all i've done so far is extended the wheel base, locked the axles, and relocated the battery, what next i wonder?
I'm wondering where to go next. i've seen millions of servo mounts but im not sure which one is best.. someone wanna post pics of the best servo mounts? i will also get a new motor, i was gonna get the integy 55t, is that the best one? i will leave the electronics alone till they break. id like to change my chassis around so i can use the battery holder rather then the Velcro. i like using the Velcro mount but i'm afraid it wont work with the servo on the axle.
let me know what you think i should do with my WK."thumbsup"

does anyone sell servo mounts?

I added some weight in the front tires and kept my servo in the stock position just lengthened the steering link. But to get maximum performance on climbs. I am gona have to get rid of the cheap servo esc and receiver. I put a 65t lathe integy motor<96t spur gear, and 15t pinion. and the battery is a definite must to upgrade.

I like the VF servo mount because you can mount the tie rod on top of the knuckles and still have good steering angles. beckworks sells them

it sticks up pretty far, so I don't know if it'll work with the stock chassis (I use a sw3) but it'll be a good excuse to get rid of that awful stock battery and get a 2/3a brick pack which will mount to the servo mount. actually, you'll have to rotate the link mounts for that to work. And you'll need a different charger for the ni-mh batt. (damn, this is getting expensive:oops:) Now that I think about it, the axles are the only thing I have left from my WK, so I have no idea how well it would work. Anyways, I use that one and I like it.

Crkc also sells one
http://www.ckrccrawlers.com/shop/in..._id=21&zenid=25516f4d3861e9d05445efd7ad28101f
or, with steering links
http://www.ckrccrawlers.com/shop/in..._id=23&zenid=25516f4d3861e9d05445efd7ad28101f

edit: I was just looking at the pics of the VF servo mount, and noticed that I run my servo upside down from the way JIA's Dad does. This gives me slightly more steering link clearance. Probably doesn't make any difference, but I like it that way.

that first mount looks awesome from beckworks with the battery on it. buut i dont kno what kind of battery the ni-mh is, can you link me to someone selling the one to use? ( i did google it but it came up with a lot of different ones that didnt look like it would mount on, sorry im kinda scrubish):roll:
 
Heres some pics of what I've done with mine."thumbsup"
