These are them. Made by east end machining. They work absolutely great but cant seem to find them available anymore

I don't know what happened but I can't even find their website anymore. Hopefully they didn't go out of business. I used to find their parts everywhere but can't find nothing now.. they made some good stuff!

Since your servo plate is offset, I'd imagine that the level3 mount would clear the servo just fine but I'm not positive on that. I'm sure there's somebody on here that would now

on the one in my avatar I have the ofna hd savers on the servo and had the tab straight down and mounted the steering rod to the back/inside of the saver.
in your pic the tab is straight up and mounted on the front/outside.
I also used cpe conical washers to adjust clearence issue of the arms hitting the pig but the way your arm is now that just dont look right and will probably cause extra stress on the steering arm and rod ends to be honost.
that raminator body and outlaw look sick on there BTW.

I messaged level3 about that link mount and the servo plate. This was his reply
Hi. I believe it would hit. The wk-08 is the best bet. It is my favorite servo mount that works on that truck It does require a runner link.

yeah there is a sticky up top for the axles and there should be a build thread and a handfull of others with my million questions asking for help during the process

Ah, so he just overall recommends a different servo mount...hmm. I think I would like smaller and simpler link mounts.
Cool, I'll check it out.yeah there is a sticky up top for the axles and there should be a build thread and a handfull of others with my million questions asking for help during the process

Here's a little WK update. First off, a photo of the Raminator King with the real Raminator
Updated WK. Raminator and Captain's Curse bodies. by officertyler, on Flickr
The Halls really loved the truck, and so did a lot of people that went to the Jamboree.
Anyhow, I got my Captain's Curse body velcro'd up and fit for the chassis. Used upside down Crawler King body mounts with 3M velcro. Plasti-Dipped my wheels black on the inside with the Chrome ring as well.

Front Steering setup is finished. Needs a stronger servo though, which is pre-ordered from CPE.

I raced it in the yard with my Stampede (dad was driving it) and ended up breaking the servo saver, common issue from what I read, so I have no steering at the moment until I can get my new servo in. Here is the King and the 'Pede

The Wheely King's Wheelbase is about an inch longer than the Stampede's since the addition of the new Aluminum longer links.

My next step is to get the 4 link conversion done, I have a basic layout for an upper link design in my head, it will be made out of aluminum.

Time for an update! As you know I got an axle mount servo plate, and so far I am really liking that setup! Here's how the chassis sits now.
Tires are backwards...I know
Untitled by officertyler, on Flickr
New, more powerful servo was ordered form Brett and CPE since I actually broke the saver on the weak HPI stock servo
Untitled by officertyler, on Flickr
Bought some upper link mounts from a member on here! They are awesome and I am currently doing the 4 link conversion right now!
Untitled by officertyler, on Flickr
Also purchased a new Ground Pounder Radio and Receiver and got that installed. This Radio is better for when I set up my 4 Wheel Steer!
Untitled by officertyler, on Flickr
Alright. I got the new 4 link setup in place, using custom links and the mounts I got today. Looks good. I will need to go ahead and get the rear servo mount ordered up...since I removed the 3 link setup, it required removal of some parts that held those rear wheels in place and kept them from turning..so now they are free to move.

Ok, I'm getting so close to being finished with this steering. I got another mount from Level3 today, and I am using it on the front, and the offset in the rear with the stock servo. Problem I am running into is the stock servo is going to hit the rear shock. Here's a photo of it as Iron Outlaw

Also thinking about actually getting some longer shocks, I have very limited suspension travel on this one. Also asking a favor, would anyone be able to post some photos of a WK with a 4WS setup so I can have something to go off of? How to set up steering linkages and everything, my current setup isn't wanting to work for me.

same links I posted before has the 4ws setup.
the axles should work mirrored with whatever you have on the front.
