Well i've seen some of the war pig builds here and im now hooked here is a list of the stuff i will using for the build. If you guys see somthing that i can do differently or anything along those lines lmk i want this to be my best build yet. Thanks -Mike

wk (for the base)
stampede trans
1/6 ranger hard body
2.2 beadlocks (not shure which ones)
2.2 mashers
45t lathe motor
moped esc
traxxas tq3 radio gear
high torque servo (which ever one i can get a deal on)
Traxxas shafts?
leafs up front 4 link in rear

I think thats about it. lmk you guys suggestions on 2.2 beadlocks and what drive shafts i should use.

thanks

danielk · 07-23-2007, 12:46 PM

sounds pretty dang sweet. go for eriksons and revo shafts.

Mikekx65 · 07-23-2007, 04:56 PM

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?

Kranberry · 07-23-2007, 05:37 PM

k2's are kick asz!!!! but they probaly won't fit under the boy your using......how long is the body(bed to hood)

You need to run a K2 chassis for it to be a Warpig.

Warpig makeover, I'm sick of Fords

The K2 chassis is a great performer.

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.

cembom · 07-23-2007, 07:34 PM

maybe he can have a doudle long cut lol. Leave 2 inches before each bumper/

Mikekx65 · 07-23-2007, 07:35 PM

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?

I was about to say Mike. Revo shafts are beefy. Cant wait to see this thing done. Its going to look sweet.

eric113 · 07-24-2007, 09:11 AM

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

Mikekx65 · 07-24-2007, 09:23 AM

well since i like the k2 chassis so much i wont be using the ranger body ill be using a f-100 body for this build and ill use the ranger body on my maxx super claxx crawler instead. And thanks for all the tips guys.

ca mon keep it and make a custom chasis it dont have to be a k2 it could be your own twist on a warpig......pretty please

Mikekx65 · 07-25-2007, 06:34 AM

man i would love to but then it aint a real war pig ya know? I am getting the body soon so i will compar it to the k2's size ans see if it can work. maybe i can estend it a little or somthing.

clod booster · 07-25-2007, 11:07 AM

maybe you could ask for a custom length k2, im sure that wouldnt be to hard.

Mikekx65 · 07-25-2007, 11:29 AM
