With the servo on the axle you can get the power to the wheels easier.

You can get these for a good price. Install them and see how the truck drives. If you don't like it then pull them out and save them for your other WK.

Thanks for the link! That's a nice price for how simple they make it to lock the diff, I might just do that. Four-wheel steering intrigues me as well.

Hey Nick can you buy a steering linkage set (for the servo on the axle, already pre-assembled or something. lmk asap.) for the wheely king.

NickRummy · 10-28-2007, 10:18 AM

I'm sure you can. check out the vendors section. I know they sell the servo plates on there. Someone might sell a complete steering setup.

Hi everyone

NickRummy as i can see from your photos you are using the Tamiya Upper/Lower Suspension: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXGKG9&P=7
I wanted to buy ones but in the towerhobbies they are in low stock so can you please tell me what are the measures of that objects?

Sorry if my english is bad :P

Best regards.

Hope this helps.

I looked into it since the tamiya parts were unavailable for so long. They're a pain to make, especially at a fair price.

countryboy4life · 11-22-2007, 03:57 PM

Dang Nick very very good drawings. I just got my tamiya upper/lower suspenision stays from discount hobbies.

andres-tavares · 11-23-2007, 10:48 AM

looks way better

how do you like the mashers? how they perform on mud rock and hills compared to the imex?

NickRummy · 11-23-2007, 10:49 AM

There is NO comparison between the mashers and swamp dawgs when it comes to performance. The Mashers are better at EVERYTHING except maybe appearance.

countryboy4life · 11-23-2007, 08:52 PM

Hey Nick or anyone else do you know if you can buy wheely king axles complete or a tranny or do you have to buy them piece by piece, no i don't mean used either. Any help will be appreciated.

NickRummy · 11-23-2007, 09:58 PM

I personally don't know anyone selling axles or trannies separate and new.

NAKED!!!!! :eek

Dude, that looks great and is just enough flex!
