Looking good! I am currently stretching my first too. Should be able to finish tonight or tomorrow! WOOHOO!! Do you have any off-body pics? I am curious to see how exactly you have the battery box on the front there. I see the two zip-ties in the front but how exactly do you have it attached toward the center of the chassis? Thanks!

take all the stuff out of the chassie,the batt box holes will line up with the stock chassie holes in the rear,this is a temp set up for me thats why I used zip ties im starting a tube chassie soon....but most of the mods I have done start with stock holes and that maybe a screw and washere through the chasie oh and jb weld ultra fast works killer....if you have the servo mounted on the axle the battery will not work in this place....

looks good. streching is probably one of the best mods you can do to a wheely king. then regear and lock diffs.
