HPI Wheely King-A Few Q's
I was wondering if anyone uses the gear reduction transmission? And what a good replacement motor providing good rock crawling power? Does using Traxxas pushrods provide the same amount of wheel base extension as the rock crawling kit? Thanks in advance-Phil

make your own links from some 4 40 threaded rod and some 1/4 '' brake line. Its not that hard to do. They are really tough too.

I use the HPI gear reduction box with the stock gearing and motor. It realy slows it down and makes it very powerful. It also will not allow it to roll due to the gear reduction so it acts like a drag brake.
I think if you used a differnt motor like an 55 turn or brushless rockcrawler motor you would not need the gear box. It would be overkill.
It dose add more weight up high so it makes it even more top heavy.
I also used the HPI rockcrawling conv. kit and made my own steering links.
