My First Build "WK Manta"

[chunk421]

So its been a long time since I posted here but I'm still running the same rig with a few changes.

I have swapped the WK axles for the narrower Axial AX-10 Scorpion axles.
Steering servo is a Traxxas 2075.
Shocks are some aluminum body Traxxas shocks, I forgot the part numbers.
I ditched the WK ESC for a Traxxas XL-5 with LiPo cut off and waterproof.
Drive shafts are from a first gen Traxxas E-Maxx, no more ugly copper shafts.
Upgraded the receiver to a waterproof Spektrum 2.4Ghz SR200WP.
The Battery is a Turnigy nano-tech 2200mah 2S 40~80C Lipo, I get great run times.
I added a bunch of stick on lead weights in the wheels.
I also trimmed up the body a bit.

I'm thinking the next change I make is going to be a true 4 link setup. I'm looking at the Axial Bender Customs 4 Link Plate. Then I will Probably add an Axial AX-10 Scorpion Rear Steer Kit and Spektrum Waterproof 3ch Rx, since I will have the servo plate on the rear. Here are some updated pics. Next time I'm out on the rocks I'll get some action shots

I would reccomend a set of pitbulls instead of the rock lizards. Ive had both on wk crawler and there is no comparing. The pitbulls are awesome. Hank
