i bought a wk a couple months ago. comp. crawled with it and got 9th overall. there were to things holding me back, steering and clerance. steering was fixed but clerance was still a problem. now that the seasons over i decided to start in on the clearance.

what i did was moved the tranny up. and cut out the bottom of the chassis. more pics:

now i know the pinion angle is crap but thats very easy to fix. any questions ask away.

thanks for lookin.

Hey. This is sort of off topic. I was thinking about purchasing one of these and was wondering if the extended chassis would help during bashing.

It helps your suspension work better but you tend to hit your trans more. but overall its worth it.

I'm trying to decide if the buying a wheely king and extending it then getting a better motor setup would be worth it or if I should just get a stadium truck.

Thats exactly what i did untill recently when i made a new frame for mine. It is worth it for the money. Ive only spent about 300 total on it so far and i love it.
