But got to say... This build has been nice to read and has few really clever 'developments'

After the last comp i lowered it a 1/4 inch front and back and brought the belly down to 2.3/4 inches. Helped a little on the steep climbs and sidehills but i did notice it hanging up a little more on the breakovers.
Kinda a even trade thing.
The little puller gets quite warm!!!! After a good sprint it does but if not full throttle all the time its managable. Even on 2 cell lipo. I think 3 cell might be to much for it. But the torque is incredible. It likes to pop the drive yokes off the front!! (Gotta have a weak spot)

Better spinning a yoke off than twisting an axle.!!!!

I am thinkin about throwing a 7t in my 1/6 scale willys build

YEP!!! They are pretty tough till ya start running brushless!!

EHeye · 09-29-2009, 02:31 PM

thats why im definately NOT going brushless. My 45T on 3S has plenty of jive for what I do/want to do.

These work great with the stock gears. If you are going to run axial ring and pinion gears you have to do it a little different.

What yokes are you using? I know the Traxxas yokes accept 5mm shafts, but the Wheely King is 6mm at the axles and tranny.

SWelte · 09-30-2009, 11:38 AM

I run Traxxas yokes on Wheely King axles by drilling them out to 6mm.

I just use the stock WK yoke. The traxxas shafts snap right on the metal ball deal/thingy!! I didnt use the chrome ones that come with the shafts.

Like swelte said also you can drill them out also.

I was trying this setup because i was running the axial gears in the front.
These were axial shafts with the traxxas metal yoke ( for axail end) and the wk yoke wedged in the other end.
It held up great. i just didnt like the like the way it looked on the other end .

Update. I have run this rig in 4 comps so far. My results have been a 4th place, 3rd place, 2nd place and yesterdays comp a 1st place!!

With my homemade dig this rig has been crawling great for me!!
Going to keep fine tuning it!!

Thanks Josh!! I had a great time. Looking forward to coming out there again next time in home!!

Looks good, have you had any interference between the motor and front driveshaft?

Just a little. But only if you press the suspension straight down. if it is flexing side to side its ok.
If i drop down to a 90t spur and go up to a 13 pinion it would give me more clearance. (Running 12/96 now)
