tuber wheely king build
bought a tube chassis a few days ago, didn't really need it, or have anything to build it out of.but it was cheap. good enough reason for me"thumbsup"
a buddy of mine sent me a text the day after it showed up, he was looking to get rid of a WK roller, again, it was cheap so i ended up trading him a PSP i never play for it. his son stole his new video game as soon as he got home with it:lmao:. now i got something to build my chassis out of, but i broke several joints trying to get the paint striped off, i fixed em, but figured i better re braze all of em. that got old fast, so i went and got some solid 3/16th rod and started to copy the chassis i bought kinda. mine is a inch longer and a little wider and brazed it with bronze coated rod, way stronger. im no tube builder, but im happy with it. even though the front looks like a boat
iv determined the WK trans is not gonna work, so im going to run a venom trans i got in my box
rough lay out of everything
few build pics
4 linked
ride height im shooting for
wheelbase
shock mounts
ill update as i go"thumbsup"

RE: tuber wheely king build
looks nice man, and a good deal as PSP's are quite cheap($50-80 on gamestop depending on version the good ones are $70 ) compared to what the WK goes for(usually around $130-150)
