Here is my modded Wheely king, this truck is not built to look good, I modded it to have the best traction/handling possible... I lowered the front to stop the wheelies and at the same time stop losing control each time I was full throttling. Front shocks are pretty hard, I had no choice to put them hard, otherwise my body was getting scratched by the Mud Trasher tires. I Decided to change the four tires and four new rims because the stock tires are pretty heavy... I could hear the stock gears knocking when pressing the throttle. I ordered some Wide aluminium hex hub because the truck was unstable, I highly reccomend to buy these, they are pretty affordable (20$) and they give you a better stability even for crawlers. I have 2 10mm spacers on each rear shocks to make them harder to squeeze. I'm using Blue ultra prestige grease on my final diff gear set because the normal molybdenum was not thick enough...

Here is the list of the modifications I made on the truck:

-All Hardened machined steel final diff gear set
-Front Hot Racing air shocks (100 mm)
-Wide aluminium hub kit from Hot Racing
-Lowered the front Shock mount
-Traxxas 12t 550 motor
-24t pinion
-4 Yokohama Geolandar tires
-2x 10mm spacers on the Rear shocks
-All transmission gears are made with aluminium
-Aluminium chassis
-HPI Racing Classic King Wheel Black (shipped)
-Hot Racing Wheel Washer w/ Hot Racing Special screws

Grease and Shock oil:

Diff gears: ---->Blue Ultra prestige Grease<---- (Highly recomend it !!!!)
Transmission: White Grease (Petro Canada)
Pinion: High heat resistant Molybdenum

Rear Shock: 20% 10wt+40% 50wt+40% 60wt custom mix
