhile but never really got into off-road and certainly not crawling but i am very interested and would like as much help as possible to get this show on the road.

thank you very much in advance for your time and look foward to the help that i have been reading in this forum to date.

john

you dont need much to get it into a nice crawler.. new tires, a lathe motor and new shock and oil and different springs. accredit this info to dezfan on rcuniverse.
after the inital purchase of 208 -25$ discount if you got it, and your in about 270 for a decent crawler. thank hpi for giving you alot of useable equipment.

I have on the way and plan on having it as a budget scaler.

from this site is there a good chassis kit that would work really well with the parts from a WK 4x4 or is this not the way to go with a WK. i just want to build a good (by Good i mean really good but not totally comp) rig that can take me to the top of the rocks. i dont know where to go with this hobby i want to get into it but i dont want to get a truck thats going to turn me off to it so i want to get into it with a good rig not some cheesy cr*p you know what i mean i hope. well thanks everyone.

That is the most painless way to make a crawler. The best option is to make or buy a new frame, but this is the easiest.
