I finished my servo mount. If anyone knows how to upload stuff so that anyone can print it at 1:1 I would be more than happy to make some templates.

Status: offline 		Its pretty sturdy indeed. I tightened the screws with my thumbnail (just to mock it up) and even then the servo wouldn't budge. It should work nice when I get some 2/3A cells on the side of it.

Status: offline 		Hey everyone, I've been enjoying my WK but have a question. Anyone else's only crawl forward (like 1mph) after driving through water but reverse is still fast? Forward comes back to full speed after like 10 seconds. I guess the ESC has to dry or something?

Status: offline 		Dude,
Not waterproof electronics. I hope you have put your esc in a ballon and wrapped your reciever as well. Also stock servo not waterproof either. If none of these things have been done you should go out and buy a lottery ticket. Traxxas makes waterproof servo's and there are many ways to waterproof the stock one. Good luck.

Status: offline 		I have't driven mine through water yet...soon though. I have switched over to the waterproof traxxas servo when I did the axle mounted servo. Next I want to go with a brushless motor with a waterproof esc and reciever. This will make it a sub. The guys at the local hobby shop said to wrap electronics with a ballon. I have heard other people doing this as well, so it must work. I don't know how much heat the balloon will actually hold in. The stock esc does have a thermal switch in it so you wont hurt anything to try it.

Status: offline 		I have a quick question about the WK with no electronics. Does it come with an ESC? Hpi's site and towerhobbies have conflicting info and it isnt clear if it does or not. I hope to get into the crawling world with a WK so any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Status: offline 		I purchased the servo mount by Mico Engineering to place my servo on the front axle of my Wheely King Crawler. I have 2 problems: (1) I see no way to connect the stock linkages with this mount. I can't even see a method to install different linkages due to the low position of the servo arm. (2) The right front knuckle assembly hits the mount restricting it's travel decidedly. I could use some help perferably with picks on how to install these linkages. Thanks.

What type of file do you need uploaded? I have a site that can host it (and then post a link here) if you can email it to me. That way, it will be available to all.

Status: offline 		I have the same servo mount from RC GUY. I am using some of the stock links. You have to rotate the shock mounts. Put the links on the inside of the mounts and the shocks where the links were. If you do it the other way around your s
