Wheely King Axle Breakdown pics

[JasonInAugusta]

Figured you guys might be interested in some pics and stuff.

Could this be THE new 2.2?

Kingpin to kingpin measures about 6 5/8". A hair wider than a TLT axle. WMS to WMS is ~ 8 3/8"

Steering knuckles and linkage removed.

The Shock/link mounts are a two piece design that clamp onto the axle housing. The stock orientation is pictured nearest my fingers. This is how the stock shocks mount...pin runs front to rear.

This is with the mount flipped on the axle. Here you can mount a shock and a suspension link.

Axle C removed. This is keyed to the axle and the two screws pictured retain the C.

The upper 3-link mount can be flipped. (Has to be able to be flipped since the ring gear has to be on opposite sides front to rear)

Notice the angle of the knuckles in relation to pinion angle. "thumbsup"

So, there you have it. The only thing left once removing the link mounts and Cs is to take a final four screws out to take the halves of the axle case apart.

If you have to go into the ring and pinion you'll you'll have a good bit to tear down. The good news is that the R&P is from the Nitro RS4MT...which means that you can get'm in hardened steel. "thumbsup"

so wait just answer me 1 question can it be 4wd?

 

[jason]

From what I understand the truck is only 2wd, if correct what is all needed to make it 4wd? Are those parts available? How does the transmission look?

 

[BrandO]

So will rear axle internals fit into the front axle? In other words convert to 4wd.

 

[JasonInAugusta]

It can be 4WD. Some of the parts are on the market now (diff parts) but the inner axle shafts aren't out yet.

Nice axles. Whats the cost for just the axles? or is it cheaper to buy the kit? I bought two tlts for $69 each.

I like the TLT width though. I have not wideners on my 1/10 scale trucks. I noticed most people do widen them.

very nice"thumbsup"

YEHHAAAAWWWWW"thumbsup"

 

[Scattman]

Very interesting. Have you run it? The tranny?

Not sure if your were replying to me or not, but I asked 3 questions, only one of them could be answered with a simple yes.

 

[microgoat]

Got the part number for the wheels? I think I need me some 8)

Is the rear axle a straight axle, or steerable with lockouts?

 

[BrandO]

Take it off any sweet jumps yet?"thumbsup" We need some video of some mad wheelies.

 

[JasonInAugusta]

Jason...YES, the stock truck IS 2wd, YES it CAN be converted to 4WD, and YES, some of the parts are on the market to convert it now.

Goat...3062 might as well order 86813 while you're at it...inner axle shafts.

Tranny is spooled no slipper on the spur, rear is steerable but locked out.

[Got Rocks?]

wow they are pretty sweet price too $189 RTR!!!:lol:

 

[jason]

What about the transmission, does it look like it can hold up to the abuse of crawling?

Does the transmission have a front output to make it 4wd?

At $120 more than a TLT I am just wondering what other parts we can salvage from it.

 

[ThinkTank]

very interesting, thanks JIA for the info , this deserves more research...
a crappy tranny has never stopped the inhabitants of RCC before.
Battery and charger included too! , goodbye pti i'm getting one of these suckers,

That's with a battery and charger too.

I peaked off the battery that came with it...labeled as a 1500 and it took 1996 mAh.
