|  Eron's WK build
I have a comp this coming weekend, so I'm going to throw a rig together to attend the comp. So I started to bend some tube  I ran out of oxygen in my torches, so I wasn't able to finish the front shock mounts, nor the link and skid plate mounts. So hopefully I can go by lowes tomorrow and get me another tank. So in the mean time, here is todays progress:    Specs for the build: WK axles, custom servo plate R2 tranny with HR dig unit (yes a HR on a R2  )Castle sidewinder TQ3 Rx/TX towerpro servo rovers HB 100mm shocks revo ends with delrin links |

looks good, you can't go wrong with black. What size tube is that, 3/16? |

Black is the best color. Yeah, 3/16 Tube, aka brakeline. The 2 upper supports "roof" are solid for more strength. and the shock hoops are solid so i can get a really tight bend. | |

Now you just need to assemble the pile of parts. and yes black is always the best frame color. |

What parts? Didn't i tell you this is the new version of crawlers man! Its called the kicker. You kick your chassis along the gates. All you gotta do is tape a RC tire to the tip of your shoe and kick it, that way its not considered a "touch" | |
