Default MY WK

I just went the easy way and bought the rock crawling conversion kit, instead of worrying about breaking stuff with home made mods since im use to nitro stadium trucks. Only problem im having with it now is it takes a football field (or so it seems) to turn it, anyone know where I can find a servo mount for the axle, or if a high torque servo will be enough to help it turn?

I have a friend with the same truck and same problem, he had to buy a high torque servo and buy the conversion to mount it on the front axle like the Axials and it fixed the problem....

rcguy.com has what you're looking for. My two bud's that have wheely kings use this setup and it works great. It does take a couple very slight mods though, but it explains it in the instructions. http://www.rcguy.com/product-p/me-009.htm

Ah I have seen them with a litle less hardware, so it doesnt look as bulky on the front end, I may just end up custom building one in my shop since I get bored at work quite often. Do you know any other companies that make them?
