Re: wheely king...crawling is cool kids...
I bent a shock on mine. Dont know how though 
. Its not like I was trying to do back flips :P. Going to get threaded alluminum shocks for it soon.
The WK can be turned into a much better crawler than the AX10. Go over to RCcrawler and see how many threads there are about the AX10s transmission parts breaking. Another problem with teh AX10m is torque twist. I was going to get one but reasearch has tough me better.
WK for the win!! $60 in parts yields a solid crawler.
Julio, if your diffs are locked turn the two front tires around. It will help with grabbing teh rocks better. To lock the diffs I'm just going to drop some hot glue in it. Then just pick up some 4-40 all thread, 3/8 brake line, and ball ends and streach it to about 12.5 inches or so. I might get the wheel spacers but i'm going to give it a go like this firts.
I'll post picts when its all done.

Are you on rccrawler.com yet? I might be this summer if carpet races drop off during the sunny months.
Shocks and springs on a crawler are for wussies
