Was that first sentence even English :-P If you want a comp crawler then I suggest getting something else. The WK is great for having fun, but requires a lot of money to make it good.

My favorite comp-style Wheely King on RCC belongs to Locked Up. Look for his posts and check out his personal website...excellent info with lots of pictures. http://www.patricksnorton.com/WK/indexWK.php


For a more scale chassis, I like Ripper's WK7: http://www.ripper7racing.com/rhoc/pr...k7/wk7home.htm


A lot of this is going to be trial and error on your part (it's been that way for me, and I've been into r/c cars for 17 years).

Don't let this statement get ya down. There are plenty of WK based comp rigs out there. I don't run in comps, but I am running WK axles as a base, and even the stock WK trans on it's side. Pretty much though, everything else on the stock truck can go in the for sale bin :-P You do need to spend some cash in the axles like on shafts (CVD's), lockers, maybe even a hardened R&P...but you'd have to do this in all the other axles too.

The Axial Scorpion is the more complete and closest ready-to-comp truck out of the box, but I say work with what ya got.

My setup
WK axles
RCP c's, knuckles, cvd's front and rear and lockouts
r2d
cobalt puller
3s lipo
blackjack chassis
5990tg servo and 645 for dig
offset rims to bring the track width in with rock claws
Verry capable and yes this is my comp rig. so go for it!!!
