HPI is now releasing a 4wd version of this truck. When it first came out I thought it was a cool looking truck with the tubular looking frame and a "4 link" suspension design. But it was only 2wd, now they are releasing it in a 4wd version for only $20 more than the 2wd.

I am toying with the idea of getting a 4x4 one and maybe putting the new "Crawler" brushless system in it. I'm thinking it could be a real fun play truck to compliment my 2wd 'pede.

What are your thoughts on this?

It's a pretty slick truck. Take the sway bar mounts off, and the articulation on the truck is killer. The rock-crawler system should work great in it.

hell well your at it mine as well stretch the wheel base out to 12.5 inches to make it a killer trail toy.

i have a wheely king 4x4. love it. i plan on turning mine into an authentic looking monster. lock the rear diff (like the full scale monsters, add some aluminum suspension parts, etc.) let me know how your project comes out. ROCKY 1

any body have insight to what a good kit to stretch it with . no plastic stuff
