Went crawling today with my custom chassis wheely king today.I'm running losi rock claws on axial 2.2 beadlocks.It has been streched to 13.5' wb at the moment.
The driveshaft's are revo in the front and e-maxx in the rear.
An integy 55 turn motor controled with a novak rooster esc powered by a 6 cell sxs ib4200 bat pack moves it along.

I drew up the chassis on paper and cut it from some alum sheet.I have pre drilled holes to mount a wheely king tranny or a stampede tranny,also many holes for shock and link mount locations.

I also built a new servo mount on the front axle.A traxxas 2055 servo does the steering for now and hold's up ok but a mg servo is in the future.I don't run a servo saver.I will be making some new steering links with some alum rod very soon the stock one is to flexable.

Enjoy the pics comments welcomed!

Here are a couple more

Nice build.............................

Great design, that looks like it was cnc machined !
slick job

wow! You get top honors for uniqueness! Looks like something out of a sci fi movie! Got enough holes there! Looks like it was shot with buckshot. I wanna build my own chassis but that took some skill. Nice ride! Isnt it a little top heavy with all that aluminum up so high? Guess the 13+ wheelbase helps there. Keep up the good work!

I would have to say thats one killer ride you got there. Nice job!!!

all i can say is amazing

Thank you all.
I want to add some color to the chassis.Does anyone have any exp with dyeing alum?I was thinking of useing some RIT dye to stain the chassis.
I'll post up some pics of the steering links as soon as they are done.

I can't say if it is really top heavy because i haven't got anything to compare it to but it climbs very well.50* inclines are no problem and i can do a u turn on a 50* incline with out tipping over so it side hill performance seems ok.any suggestions?

I've heard that you can use the ryt die for clothing. Just make it like the instructions say to, then hook the positive of the battery to your parts and the negitive in the water. But I don't know how long they need to be in there though.

Thanks for that idea GOT ROCKS i'll do some experimenting on some scrap.

I had to pick up some rod ends to make my steering links at the lhs and i picked up some new c-hubs and knuckles.

Well i finished up the steering links.No more soft plastic one.
Anyone know who or if someone makes alum rear ends for the wheely king?

On to the pics....

Man, thats a nice rig you built. Looks tough as nails.
