would a wheely king be a good base point for something like this?

well, the stock motor and tranny will give you the speed and torque that rc had.
the WK tranny is really tall, so getting in into a chassis like that one would be a problem.
the WK axles are strong, but thinker than other brands(which means less clearance)
i have a WK, but if i were to build a truck like that one i would buy all the parts separate.
the stock WK tires are no good on rocks, so buying 2.2 moabs or simaller tires would be needed.
iv read that a locked stamped tranny works well, and can be mounted low in a chassis, costs around $40
you can find WK and other axles on ebay or the marketplace.
stamped/revo links are used.

not too impressed....

No, a WK would not be a good donor rig for that. A 1.9 rig needs narrow axles, a compact tranny, and 1.9 size wheels/tires. The WK has none of this.

i know what you are saying about the tranny. the wheely king tranny is super tall. its the major part of the truck that stops if from being a good rock crawler. i mean, the truck dont cost that much, and i could make my own chassis pretty easy. but the tall tranny wont allow the truck to have a low CG.
