|  Reversed Wheely King Hey, all, just thought I would share how I set up my new Wheely King so the battery was in the front, for better weight distribution. After playing around for a while, and trying to figure out how to get the servo output on the opposite side, I decided to simply flip the servo mount upside down and rotate the servo saver 180 degrees. Then I moved the steering bellcrank to the other side and swapped the front axle for the rear. I had planned on flipping the difs to get the oposite rotation, but then the upper link mount on the diff doesn't fit, so to get the proper rotation, I was forced to reverse the rotation of the motor. Not the best solution, but it works. Even with the battery up front, it will still wheely on carpet. Now I just need the parts to make it 4 wheel drive.

| Tranny gearing Well, I pulled the tranny today to see what the internal gearing was. It has a 15t upper gear, driven by the spur. This gear drives a 22t gear, and is connected to another 22t gear with what looks like a mini slipper. There is a coil spring between the two gears, but I could not get it to slip by hand. The second 22t turns a 28t gear, for an internal gear ratio of a dismal 1.866. Add in the 21/90 pinion/spur and you get an even 8:1. The axles are 13/38, which add up to a total gear ratio of 23.4:1, pretty high geared for a crawler. I am planning on using an outrunner, so hopefully this will work out. I also removed the stock battery box and taped the battery to the front upper link. Now it crawls pretty good, but fast, even in 2wd. |

| OK, looking at the numbers, if I went to a 96/19 spur/pinion, the total ratio would be 27.5:1. I'm not sure if these will fit the stock chassis though. |

| Using the stock chassis, you can run 96/15. |
