Default Mostly stock WK?

How many people are still running mostly stock WK(tranny, chassis,axles)? I have modified most of the parts, but it's all the original parts. Stock tranny with clocked motor plate, lowered body mounts on stock chassis (with a hole cut out for the motor), JBed diffs with stock ring and pinion, hell I'm still running the stock body. At first, I just wanted a basher, so I baught two and went all out on the other one with an R2D, custom chassis, cvd's and stainles rears, alum knuckles and so on. That one has been sitting for a year now because I think the basher is more capable(accept the whole dig thing which is soon to change). What do you guys have?

Nice, I would clock the motor plate too. Was your tranny sliping? Mine is stock and only clicks when I am being really stupid. I guess it's now the weak point so I'll get metal gears soon. And why geolanders? Is it going to be a scaler?

Man, that's tall. I kinda miss my wheely king in stock form. They are a blast with a good brushless setup.

The tranny was clicking so I went ahead and locked it, its a very good tranny for all that Ive put it through. The geolanders, they are an awesome tire they are pretty scale, but I like the looks mostly, and that doesnt matter for there ability cause I'll prolly not do comps.

I see. Geo's are a little small for my taste, but they do look cool. I'm going camping/wheeling this coming weekend and plan on destroying the tranny gears in mine. At least I hope the tranny is the weak point.
