| I think it’s time to revive my 1st Wheely King!
It’s been sitting around for the last decade collecting dust and webs and allI need to do is solder up the Holmes 45t 550 Trailmaster, put a pinion gear on it, and drop a receiver and battery in it and it will be ready to crawl again! Maybe tomorrow or Friday after work, I can get it going again as it shouldn’t take too long. |

Glad I'm not the only one still using these things. I've been rocking two the last couple of years. 1 based on an scx frame and the other is a Grave Digger "crawler" for my son. I'm also digging your telluride, which I also have one set up to crawl. I'm actually contemplating putting some LMT axles under the Grave Digger bodied WK mainly for sh*ts and giggles |

Wow this brings back memories, this was my first rig, I bought one brand new, ran it for a while doing wheelies then converted it to a crawler and I now have going on a 100 rigs, really wish I'd never sold the ol Wheely King.

I still really like the trucks, mine have just been parked a while, but have a 2 for 1 resurrection this weekend, both Kings are rubbing again! Had ti temporarily disable my brushless SCX since it had the 3channel Rx I needed for the Grave Robber, but I’ll replace that with the cheaper 2 channel Rx later. And click on the pic below to see the reason for the 3 channel Rx in the Grave Robber…….. Last edited by BJoe; 04-08-2023 at 08:41 AM. |

Happy with how it worked, was just a bit slow, probably need to put a bigger pinion on it, apparently a 14t pinion with a 90t+ is geared really, really short for a 2s LiPo Last edited by BJoe; 04-08-2023 at 09:48 PM. |

I loved mine back in the day. I ran an 8.5 brushless motor and beat it mercilessly. Good times.

| Re: I think it’s time to revive my 1st Wheely King! This one had seen a ton of use before I parked it, just drove it, modded, drove it more and just flex the daylights out of it when I’d run it. It was kinda nice getting this one going again!

My daughter still has her crawler converted one. I found the crawler conversion kit ($26) way back when the WK went out of style. Still kicking around with a pink 79 F150 body, and a hello kitty sticker driving it.
