|  Comp. level How many of you actually use the WK axles at the comp level? This forum seems to just be loaded with almost stock bashers and such. |

| I don't know about Comp worthy WK's... but I've seen plenty of trail rigs and scalers. When mine shows up it will be stock for a small time while I continue to plan out my scale/trail rig. |

| I've been running the axles and tranny since I bought mine, we have 'comps' almost every 2 weeks and I like to think I'm pretty hard on my tuber. I've got a RCE and a 45T Integy which equals a ton of wheel speed and enough torque to crawl along slowly, I've bound up the tires(more than one or two on occasion) and lauched it off some nice rocks, never had anything break so far. Now, when I say comps I mean local comps, we have a total of 4 trucks including myself that run and we try to make our courses very difficult to test ourselves and our rigs. We might not stick to the rules completely but we do try to judge each other as evenly as possible. I think the main problem people see with the WK is the axles seem to be slightly wider than others, but it's all in the set-up and the driver IMO. If your going to be hard on your equipment expect to break things....I have to say though, I think I've been especially hard on my WK and it hasn't let me down yet(knocking on wood  )... |

| Ive been in one comp and the axles are alittle wide, you just gotta learn how to handle them. Ive also bashed the heck out of them and no cracks or anything.  |

| I run my truck for comps too and it is a little wide but you just have to learn how to drive it. But now that i have 2 different wheel set ups it fine. |

| No one that I have seen(2.2) can climb that rock my truck is on over 11" wide. There was a pimpcane 2.2 there with like 6"of belly clearance but was 12" wide that couldnt do it last time. This time he came he climbed it with ease because he changed his track width to as narrow as possible. still, width could help in lots of places, just not at our spot |

| Very comp worthy axle. Proper offset to the wheels is the key to getting the wk axle to an acceptable width to run comp courses. Billetworks makes some killer beadlocks that would do the job. |

Tires are weighted too. I just used stick on wheel weights. The axle housings are nice and flat, so I just stuck it on. Honestly I'm surprised it's stayed this long. | |

| well mine were the stick ons but i had to take them off my Erickson bead locks because i broke one and had to send it back for the lifetime warranty. I was thinking of glueing them on with a hot glue gun. |
