Its fairly easy to do. The reason you would do this is to keep more weight forward to help with climbing.
Just take the axles off and switch them out. On your controller just reverse the throttle. As for steering i put on a axle mounted servo so i didnt have to mess with all that linkage!! Makes the steering stronger due to less flex in linkage. Rcguy, TCS, CKRC, Crawlerx.com all have servo mounts for the WK.

He probably set his up along the lines of what I originally did with mine, here's some pics of what I did pre-stretch

Check CKRC or the crawler store. I think they make a battery mount/ servo mount for the font axle.

Yup, just look at the pics in the link I posted, you'll see that everything is on the wrong side of the truck and you will need to lengthen the lower rod that runs to the front axle too

Or you can make a front servo bracket from one of these templates found in this thread.

Free WK servo mount templates

Try switching the motor wires and reversing the throttle on the controller.
