Rebuilt the WK as a monster/beater.

I used one of my PPE Clod chassis.

Made some custom tranny mounts.

Locked out the rear steer.

Just need a body. I will use a Proline 07' Silverado body.

Here are the pics.

This isn't the body I will be using, but it doesn't look too bad.

I like that a lot Todd. I've really been thinking about getting another WK for bashing. It was a blast romping that thing through mud. Especially now that a roller can be had for $140. I still have all the links from my last one. I might have to look into it.

I still have 3 or 4 more sets of these chassis plates.

I took this thing out for a spin last night. It will need stiffer shock and sway bars to keep the twist of the 17 turn under control. I would also like to put some slightly bigger tires on it too.

rc4wd clod mud slingers would look good on it. if the axles would handle the weight.

I do miss blasting threw the mud. I will have a wheely king toghter by summer just for that.

I never had the Chevy body on a Weenie King, it used to be on the Wife Beater frame til that became the Tard Cart, but that's a Jugg2 (although it does have Weenie King wheels & tires). The king went right into the Tubla Khan build, which I still ain't got back yet.

Wheelbase is around 12-12.5, somewhere in there. It's on my X-Trail now.

Got the Maxx size Mashers from Stu last weekend. I had to whip up some custom 23mm hexes for the WK axles. Got the wheels mounted, looks pretty sweet. I will post some pics. of the custom hexes. All I need now is a new body (for the truck) :poke:
