|  broke down and bought one today
well guys I starting to built my wheely king but last night I added up all the parts to do the front and rear diffs and it was like 150 bucks so I broke down today and ordered the rtr 4x4 wheely king. So when I gets here I will start to mod it instead of trying to build the truck piece by piece. I think that I will be less expensive that way. won't it.?

You can actually recoop some of your purchase price by selling some of the stock parts too.

well I do have and a chassis and a tranny that I ordered when I was going to build my wheely king. but I think that I might keep them for spare parts of maybe i can use the tranny in another build maybe. but which pinion gear should I get to use with the 90t spur that the king comes with so that I can use the stock motor for a little bit just until I get my next paycheck?

To build it up by pieces, two axle case kits are $28, two 4x4 conversion kits are $86 and I believe the hub/knuckle kit for two of them was around $28 also. Then there would be misc stuff like screws/washers/spacers. So for around say $140 to build axles and around $200 or so new, you are just better off going with complete. I have a lead on a partial custom used WK for $200 CDN. The owner has some links already installed, king bling front servo mount, locked, reversed, stock chassis/tires/electronics. Going this way I save paying the taxes from my LHS. My LHS has a used 2wd WK for $175 and $43 for the 4x4 kit add 14% tax and the extra $50 can be used towards a new motor, tires, beadlocks etc. | |

what pinion gear should I use with the stock motor and the 90t spur so that I can crawl the truck with the stock motor until I can get a 55t motor? thanks.

well I just got off tower hobby and i checked to status of my order and ups says that my wheely king will be delivered tuesday. I can't wait to get my links on and start modding it. tower hobby is going to have some cool aluminum parts tha I want to put on it like the aluminum knuckles, and a aluminum hex hub kit that will widen the track with. so that should be pretty cool. and the aluminum chassis plates should make the truck stronger. so yeah I can;t wait to start moding my wheely king I'm getting really excited. it's going to be a fun winter project I think.

Yep its 14% up here. It used to be 15% in June 2006.. lol. Then they lowered the GST by 1%. There is two taxes, GST and PST. Currently we are sitting at 6% (gst) and 8%(pst). | |

The pinion that comes on it is as small as you can go with the stock spur, unless you notch the mount holes and trans housing. As for price , I got mine from omni models . com for $190 shipped. By far the best price I found! |
