Default Picked this up as part of a trade, what do you guys think

I picked up a partially complete HPI Wheely King that was converted to a 2.2 crawler as part of a trade deal. It has a Novak 55t motor and Novak Crawler ESC. No wheels or tires, no body. What is it all about? Is it worth much? I built a badass super class crawler (clod axles) a while back but sold it. I don't know much about crawling anymore. Is this truck even a viable crawler? Here are some pics.

Ya I know its not going to be anything competition worthy but I just want to mess around on some rock piles in the backyard. I contacted the guy I got it from to ask some more questions about it (it wont actually be here till tomorrow). He said it has most of the conversion kit (lower links, chassis, gear reduction, and lockers) along with the Novak 55 and esc. I have a bunch of servos for steering so I'm not worried about that. I'm looking to find a decent set of wheels and tires. I was thinking about putting some 2.2s on it. I am not sure what body will fit it but I would like to go with Jeep body. Can anyone add some insight into what parts work for this truck?

first of all the servo must be relocated on the front axle,can't see in the picture the reduction gear box if that what you meant.i had crawler king wich is an improvement of the WK still could not follow a stockbone ax10.the chassis is not made for crawling and the transmision aswell.but you can try to see yourself,you will have fun
