My wheely king

[BL_Force]

Here's my Wheely King. I'm planning to convert it to 4x4, swap to a lathe motor, and relocate the battery. Completely stock it has just over 6" of articulation. To get it all, take the X shaped sway bar piece off from the rear lower links. I think HPI has big plans for this design and this is just the beginning.

Moved this to its own thread 'cause it has nothing to do with discussion of the axles.

[BL_Force]

That's cool. Whatever floats yer' boat.

[fokai]

do you have a picture of where the sway bar was? how does it handle with out the sway bar?

[r/cSith]

I do'nt think jasonInAugusta ment to offend you BL_Force, you have to turn the wheeling king axles into a scale rig to post in the scale forum, just one of the board rules, maybe the mods will make a wheely king forum for us?

[BL_Force]

See the big X? Take out the screws (4 of them) at each corner and remove the X. High speed handling suffers bad of course, but the articulation is almost doubled. Take offs even at low speed usually lift the drivers front wheel just like the real thing too. I was having a blast in the living room floor crushing my son's toy cars while we were watching Monster Jam.

Do you know how hard it would be to make it 4wd? The axles look pretty decent.

Is the Wheeling King a scale rig? No? Why is it in Scale Rigs section? If anything, pit this in General.

I did have it in Jason's Wheely King axle thread, but he kicked me out and put it here. :Bows and chants "I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy":.... I could care less where it goes at this point.

It's easy to do. Costs about $80 in parts and some aren't available yet.

Check this thread out and talk to the author about making the WK 4wd. Good luck.

[BL_Force]

I think I'll just wait on the three parts I still need that are specific to the wheely king. They are on order with tower. They'll probably have them in a few weeks.

It's actually not that difficult, and may be more durable then the stock parts.

Tower should have the drive shafts to the wheels soon (86813), but they still don't list a date for the "tranny to axle" driveshaft (85258 ). Might be more then a few weeks on those.
