Hey SinCity'ers!

here is my Gravedigger version. It's not a replica, but its my own design and I think it's turning out fairly well! It's completely constructed of 3/16 steel, MiG welded together. Here's the specs:

Wheely King tires/rims
HPI Wheely King axles
Traxxas stampede tranny
traxxas E-maxx driveshafts
Axial AX-10 shocks or E-maxx shocks
4 link suspension
elects are unknown right now


away with the pics. Sorry about the low quality pics, something is wrong with my camera.

Nice fab work! Looks great, how heavy is it?
I hate it when I wake up in the morning, and Obama is president.

Looks good :thumbsup:

Someone on RCC turned a WK into a Gravedigger. I think he only added the body and painted all of the tubing/chassis green, nothing major. It looked fun to drive.

Can't wait to see this one finished.
