With the right items you could make either a comp rig or scaler. There are a lot of different chassis designs to choose from. I personally like a scale rig better. I've seen some comp rigs and it seems to me they offer less of a challenge, where as a scale gives you more realistic challenges. |

yes, exactly what type of rig are you looking to build ??? take a look at this thread.... my new bronco i didn't build the truck to start, but i have been adding to it. also here are two great threads to read... the two that made me have an itch to get and Xtrail.... 1BadJeepBruiser's Ax10 Xtrail Bronco RTR with Videos and another nice one... Building on a Budget: My Scout X Trail dont skimp out on what you use for parts, because you will only end up with a skimped out trail beater. |

i imagine it can be used for a tmaxx if your crafty. it was set up to be used together with axial parts. have you been to CKRC ? http://www.ckrccrawlers.com/shop/ind...oducts_id=1355 there are other chassis makers other than Xtrail... |

i am not quite sure what your fettish is with the WK.... but if you have your heart set on it, go for it. in that case you should have been looking in the classifieds section. a fella was letting one go for under $100. |

one thing i have learned in life, and it might apply here.... you can't value price quality. i don't know enough about wheelie kings to say yay or nay. i do know that i have two axial rigs that run on the regular... and cant complain. if you have questions on wheelie kings, you need to post them in the WK section. |

i have a wheely king and it's ok. it's not great and not bad, but i would go with the axial ax10, because the wheely king has quite a bit cheap parts on it and break pretty easily. i replaced the lower links on them, because they almost broke, the shocks are ok if you're gonna be driving hard like me. cuz thats how i bent the shocks by hitting my off his ripstick. but again i would go with the axial, and sort of wish i would have gotten it, but if you wanna get the wk then get it. hope this helps.

why don't you just get a chassis like the trailfinder, reign rc k2-5, k-3s, etc. get axial axles,links, electronics, tires and rims, etc.
