ok, well i stripped the tranny on mine today while using a 7 cell battery and a titan 12t. it was fun while it lasted, i could pull wheelies while moving at half throttle.

Krazy Chicken

the damage


and to proove 7 cell packs fit, but the battery door doesn't close. but the battery didn't come out at all.

little update, i ordered steel tranny gears for it yesterday, and going to be starting my rebuild.


im converting to a true 4 link


flipped axle mounts, and switched to traxxas t-maxx shocks mounted at an angle to supposedly fight torque twist, and some body roll.



i plan on extending the wheel base to 285mm to help with handling, and fit the proline 1965 ford f100 body.

Cool thread. The wheely king is an awesome all around basher IMO.

Krazy Chicken

thanks sheo, it is a fun truck, especially when you put more power to it.

Redvanmafia

Okay so its plastic gears dont like power?.

Krazy Chicken

dude it is over quite being full of your self these gears are made of a different plastic then the tamiya gears.

Redvanmafia

Just looking into it, didnt want to get scamed into buying a rig that cant stand the rigors of everyday bashing, metal gears is a good idea.

Krazy Chicken

i have ran way more power then im running on this truck in my others, and this is the only one that has failed.

Krazy Chicken

made better rear lockouts.

Krazy Chicken what did you use for your 4 link bracket????

Krazy Chicken

i pulled the ball out, and used a hole bunch of washers to fill in the space, and used the extra ones of these that came with my lunchbox.

Just ordered my wheely king 4x4 for 135.99 with free shipping and a traxxas waterproof servo
I'm going to put my vxl system on it
It reminds me of monster jam

Man don't run the vxl system there are way better ones out there then that. I would only use it if you have one laying around. But that's just my what I think that's all it's your money and your truck

Krazy Chicken

if you go with the vxl, i wouldn't choose the esc, i would go with a castle esc

4goodbuys2

I have one laying around. I got both for like 35 buck a while ago
but If I do upgrade later on which esc and motor would you recommend?

Krazy Chicken

honestly any high speeds are going to be hard to handle. im running the xl5 and titan 12t in mine, and to me it is fast enough to still be fun. but not over powered

4goodbuys2

I usualy run my vxl's on 7 cell nimh and sometimes on training mode 50% power. I ran my rustler vxl on 3's lipo and ripped both tires once.

Krazy Chicken

idk how much power that is, i have never experienced a brushless system before.

Redvanmafia

You say your the hardest basher in the books but you've never experienced brushless?,

Krazy Chicken

dude get out of here if you dont own a wheely king, i know your just trying to start stuff you troll.

For an esc i would get one from hobby city i have the 100 amp one and its great. they have smaller ones too and they are way cheaper then the big name brand one and do the same thing in my eyes

What shock oil weight do you guys run in your wheely king?
