...and there goes mine :)

Hi there all. Rotten in all kind of earth-terrained RC (on-road and off-road cars, buggies, truggies) very much EP and basically BL obsessed guy from Turkey, that went drooling after crawling biz after watching great videos around the globe.

Anyhow, I hate long intros and here's what I've done so far w/my WK:

- RTR WK pack,
- Crawler conversion pack,
- Gear reduction set,
- 2S Lipo,
- 96/15 nu gears (on da way),
- Couple of new bodies (will only present one here with lot's of trucker sayings in Turkish, rest is still WIP),
- 55T motor,
- Everything flipped, nothing on the front anymore,
- Suspension placement changed completely,
- Most of the plastic sh*t that came w/the RTR pack changed w/steel rods/bars where needed.
- 2.2" rock crawling tires (on da way, stock so far),
- Will add 350 gr each extra weight on the front tires and 150 gr each on da back.

Just let me know what you think?

Welcome to the board.
Looks like you have a very nice rig so far, good job on the body and paint, i'd like to see some more pics when you get the new stuff installed.

thx mate! looking forward also for your comments. what could be done better? I really want this to be a top notch crawler well who doesn't but...

I'll be adding some weights in the tires to come, any recommendations on how much?

...and here's it crawled today:


my sweet pumpkin loved it, so she wanted to give it a try as well:

well well well, all has arrived. I had a small bump on my tire today (1:1 car) so I visited my tire-shop. and voi la! I got some stick on weights from him. used 80 gr (app 3 oz) on each back and 205 gr (app 7 oz) on each front.

tires (losi rock carvers) and memory foams are great! loved it. although I had to boil my wheels to get the glued on tires off the house stinked tire stew: wify hated it

the new spur 96T and the pinion 15T fitted in perfectly.

the only bad thing is that I recognized that one of my link heads has been twisted (almost about to break actually). will check if it happens again. most probably replace'em.

the last good news: one of my friends is working in a company that operates CNC machinery. I kinda begged him to cut out the templates in the forum, and he agreed to do so! MAAAN OH MAN! I cannot wait to hold'em in my hands and turn this b*st*rd into a really cool crawler

couple of lousy pix from the latest stage of the build:

Hey Kaan don't forget to star-cut your foams...
And I'd really appreciate if you take photo of the twisted link head, maybe we shall consider more meaty linkheads...

and what's that electronic board on the last photo ?

Need vid now...

[eylemkaan]

1- foams are memory, no neet to cut
2- for sure meaty heads
3- thatz a fail safe (8$ shipped)
4- vid's on the way

Thanks to Nathanlima for the chassis template.
GC 3 1/16", WB 12 7/16" articulation almost 85 degrees

It crasy. Some days my wk kills my ax-10. Making lines that the axial won't. If I could ever find a water jet that could cut them out for a good price. I would make up all the stuff drawn up. But oh well. That's why all the stuff I draw is free to who ever wants it. Glad to see you like the chassis.

quick questions:
- how do you find the battery box placement?
- how do you mount body on it? (I'm trying couple of alternatives though it could be good to use an already proven one)
