Wheely King

[gunder463]

heres the current set up, im thinking im going to buy a tekin rs this weekend and drop her on in and let this thing really live, this kinect i got is nice very smooth, but it just dose not let through enough power i feel. and i love all my tekin electronics so ill just skip the messing around and get another, plus then if i really want i can run 3s, also got some diff parts on order to open upp the front diff, also going to use rpm stable maxx rims with whatever tire i feel i want lol, and since this thing seems to be going the purple and black route i think i wanna paint the chassis purple but i kinda like the silver too,

[BJoe]

Not sure of the price off the top of my head, but I think we have a 17.5 system at the store.

[gunder463]

that wouldnt be bad, i almost wanna try out one of those venom esc's they look pretty nice, i hear good things about them, oh and i took the king out for a drive, jumped and landed wrong and the lid shattered lmao, so i guess i have to go buy a new one,

[BJoe]

We've got bunch of bodies and paint too.

[gunder463]

sounds like im making a trip saturday witht he little bugger, oh and im going to bring my bouncer to show off and maby youll have a wraith swaybar in stock cause mine i cut too short lmao.

[BJoe]

I know we don't have the swaybar, but I will be there all day! Not sure when or if I'm going to take a lunch (we were just that busy last weekend), but we will be there 10am-6pm.

The address is;
HobbyTown USA
2061 Lincoln Highway (also know as Rt. 38/Roosevelt Rd/State St.)
St. Charles, IL 60174

[gunder463]

well im sure if you have some associated tie rods there we can find something thatll work,

[BJoe]

Ok, see you then!

[gunder463]

SO I GOT THE 12-14 ADAPTERS, and stole them for my pede lol, nother set on order for the WK BUT i do notice they put ALOT of pressure on the knuckles and stuff cause they extend out the WB also, dont much like that so i might go a different route in the future,

[gunder463]

also anyone got any ideas for a badass body for this truck? im not against carving up a body to make it work i just cant seem to find much that fits theese suckers WB good,

[killbucket]

Look up Bruder Trucks, or maybe scratch-build an old Mack AC?

[BJoe]

I've thought if I were to build a third WK as another monster, I'd look at the '69 Charger body and paint it up like the '68 from Bullet. That new Proline Ram would look good too, really any of the Maxx/Savage bodies would look good if you put the.bigger tires on it. Might consider looking at metal knuckles and C's too, I'm thinking about the RCP pieces for the hearse.

[gunder463]

I thought about that joe and i already have the knucks and c's for rcp there great but i still notice the stress on my pede and thats a pretty solid setup however it may be because i have an aluminum axle c and a rpm knuckle, so theres some give, wich i might have to change so i guess the WK should fair a tad better,

[BJoe]

The Pede's are different enough that I wouldn't have as much of a problem with doing that to the WK, not sure why and I could just be a glutton for punishment, but I'd be willing to try it.

[gunder463]

im suprised you under stood what i meant i must have been tire when i wrote that i left so much unsaid lmao.

[BJoe]

Lol, no problem there, working in a retail setting can teach you to understand things that might make no sense when told to you, especially over the phone!

[Traulus]

what part number are those shocks?it's a straight bolt on?

[gunder463]

wich ones? the huge ones i had on it or the ones that i have on it now the short ones.

[gunder463]

whats the advantage to flipping a wheelie king? like as in making it a battery in the rear and stuff? would that help with the mud truck idea?

[BJoe]

Putting the battery in the back should induce wheelies on the Crawler King when there's enough power, and on a true WK, it's like that stock and takes almost nothing to get it to stand up.
