I would rate it at 8.....10 when the chassis is finished!

The battery pack over the front axle takes away from it visually. Im thinking scale oriented which is what I like to do. In terms of performance the battery pack location will add weight making it a better crawler so if youre into performance without much concern about looks go with it as is.

Yuck!!Looks absolutely awfull!!!Pay the shipping and send it to me I'll gladly take it off your hands for free! Plus the foam chassis your making will flex to much[is that f/g?].Seriously,looks awsome and pretty scale lookin,lotta potential and looks like you have a great start. Wheely King correct?BTW the pic with the body off,there a hose coming off the side into the water,,,Jeep need a drink after a tough day crawlin?just kiddin!

id say 8. for a wheely king its very scale looking. i have one, gonna have a bulu 2 chassis soon, and will use the same motor you have on a rusty tranny. i have my wheely king setup with 4 wheel steering, its alot of fun to drive. you already have a tq3, youd just need another servo and a toggle switch form radioshack to make yours 4ws. nice.

"Please resist the urge to curse, flame, degrade, insult or embarrass someone in your post. We encourage the free flow of your ideas, but believe that they can be communicated (and received) much more effectively if you keep things civil."

Bear in mind I took this into consideration before I posted, and I am only saying this "to be nice."

On a scale of 1-10, I give it a 5. Basically average.

On the ghetto list:

∙ Giant white zip ties...check.
∙ Giant off colored sub-c stick pack...check.
∙ Tamiya battery plugs...check.
∙ Integy lathe motor..check. (at the very least, pull the horrible sticker off.)
∙ Nearly 1/2" thick delin chassis cut out on a band saw...almost check.

It still looks like a very fun truck, don't get me wrong...but if you want your overall build rated, that's my honest opinion. I don't mean it to be mean or rude, and take it with a grain of salt because who am I but some guy on a internet forum...but in terms of "overall pimpness" it does not look very clean. It looks like a fun truck, but the zip ties really stand out and it seems to be missing the polish I'd require of a vehicle before putting it on a public forum and asking the opinion of the general public on.

Nice rig! I specifically like it the best with the body you posted in another thread. Those wheels/tires look perfect on it.
