|  Semi scale WK chassis
Wheel base can be stock 10 1/2 11 1/2 with the stock links. Im trying to make it so you can ues as much of the stock parts as you can without haveing to buy much. Let me know what you think.     |

i look really nice. it would do much better if you moved more weight up to the front. i like the jeep body.

Looking good! There might even be enough clearance to clock the motor to improve the CG. Getting more weight to the front (as suggested) will make a huge difference for climbing and crawling also. Throw on some bent lower links and you're there. T.D. |

It does supriseingly well the way it is. I think with some wheel waights on the front and it would just fine. I have only had 1 pack through it and the fronts not locked yet but i like it so far.

Sounds good. Depending on where you run and what surfaces,you might want to make some changes to the setup down the line. I always have to run my stuff awhile to see what might need some tweaking. Glad it works like you wanted, have fun with it  T.D. |

it's a nice looking chassis but i would see about flipping it around to get the battery up front. you don't need more weight up front....you need a battery up front. |

Looks great. What I had been looking for. The Wk is the cheapest crawler right now I believe and I love the scale look. You going to sell the chassis or just post up the dimensions so others can make their own? Looks really scale on something like a new Jeep where it has 4-wheel coils and four-link type suspension.

Looks real good I was wondering who was going to do a scale looking chasis that would incorporate a wk tranny almost everything you see is a direct fit for the axial tranny.If you do decide to sell them I would definetely look into getting one nice job.

you should sell them as a kit with the chassis, clocked motor plate, and axle mounted servo mount plate all in one |

Very cool design, It always makes me glad to see people putting up or designing things for the WK.. As one of the other guys said it is the most affordable crawler out there... I think that this is definatly true, with the few mods that one has to make you can be out there crawling and being semi competitive in a really short time.. Thanks for a cool product, I will be watching the development of this one. |

Need a tester lol. But as has been said , weight biased towards the front. If you can mount the Battery box to either front or back that would be awesome. I think it would be awesome. I was going to keep mine a monster but I think it would look cool with all ts and a clod body.

I would like to see a price on this chassis. I've been looking for something to use the stock WK tranny. I'd also like to make a in chassis servo mount like stock. I hate the look of the servo on the axle. Great job!
