Picked up a Crawler King

[rfoster458]

I picked up a used Crawler King and so far so good. The previous owner has it as rear steer only though. I'm going to convert it back to front steer more than likely. One other thing is it seems to be a little glitchy. The servo almost has a nervous twitch or something. Any ideas on a fix?

Thanks,
Rob

just replace the servo

Awesome, thanks!

you have any off body shots?

I'll get some frame pictures later today. For the time being, here are a few more pictures I took.

I'll get some off body shots today. From what I can tell it's all stock except for the rear steer aluminum mount.

Are you sure it's rear steer, and that the motor and servo aren't just reversed with the body backwards?

 

[rfoster458]

Yeah because the battery is in the front right? I posted more pics but they didn't come up.

thats kinda what i am thinking...

Yea it would be very odd for someone to set it up for only rear steer so that is my best idea of what happened in which case he is also burning up the motor.

I've been trying to post more pictures and info for days, but none of my posts are making it through until a moderator approves them. The battery is in the front correct? If so, then it was set up for rear steer, but I have since switched it.

Here are off body shots:

This is where the servo was mounted, but I switched it to the front where the battery is located.

Actually in that case it was probably a wheely king because the batt. came in the front on the craler king and back for the wheely king, is your throttle and servo settings both on neatral?

It is a Crawler King. The previous owner found the instruction manual and parts that he is sending me. Don't WK's have the silver looking framing as well? Or do some of them just have black like the CK? Thanks for following up!

For those who have a Wheely King, what motor does it come with stock? My CK has the 55t. I was just curious in case I wanted to swap motors to be able to do some higher speed stuff, unless the gearing is completely different.

The stock wk motor is a 27t. When I am bashing my wk, I use the 27t on 3s for lots of fun.

Well I guess it was a crawler king, just very odd to only have rear steer...

He prolly just flipped the chassis and didn't flip the axles. When U get the crawler conversion kit it shows u how to do all of that so I would assume it was one of the newer wk's with the black chassis and he did the ck conversion and didn't flip the axles or was just screwing around and made it rear steer.

 

[ScaleFreak93]

Ahh but it had the manual and the stock motor.

 

[rfoster458]

Anyone know what turn motor the stock ESC can handle?
