|  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  . 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..  played around with a trailer build for a bit..  added traxxas bumpers..  pics from my home course...    then life got busy.. had a son, started a new biz and the W/K got parked  |

front installed..   the benefit to the alloy axles is the weight. sure helps keep the truck stable. first time out in two years lol. had to play in the snow..   |

added a roof rack and bought the new 2.2 sx off a fellow local rc board member BigBird for a spare.. had to see how the new tire looked on the BLING KING.... i like ... i like alot. I also replaced the beadlock screws witbh black heads reasoning is i like the look and they might help protect the rings from scratches  pic of roof rack ( painted to match cage and bumpers)  picked up the proline accesory kit and bolted my extinguisher and strap box on...  everything on this truck is bolted in.... this is how i did the strap box..  with the insert in cant even tell the screw is there  and added a gun to the cage...  |

this pic doesnt show it but the sx is taller than the ones i have ( same height as the mud thrashers) so hmmmmm.. taller, stickier, flexier and sexier, made the descion pretty easy.. back to the lhs i go...  picked up a set of chrome axial beadlocks ( what a diff from vanquish)..bling bling..yo!  spare mounted...   |
