Ok thanks. I found some beadlocks on ebay for like$30 for a set but i dont want to buy somthing thats crap. I hear the eriksons are good. And ill put revo shafts on the list. i should be starting this build around next (whenever i get payed) then ill buy the wk then slowly convert it from there. What are your guys opinion on the k2 chassis?

You need to run a K2 chassis for it to be a Warpig. Warpig makeover, I'm sick of Fords Quote:

That's what i was thinking! A k-2 chassis is going to look tiny under that body. You're gonna have to build a custom chassis because i don't know of one that has a 20"+ wheelbase. |

hmm What if i made a bigger version of a k2 chassis would it still be considered a warpig? Or do i have to have a k2 for it to be a war pig?

Your going to have to make a custom chassis, the body is wwaaayy to big for the 3L chassis.
