I got most of this stuff off of ebay. |

I brought my truck to school today and decided to drive it during lunch break. Well I was outside and driving it around the parking lot and I hit a curb full speed and my front drive shaft just fell to pieces and my top tranny gear decided to bust. well I guess its time to upgrade...

Looks pretty good man. I usually try to keep a few extra dog bones with me. Until I go to universals that will be the weakest point on the truck. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2 |

The stock trans has a slipper built into the trans. There isn't anything wrong with the design of the crawler king. You just need to know how to drive it.

What motor are you running? You will break less if you go to a crawler specific motor like a 55t or 45t.

I own both an scx10 and a wk. And I'm running a trinity 19t and I'm more into speed and bashing than crawling.

Your right but its called a clicker clutch and horrible design. I put an actual slipper clutch set up which is more convenient and a lot easier on ur drive train. I think I know how to drive if I can out crawl axial rigs.... The RC4WD gears are cool I have set but it elimates any type of clutch n will bind up your truck bad in tight spots n that's when u start breakin stuff... Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 |

There is not really a need for a slipper unless you are running big power or smash your truck into holes and put all your power onto one tire. The original axial trans was locked with no slipper.

There is a big need for a slipper... but I guess its just ones preference vs another. Also the new axial rigs do have a slipper and theirs a reason for that... Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 |

My orignal set of tranny gears I locked the slipper then they broke, and last set I left it open and they broke idk how but they did. I've got the steel gears just not at my dads house I'm gonna install them this weekend at my moms lol

The only time I every broke gears was when I ran brushless but the wk isn't set up for that so steel gears will fix that.
