Default sw3 Wk comp crawler

Getting back into crawling and got a pretty good deal on a complete rtr comp ready wk but it looks like garbage. so i am rebuilding from the ground up!

here is his list of stuff he said is included cool!
list of parts

-Panther cougars
-Axial rockstar rims, weighted
-MIP CVD's
-JP custom Rc's hubs, carriers
-Custom servo mount
-High torque servo
-traxxas front links
-Custom front flat draglink
-10 cell 2/3 amp battery pack (not my idea i have a 5 cell here i am going to make two packs a 8c and 7c for comps. and eventually pick up some ckrc lipos)!
-castle BEC
-Caste Sidewinder
-Deans plugs
-DNA four link mount
-Solid billet lockers, hardened gears
-Axial shocks
-TCS internal springs
-35T motor
-Axial ax-10 tranny
-DNA dig, set up with servo
-TQ3 system, with 3rd 3 way switch
-Alum rear lockouts
-3rd channel pot adjuster
-steel yokes
-Vertical smile chassis
-Bent rear links
-Rockstar body, betty body (dovetailed rear)

as you can see it needs work but what crawler dose not

***MY PLANS***
Bta steering (i am going to try dont know if its do able)
i want to get that servo low on the axle and run the servo on one side with the batt on the other side and run the elecs either on the chassis or rear axle.
Sw3 chassis (i picked one up off ebay)
ditch the droop and run revo shocks to get it low!
new radio gear (m8 spektrum!)
new revo links (steel for some weight down low!)
clean up wiring

Chassis should be here in the next day or so it shipped from inside cali and should only take one two days so wednesday the latest.

here is a pic he listed in his auction for the sw3


here is a pic if the wk i bought.
*its ok i got a deal

The 510 body is awesome. When I was a kid, we had one with LSD and SSS heads. Quick little sucker!
