heres a mod list:
Integy 45t motor
Widow King chassis (courtesy of Offroader5)
delrin links made by Dan at Finish Line R/C
Quik Steel locked axles
New Era front mount steering kit

cuz the one I saw on new era doesn't fit the one you have in the picture

[Issyt]

Here it is for ya.
http://www.neweramodels.com/item.cgi...=&part_id=8887
its has this parts description. servo axle mount steering and links for wheely king axles, relocates servo to axle for positive steering, includes links and servo saver.
its easy to miss, they dont make it easy for you to find

[demonoid369]

what does it do for the upper arm mount? like does it just screw in underneath it or what? the servo mount if you don't understand what I mean, how does it connect to the axle?

[slravene]

Thats nice.

Do you know how much the additions costed? (If you dont mind)

Trying to get an idea of how much to spend.

[Issyt]

the servo mount goes in place of the stock upper link mount on the axle. wish i would have thought i just took it off last nite to do some work would have been a perfect opertunity to get some good pics but i will try to get some pics for you to show.

as for how much everything cost heres a list of parts and prices:
integy motor $20
Novak rooster crawler esc $90
servo mount $36
chassis $0
wheels and tires $80
new axial tranny just added $49
i'll leave the math to you i hate thinking of how much ive spent on this thing

[rockeater]

very nice spot to run on....

[demonoid369]

so do you need to replace the upper link? or does it come with it's own mount?

[Issyt]

I used tamiya upper link mounts but had to modify slightly. i will need to post pictures to show what i did.

Hey man looks like a good build. Just going to let you know I am from the denver area and kick it a ton out at red rocks. Judging from the pictures you are up in the park I.E. not in the usual spot. In the colorado section it has a sticky with crawling spots. The rocks we frequent are those at entrance #3 down by morrison. So what i reccomend is that you stay out of the park to keep the fuzz off your back. If you need any info on how to get there or need someone to crawl with hit me up with a pm or get back on this post.

[Issyt]

I go to this spot because it is easy to get to and i never have to climb on the rocks. so no problem with the fuzz. ive never seen any one at the spot you are talking about and ive been up there many of times. this may be because the only days i have off are thursday and friday. this spot just seems more convenient to me.

LOL, too many people say that. Great album though - when he was better IMO.

Beautiful place as well, we wheel our 1:1's near there, lots of great trails.
