| King Crawler
Hi all would like to share my build with you all. I love this thing. Wheel base is approx. 323mm. Let's get started. Questions, comments would be appreciated. 1. Crawler King chassis by Integy. 2. Rc4WD Transmission gears. I didn't use the included spur gear. too much weight up top. Instead, I installed a 92T Sakura aluminum spur. Has been holding up great. Rc4WD 55T motor. 3. GPM hub carrier & CVDs. Some final shots. Last edited by groovethumper; 08-16-2016 at 08:28 AM. |

Beautiful build. Are you trying to make it an awesome crawler or mixed use, high speed bashing as well? I have not had great experiences with integy in general. How has your experience been? Why did you upgrade to aluminum carriers? Those parts have not broken on my wk although many other parts have broken. |

| Re: King Crawler Not so many fans of this modelIt can be used more like a MT,because of the high centre of gravity.The axles aswell arer not so good for crawling.They need allot of work to be made performant.Anyway i hace one,but i kept it as a MT

I have had excellent and horrible parts from Integy. The chassis has performed admirably. Quite happy with it. I bought the carriers because they broke. Besides the plastic gears it's the only other part I have broken. I had also flipped the chassis. there is a lot of weight on that front end. I also hated the turn radius, these new carriers give me way more steering than stock. | |

As for it not being good for crawling. I'll go up against a SCX10 any day. I paid 250-275 Canadian for a stock Wheely King, with TF-40 transmitter and waterproof ESC. A stock SCX10 v1, would run me about 500 Canadian, and it needs a lot to be a good crawler. Difference of opinion, plus this was more of a challenge. I know it's not popular, but being like everyone else does not suit me. I also think it is not popular due to the fact that it would be really difficult to make this a scaler in it's stock configuration. Thanks so much.
