My new HPI King build!

Still alot to do but the parts fell together very well. Have only had to drill 4 holes so far. (i'm a lazy a$$ when it comes to fabing):-P





And a new wheel idea i want to try out. I know they are not "legal" but i like the 1/8th buggy moab. They fit right on, a front and rear cut standard maxx wheel! Kinda "dub city" look i dont really care for though.

I prefer the standard moabs.. Either way, your truck looks good!

heheh pretty cool. I think Whip & Skeeno started an epidemic on these lol.

Oh & the 40s wouldn't make a good crawler tire imo. To short & hard a sidewall. Something that'll flex on the rocks works way better. Least that's what I learned from the real deal of my days 4x4n.

Yeah it was pretty quick to put together.
They are not 40's, the thin wall set are 1/8th buggy tires and the other set are just 2.2.

Ah yes you did say that didn't ya? my bad. But the point was still there lol. no sidewall means no flex.

I prefer to use a taller tire with the width of the WK axles. 2.2 Moabs seem too small for my taste.


I'd be willing to bet that those 1/8 tires would work well if you run no foams and seal the wheel/tire airtight.

thats was how i was going to try them out first.

Yeah that set-up does work really well. It's what I'm running on my Gecko 2 with moab 40 series
