Well I have been drooling over everyones WK's for a while now. So I went out and bought one, now that the prices are so good, and cuz my lhs finally got one.I bashed the hell out of it for about a month. I was a little limited cuz it's winter up here, and the snow is not that fun to play in (too deep)Well after I bashed it , I decided it was time to slow down and try making my WK a little scalish. lengthened the wb to 11.25 " cuz it looks good on the body. The body is from a crappy new bright rockcrawler I am sure you all have seen. But I like it better than the stock body. here are some picks I hope you like it, and any suggestions are much appreciated.

Lots of mods to come.
55t integy motor on order.
96t-16t gearing ready to put in
new esc (can't really decide at this time)
better battery
soon to be axle mounted steering servo
lots of scale stuff.(bumpers,lights,cans,tools.)
In the future I will be trying my hand at building a tube chassis for both a rubicon hpi body and a bronco hpi body. I like them both to much to decide on one.

Looks like he used the stock body mounts and drilled holes in the body and pinned it.

H1guy · 01-08-2008, 09:43 AM

yeah that is what I did for the front. I had to use the good old duck tape for the back to take the pictures. but now I have made a mounting system with a rubber strap that latches on to the chassis by the battery box.

ScGRaceR · 01-09-2008, 05:28 PM

thats smart...but the thing is... i dont want to drill my body just yet... thats sorta a last resort.. i am thinking a highlift style with the saddle mount

H1guy · 01-10-2008, 10:58 AM

I am planning on painting the body in the futur so I may fill in the holes and do the sam as I did for the back to the front.

Awesome man I appreciate that. I hate clicking too. I was almost not even going to start this thread because I couldn't post the actual pictures. I am going to be getting a star or two soon so I can post pics easier.

Well I have done the gear swaps, rotated the axle mounts and relocated the upper shock mounts now. The cog is a lot lower now and the wb is 12" on the dot. unfortunetely I had to opt back to the stock body for now because the fj hard body has way to much rubbing under flex. I hope that it won't be that bad when I put the rubi body on. Well I should have some action shots soon because the snow is melting around here now.
