Default Re: My First Build "WK Manta"

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

Check out Crawler innovations in the vendors section. They are also discussed extensively in the tire section at the top of the page. Hank
