Step one:
Put your finger on the throttle lever/trigger

Step two:
Pull back on lever/push forward on trigger

That's how you put your WK in reverse...

You've got to be kidding

If you need it looked over to make sure it reverses, I'd be more than happy to have my 9 year old test it for you He wants a Wheely King Baaaadddd

Reverse the wires going to the motor. If you do that though, don't come back asking how to make your WK go forward....

You could put the body on backwards.

This modification requires the removal and instalation of body pins, so you may want to ask you lhs for help.

Guyes stop ripping on him, he means how does he turn the frame around so that it still goes the right way but the battery is up front.

remove the 2 screws holding the knuckles on each axle. Disconnect the steering linkage and the rear lockout bar from the axle. Now, swap em front to rear, rear to front. Next you will have to remove the servo from the box it is in and make a servo mount to put on the front axle. You have something at home that will work. Be creative. I hope that is all that it takes. Brain is kinda fubared right now.

oh yeah, you also have to make a new steering drag link..........

Saccos got the idea. I just did mine but the cameras out of town. Don't forget to reverse the motor wires so your new wheely king drives forward.

Just remember that the front and rear axles in your wheely king are idendical. So they will swap just fine. The hardest part will be moving the steering servo since it will now be in the back and the steering arm won't reach. Or maybe it will but you should still make the servo mount on the front axle because they steer soo much better this way. Just check out the sticky. BTW you don't have to do anything to the body mounts.

I'm sorry guys but he needed the ribbing. I agree with the other guys on this. I typed in under the search button (reversing the wheely king) and found this:

Simple WK mods and results

The search button is your friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You gotta be the bigger man bro. The SEARCH button should always be your first tool. If you post up "f... u guys" we are surely gonna jump on you like a pack of wolves.

Chill, delete this thread, and enjoy all the info this site has to offer.
