1.9 beadlocks will help... and a larger body, maybe from an emaxx or a savage.

| if you're the courageous type do a search for Offroader5 and use one of his templates to create your own chassis. you can cut the chassis from aluminum, steel, delrin, lexan...I've even seen a wood chassis. The WK chassis is not very "scale" and is hard to work with unless you want to make a monster truck. How about giving us more details about what you've already got and what you have in mind as far as a scaler goes. Might be able to give you better advice with that info. |

Here is what I did Wheely king Trail/Scale-ish Rig, I was one of those who did it with wood, but then i went with aluminum. the wheely King axles are really wide which makes them hard to make into a scaler, but you you can come pretty close. |

| It's not easy to find a hard body, but it can be done. What's the current wheelbase? New Bright makes some pretty good size bodies. Best thing to do is measure the wheelbase and then start looking for a body. Once you have a body picked out you can decide from there what you want to do with the chassis...more than likely it's going to mean ditching the stock chassis. You can buy an x-trail as someone already mentioned and use your electronics and axles. Might have to fabricate some new links but it can be made to work. Again, the wk axles are about the widest on the market and hard to make a scaler with. good luck. |

You can also use a berg/wk ofset wheel. That will make it almost as narrow as a axial or berg. But it does limit your wheel choices. |

| Well theres quite a few. I use these. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXCEA2&P=7 These are nice. http://mayhemengineering.com/rimsberg.html I also use the berg offset DNA wheels. They turn up in the for sale section every once in awhile. ( They went out of Buisness).But they have a few left. Last Of Sale "Shipping Damage"/New 1.9's & 2.2's If i find some more i will put them up here. |
