Default Let's see your Kings

That looks like a fun little truck. I might have to pick 1 up.

How much snow do you have in Newfoundland? We've had WAY too much snow here this winter. I can't wait for it to melt so I can start abusing my new Savage X SS!

We also have a lot of snow here as well. Not use to the snow, where that I am from Hong Kong. But your place got more. Yeah, I can't wait for it to melt, so that I can bash my trucks. Also, will be taking out the Wheely King for a bash test, to see how tough it is.

Try being here in "Winterpeg, Manisnowba." I'm itching for this white stuff to take a hike so I bring out my Savage; worry free of potential water damage.

But, I digress. This is meant for King pics.

I think if we are posting pics of wheely kings we should stick to pics of trucks that are actually customized. I got a stock WK and I am not posting pics on here until i've actually done something to it. I don't think there is a stock RC truck out there that has more posted online pics than the stock WK. Everyone knows how much flex they have too, so let's stop propping them up on pop cans and stuff that they aren't even going to actually climb up on. let's see pics of modified wheely kings !!!!!

Well, we can't wait to see your's soon then. And, yes you are right, there are too many stock WK pictures. I'll get pictures action of my King then soon. Also, I'll get pictures of it with some mods soon.

Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. Pretty good how they convert the WK to a Rock Crawler for a low cost.

Here are some indoor action shots of my King. Sorry about the blurry pictures, because that day I was taking pictures and driving at the same time. Was pretty hard.

Those things look like they should be called the rollover king! What type of stuff do you guys do with them, they don't look like good bashers or full blown crawlers. Just curious I haven't got to see one in action.[]

They do roll over but alot of fun when you cant get out to play with the savvy. For me its something to work on and play with when you cant get out. Being stuck around the house from my ACL surgery, my wife picked me up one to modd. I'v painted the stock chassis, made a widow chassis. extended, played with gearing, made a servo mount for the front axle. But now that I can move around alittle I havent touched it.. Savvy first...

Well guys, they always rollover in most surfaces.

Brett: I don't know what everyone do with their's, but I mostly bash mine, and do a few hill climbing and rock crawling. But this truck is very fun, when I bash with it.

GH: Thanks! Actually they are pretty tough trucks. They may look fragile as everyone see it at first, but when you see how it performs, it is like a solid truck. I did a lot of jumping so far with this truck and I did landed wrong a few times and it seems that nothing broke yet. I had to say, its a tough truck, but not as tough as my Stampede.

BTY, nice King you got there, Mtboy!

I watched the HPI video, and those things do look pretty dang tuff, is the chassis aluminum or does it just look that way? Check out this cool wheely king drifter I found.

The chassis is plastic, but it looks like aluminum, when you see it at first. Great find on the video. Lol, never seen a King could drift. Might try that soon to my King.
