Wheely King classic

[Traulus]

I think i put my hands on a good deal,found one WK almost new,ad i have some plans with it.I am not gonna make it crawler,scaler,i will leave it like it is and thats a MT.I will swap the plastic linkages with some custom made links,put the servo on axle,rear lockouts,change the gears in transmision with metal ones,some wider hexhubs and throw some brushless system.Here are some pics of what i want to put on it

question.what combo brushless and waterproof shouldi throw?HPI or Traxxas?

[Twiztid Metal]

Save the headache and get the center mounted servo plate. Not the side one. Runs into shocks and what not.

As for brushless get one of the Castle Sv3 setups. Waterproof and only $110 on tower. Maybe cheaper with promo code

i got the side servo,because i want to modify to a 4 link,and as far as i saw it will bind with the servo.will see when the part arrives.either way i wanna move shocks backwards.to sit beside the lower links,not on top of the axle

[Twiztid Metal]

The level 3 WK-14 on eBay would mount the servo above the 3 link mount. And cause no issues. And with the link mount you could do a 4 link.

i sent a question to level3,but didn't got any answer,so i bought the side one.will se how will it work.i was thinking of buying the HR shocks with internal springs wich look slimmer,to give room for the servo

what motor should i throw with that ESC?

[BJoe]

I'd go with the SCT version of the Sidewinder if you were going for one, it only has a 3800kv 4 pole motor and includes a cooling fan on the ESC and one for the Motor for qbout $120!

[Twiztid Metal]

Actually yes the SCT version would be better with the lower KV rating, for some reason I thought the sv3 went down to the 3k but this is the one Joe was talking about

allright,looks pretty good that system.hope it will be a powerful one,and it's not expensive so looking good

[Traulus]

i saw the motor has a 5mm output shaft so what pinion should i throw in,due that i am limited on 5mm pinions?

[Traulus]

well after long time i will continue with my project.the side mount for the servo is no use,so for those who wants to buy it,there will be allot of trouble with the suspension.i will order the HR servo mount wich i had on a CK and i do remember because i saw the pictures,that works well wth 4 link.now i got to the point where i nned new shocks.i was looking at the HR ones with internal springs.any sugestion?

[Traulus]

Couple of months later,started again on the abndoned MT Mud Truck.Ordered HR central servo mount,HR shock and link mount,wich moves yhe link up the axle.Next will be a WP savox servo,MIP shafts and sidewinder electronics

[Traulus]

Added today the HR central servo mount,HR shock mount wich also brings the lower link up the axle and not under

[Traulus]

Next ordered the HPI lockers,to give them a try see how they go and the HD bevel gears
