Why would you want a 4x2?

I don't know? I was thinking of getting a WK just to fool around with. Should I get one?

Kinda pointless having both available, especially since most have become crawlers anyway.

Yes, but I like the black and orange body better than the black and blue body.

Sweet rig but a mod for yours that would make it look allot better is to put mini-t springs inside the shock body and take off the orange ones.....

just an idea!Would make it look really scale

Uhh, I woudn't call the WK a RTR crawler, it's too fast with it's 27 turn motor, and stock gearing, I think it goes around 15 mph. I'll agree it's a good foundation for a crawler, and should be fun as a basher until you install a high turn motor, the proper gearing to go slow, and relocate the battery to stop it from doing wheelies.

I just picked up a 2 wheel drive wheely king from the LHS, only because it came with a free 4x4 conversion.

You can crawl it right out of the box, pull that plate off the rear links and you're set. Is it an amazing crawler bone stock? No, it's short and torque twists like hell, but it's more capable than anything else in it's price range as far as an out of the box truck. My friend about had to pry his transmitter out of my hands to get his bone stock WK back.

Default Still undecided

So I'm still undecided if I should get one or get a 1/10 nitro truck. The huge runtime would be a dream for me. How are these in grass?

If your looking for speed get the Nitro. If you don't even plan on rock crawling, wth are you doing here?
