so i decided i did not need all that lift and let it down a bunch back to the traxxas shocks but i added about 5mm of height with a diffrent eye on the end, so it sits perfect now,

Wheelie Kings look so fun. And you can go the fast or slow route with them. One question - how in the world did you get that ESC for $40??? |

| Re: Wheely King I've enjoyed mine, beat the hell out of my homebrew CK for years and the Hearse is just so different for me, it's fun. Of all of the solid axle trucks in all scales I've owned or driven (including 4 XJ's and a ZJ) and of the R/C Monster Trucks I've had, it's the only one to combine the R/C Monster Truck and Solid Axles into 1 rig. Wouldn't mind finding a CK to build a second monster from at some point too.
