Default I'm pullin the King out of retirement.

After sitting on my shelf dormant for so long, I figured it was time to pull it out of retirement
Poor thing needed a few things before she was ready to rock.
Tranny gears(6th set), Diff gears(3rd set/2rears-1front), Receiver , Servo, etc,etc.. And a Goat 3s!


$250 later..

I just realized I have a bunch if poser shots..
Here.
First couple of mods were a Goat 2s13.5Turn combo and Strc frame.

Which resulted in the first few broken sets of these.
And then stripped these.

I have used the Hpi reduction box, but only with the stock speed control and 20t motor. It crawled great but it couldn't even get out of it's own way and drag-braking sucked. I never tried it with the goat system, don't need it.


Crawler X SOA mount?

Slightly.... I have been through a fair share of electronics.

crawlerx made servo on axle brackets, and rear lockout/battery trays for the w/k.......think he shared a website with punk r/c....it was a while back tho.......it was slower than christmas with the reduction, but would pull my nephew around in his wagon

nice vids!......i want another w/k now

i got the 3s, waiting to put it in my creeper when it arrives....how do you like it?
