My WK through its life. (Lots o pics)

[LSXEric]

I bought a WK as my first crawler almost two years ago. I left it stock for a good time until the HPI crawler conversion came out. Here is stage 1
(project naame started as black betty, name now changed.)











Bashed the living crap out of it, then found the local crawling club called TXRCO. I got the truck a liltle more comp ready by christmas, and did a comp. Was my very first comp, and it did very well.
Vid right before the comp, before panthers:











Got a deal from a member Ripper7777777 for a old not used WK-7 comp chassie. Stage 3. Ran 2 comps with it then I bought an axial for a comp truck and this as a scaler. Did okay both times out I had it.










Next life in post two.

[LSXEric]

Got an R-49 scale chassis from Ripper7777777 and an axial tranny. Stage 4, and its still going. Name is Big Red Hummvee.



1st comp:

This was the courses.


2nd comp: Epics and switches no go for crawling.










3rd Comp:












And today was the 4th comp with it, I'll have to get the pics and vid later. Current specs are:
R-49
Rooster crawler ESC
Axial 27t 14/90 gearing
CBP 7 cell elite 1500 battery
Locked WK axles
Locked axial tranny
Traxxas shocks in droop
Pro-line Humm-vee

Thanks for looking!

I like the look of it in these pics....
How you liking the chassis? I wanted to get one to build a WK basher. Do the links need to be outside the chassis like that? Looks a little strange that way.

[LSXEric]

It works very well and thanks.

No the links don't have to be like that, that was just mock up. Here are pics of the current link system I run.

How come your drive shafts always flopping around?

In the mock up pic they where just sitting there. The last post trying to show the link positions, I had broke the rear male shaft. Those are the only two pics disconnected.

At the end of this vid there is Hummvee in a Tug of War, check it out.

Were some of your pictures taken at Spring Creek Offroad?

[LSXEric]

Yes sir. One of our comp locations. Pine Ridge, SCO, Bee creek, and concrete canyon are our spots.

The Hummer shots are sweet. One of the best looking WKs that I have seen.

[LSXEric]

UPDATE!

Well the hummer is being retired. Moment of silence... Welcome to the V3 "Black Daddy". Proline F-650 MGT size body. Only things to change are Body, rear links, drive shafts, tranny out puts, and since Jeremy is running Assasins and cougers on his Pro mod buggy, I am too! I plan to get some pro line bumpers and she's done. Lance I got a pic of the axle/ chassis to show you what I mean... I may need an extension.

[Pete from Houston]

And the evolution continues! Looking good Eric!

[LSXEric]

Thanks Pete! It's coming along.

[chris_dishmon]

It is a big body. My WB is somewhere around 13.8-14in.

[The_REDRASCAL]

I like the f650 body. Pics of your truck pushed me to do the same kind of frame. I have not choosen a body yet.

[LSXEric]

Cool man good luck with her!

[hotclown87]

I LIKE IT A LOT, WHERE DI YOU GET THAT BODY, IS SWEET MAN. IM NEW TO THIS AND I DONT KNOW MUCH, BUT WHERE CAN I GET A CHASIS LIKE THAT BLACK ONE YOU HAD, THE COMP ONE.

[LSXEric]

Thanks man the body is from proline. It's the F-650 that fits the MGT, LST, etc.

That chassis that I was running was ripper7777777's one of proto WK chassis tht he built 2 years ago. Now adays the real only drop in chassis is the DNA pro sportsman.
