Default My Stretched WK with 1.9s

I will probably post this in the 1.9s section when I am further into the conversion but right now it just a simple mock up.
I wanted to turn my WK into a scaler. With 1.9s it has low clearance, so depending on my terrain I will switch back and forth between the 1.9s and 2.2s.
I might lower the shocks a little to make it fit better...

Was gonna go with 12.5" WB but luckily I went with 12" WB as it was a perfect fit...I got that body at Tower Hobbies...its the 80s chevy for Revo 3.3, so the lenght is 19". I wanted a larger body to make it a bigger truck, much bigger than Wheely King.
There's also the 18" body for Maxx I think.
Oh yeah I found a good coupon for Tower Hobbies you get $15 of 75 and also $10 off $50.

Yeah those are hi lift tires...they are pretty small so the clearance underneath is compromised. I like those wheels and tires though so I am gonna work around them.
Maybe in the future I will get the RC4WD Rock Crushers 1.9. I like the thread pattern, kinda reminds me of the hi lift tires but with a bigger diameter= more clearance.
As for paint we are still deciding...I wanted blue with a pearl stripe on the side, my wife wants Yellow with a white stripe...so we'll see what other colors will come to mind...
