|  Hustler style full droop Wheelie King
I've been working on this for a while now, finally getting it close to done. Still need to work on the suspension geometry a bit, and make the body panels. It has a 14" WB, I might shorten it up to 13" as it hangs up pretty easy. Also lower the bottom links to the bottom of the chassis. I am running a 3 cell 2100 lipo, and an AXI 2808 outrunner, it has lots of power, enough to snap axles. It does heat up the Mamba 25 tho. Since nobody has axle shafts in stock, I dug through my junk box and found some old Tmax CVd's. They are the right diameter, but there isn't enough room in the stock hub for the bigger bearings. So, I took some spare Tmax hubs, cut them down and made some adapter plates, and presto, HD CVD's for my WK axles.        |

Hey, thanks for the compliments. The track width is 10.75 inches, with the narrowed maxx mashers. I also have some 2.2 moabs, but they look really tiny on those axles. I was thinking about cutting out the sidewalls from the 2.2's and gluing them on the maxx mashers, but now I have the maxx hubs, so I don't think it will work. I am working on some pics of the axle mounts, and the servo mount right now, just have to upload them.

Here are some pics of the aluminum lower link mounts. They clamp the axle pretty tight, and hang down less than the stock mounts turned sideways.     Pics of servo mount. I might add in a brace from the front of the servo to the axle just to make sure nothing moves.   Pic of tranny plate.  All were made from 1/4, 1/8 and 1/16 inch aluminum, drill press, hack saw, files and a homemade belt sander. As you can see, I have been doing some testing, and it is a little muddy right now. Also, please ignore the wiring mess, I only temporarily mounted everything for testing, I will be making a lexan shelf for the electronics, and hiding most of the wires. |

Thanks, it just takes a little elbow grease, and yes, they are traxxas big bores. I just need to find the right internal springs now.

If you look close, you will see that I had to angle the inside of the mount to fit over the ridge on the axle. The taper also holds it in place against the ears on the axle.

 ) but had pretty much figured that this is the only really good way to mount the lower link and shock mount. Again, very nice work!!! | |

Got a few more things done today, relocated the lower links and shortened the wheelbase to 13 3/8". With the relocated links, I had to file grooves in my skid plate for clearance, but now there is less of a chance of hanging up on the skid plate. The rear links should be very close to 100% anti-squat now. It's amazing how any little change can screw up your anti-squat. I also brazed on some body panel mounts.        |
