hmmmm a black strc WK chassis, if you bought that from somebody around here that was probably the one from my WK.
Good looking and stiffer than stock :)

Yes, I bought it from kevinatfms on here. I love it!

Its looking good, I like the black STRC chassis. You planning on shortening the shocks any?
Thanks! I like the chassis as well, and yes, I am planning on probably going shorter in the front than in the rear, I just have to find some good shocks and buy them.


Here's a mock-up with my Curse body. Traxxas tires are in the mail.

You can cut the springs and limit the stock shock internally that saves a couple bucks and isn't too hard. The curse body looks great are you just going to put new holes in it or do the posts line up?

I'd do that to the stock ones, but I really want a colored shock to break up all the black. lol. No, the holes don't line up on the Curse body, I'll have to redrill.

You're getting closer. Keep up the great work. It's looking good.

I bought some Integy shocks. They don't leak, but they do stick. The stock Wheely King shocks stuck as well. I may try taking out one of the o-rings.

Those King replica shocks are pretty sweet. I don't know much about them though. I think member Arcocustom 4x4 has used them on a couple of his rigs. He might be able to give you some insight. They're cool, but I think the blue will clash a little with the Captain's Curse theme.

Ya, the blue might, but I'm sure ill run different bodies in the future. I have a Parma Digger I am planning on painted up as Grave Digger the Legend, so that'll fit better.

Thanks for those links...which one would you guys recommend? I'm looking probably to add a spacer and extend the upper links as much as possible to straighten out my driveshafts.

Hmm...the choices....lol. I think I might go with the Level-3 ones...also looking for some aluminum lower links too, they don't seem to be too expensive, and I think it's a nice upgrade and more realistic looking.
