|  Wheely King Rock Crawled out!
well i started with a bandy new wheely king and took it apart! i used some 3/16 stainless rod and some traxxas rod ends for the upper link rods and for the steering rods. the lower rods are just some traxxas hardend rods. the servo mounts are make of carbon fiber just some blank stock dremmeld out. its just some mockup servos on there now looking for a good cheap servo to place in there any ideas? most of every thing i did was just moving stuff that came orginal on the truck it is a great starter. this is my first real crawler so im kinda new to it im shure ill have some failing parts but i love the truck it looks great. the truck is a 12" wheel base it will have 2.2 wheels on it soon, i also have a dif here for it just waiting on the backorded axels to make it a 4x4.. i have not decided on a radio system yet i would like some feed back on that? well im new here and new to rock crawlen so some feed back on the truck would be great ill start changing things right away b4 it even hits the rocks! i no the truck has a hsg but im trying to figure out how to change that? well thats my box please feed back! http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/8154/1010032xp8.jpg http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/6774/1010031ck6.jpg http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/1318/1010030yu7.jpg http://img45.imageshack.us/img45/611/1010029gv4.jpg http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/4425/1010028ew5.jpg http://img45.imageshack.us/img45/2125/1010027xs8.jpg http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/8300/1010026uq1.jpg http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/4301/1010025vw8.jpg http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/4338/1010024ge0.jpg http://img77.imageshack.us/img77/6950/1010023pl3.jpg http://img77.imageshack.us/img77/106/1010002su5.jpg |

Little to much flex, but looks good. What tires are those? I don't think I have seen those.

Ya that is way to much flex. 90* of flex is about 20-30* to much. It will cause you to roll and flip to easy. But you have done a great job with the stock parts. Keep it up. | |

Looking good. To limit the flex and lower the center of gravity, move the shock mounts nearer the top of the chassis, and further out from the center. You want to have enough flex so that you can't flip one axle over, so you want it a tad under 90*. Cool |

I would have left the servo in the stock location but that is just me. I am building a tuber right now and am thinking about using a latout for the servo similar to the stock WK setup. |
