4-40 allthread stick it in some stampede link ends. It has to much flex. fuel line will fix that.

looks good. If you want to shorten it up to 12.5" cut 1" out of the middle and weld it back together:-P

do a search on how to clock the wk tranny to get the center of gravity down a little.

I would get a sw3. It would probably be a better comp crawler. If you want to sell that chassis let me know.

sw3 is like about 100 bux shipped. I would buy the chassis from you. But yeah I think the flex is over kill lol. 70 would be alot. oh and sw3 is mainly 2.2.

I aint sure, but I dont think the crawlmaster is gonna like mud/water. Not sure though. Maybe someone with more knowledge will chime in. I am not gonna put mine thru it.

I went to a party store and got some balloons with large neck openings and put them over my rec and esc.

Whats up Hobby people dude.. I saw this truck last night in person. (I'm the dude who bought the Blazer body for his scaler).. Your truck is looking good. Keep up the good work.

Suggestions;
Drop those shocks and pick up some 4 inchers, get some shorter links and get yourself a 12.5 wheel base, this should limit your flex, because right now you have way to much. Your torque twist will kill you right now.

Well just for the record the WK-7 was designed as a Trial Rig chassis, so you will have to let me know how it does in a comp.

The truck looks real good, you should paint the lexan parts. Also keep me informed on how well the side mounted servo works.
