My " bling king "

I was given a W/K as a gift from a good friend in 2007. I stretched it 12.5", added 19 t pinion stock spur and 75 turn motor. Then added the rooster crawler ESC "thumbsup" . i painted a blazer body like my 1:1 made some fake beadlocks and grooved the mud thrashers. threw some aluminum integy parts on and had some fun with it. old pics..
