Thanks....
Well the esc has antilock breaks and a long reverse delay.. Other then that its not too bad for the price. That day I only had enough cash to get it... If I had the extra money I woulda bought the Novak Rooster tho...

Depends on your money. If you want a cheaper mod put some maxx shocks on it to lower it a little. If you got more get a tranny and buy or build a chassis.

Well I do got a T-Maxx that hasnt ran in a long time because I blew the motor up in it, so I can robb the shocks off of the back of it and put these ones in their place......As far as the tranny goes are there and suggestions on which tranny to use????? I got a Rustler one but its missing half the parts to put on the spur so I gave up on it..... Chassis wise I kinda started to make a tuber but I lost interest cause I couldnt get the bends, but like 3 days ago I got alot of ambition to do it cause i got some material to use for the body panels that will be really light, but I couldnt find my AutoDarkening Helmet so I couldnt weld it up......Finally as far as rear steer goes I dont really have the cash to buy a 3 channel remote yet, but when I do ill probably gear up another custom servo plate and but another 945mg servo and get it all geared up....Would u guys suggest getting one of them Punk Rock 4 Steering systems for it too for more steering control??????

Parts for your pede shouldn't cos too much, but I like the axial tranny. even if you got it through your lhs it shouldn't cost more than a pede, plus its lighter and already locked. Build that chassis, even if you dont like the way it turns out, you already spent the money on materials and you will learn something doing it. If it turns out nice you can be extra proud you got it right the first time.

Yea true about the chassis, I should really get my arse in gear and find that welding helmet and get it done...Oh I dont think my lhs carries the axial trannies and I heard that some people are having trouble mounting them to Wheely King axles while using the T-Maxx half shafts....Do u guys think i should take the rear shocks outta my T-Maxx and put them on the Wheely King tho?????

No, I think you should sell the nitro crapper whole and try to get more money for crawler parts. I have never put maxx shafts on an axial tranny, but I don't see the big deal. Your lhs should be willing to order you anything, find out who supplies them. Most likely Tower or Horizon. I always order Tower stuff through my lhs, then they pay shipping

No chance on selling the T-Maxx I'd never get close to what I have into it so ya......I'm sure that Great Hobbies could order that tranny from Tower

Your truck MIGHT just be glitching. I put some freak show motor in mine(made out of spare parts a buddy had haha) and the wheely king went like hell, but sometimes it would glitch out, and I would have steering but it wouldn't move...Just a thought.
