HPI Wheely King aka Sand King brushless with sand paws rwd

[Buckymonkey23]

does having a brushless motor in it destroy the axles?!?!?!?

im thinking about putting a brushless motor in mine.

[xjonny26]

@Buckymonkey23 yeah stock dogbones or any upgrade won't hang with a BL motor. They made MIP axles (what I run in mine, bulletproof) but discontinued them. Tranny won't last either. Had to get mine custom built.

[traxxasrunner8]

You shouldn't put paddles on the front of a rear wheel drive truck it gives it a lot of resistance.

[xjonny26]

@traxxasrunner8 Its a 4wd truck i just broke a ds so it was rwd for this vid

[crashboy5748]

were did you get the paddle tires

[xjonny26]

@crashboy5748 Either Tower hobby or Xtown RC. Proline sand paws. I run Panther Paddles now tho from Tower

[washeded]

how did u strech the wk

[xjonny26]

Integy crawler conversion xtownrc

[tmaxxthrowdown]

how much is it to make brushless

[xjonny26]

It has taken a lot to get this WK to handle BL power. In this vid it still had the aluminium tranny. ( didnt last long) Counting broken parts and every mod since out of the box its pushing $2000. But I have some custom parts (steel tranny and slipper clutch) So really unless you find some steel gears for it than its not worth it. It will cost you $35 a week in alum. tranny gears.

what is different with the cvd and how did u lock the diff cause i bent my axles alot and i was going to get some cvd but i didnt know the different in them thanks

[xjonny26]

CVDs are the best axles you can get. Instead of the axle being two seperate peices (dogbone and spindle) it is just one peice put together with a ball and socket joint with a pin holding it together. I have a set in my WK, Rusty, and HR and I broke 1 once in the WK but it was because the bearings were shot and the vibration made the pin wear loose.

I used JB weld to lock the diff in the HR but they sell a racing diff for it too.

[xjonny26]

My WK axles are locked with axial HD lockers.

[jaybyrd7382]

so have you upgraded your hi roller anymore? i got one a lil while back and slowly gettin it where i want it to be. still tryin to get it to handle brushless a lil better though

[xjonny26]

I have the full metal tranny but I had to lock the diff because the side diff gears are cast and they cant hang. Cvd axles and rc-10 wheels because the stock rims strip easily. works great now.

[jaybyrd7382]

yea ive got the full metal tranny already, probly gonna get the cvd axles too, already broke 2 stockers lol but ive been lucky so far and havent stripped any rims yet

[jaybyrd7382]

hey where did u get ur metal gears and how can i fix my hex hubs and wheels from stripping

[xjonny26]

My gears are custom made along with the slipper clutch.

I have the steel hex but I have stripped out a couple sets of rims. I would keep them plastic because they are only a couple of bucks and they usually break b4 the rim does.

[jaybyrd7382]

cool thanks didnt know what exactly they did trying to modify my wheely king plastic breaks to much

[xjonny26]

Cool. Good luck with your build. If you have any more ?'s just ask,, and you should check out my video from today. I was really beating on the King. Held up fine too.

[jaybyrd7382]

hey what does the slipper clutch help with  and what does rear lockouts help with thanks

[xjonny26]

The slipper protects the tranny, well basically the whole drivetrain by slipping when there is to much pressure. Instead of breaking parts. The lockouts just stiffin up the rear. Takes away the c-cups and knuckles. Changes the dog bones to straight HD steel driveshafts. Very good mod. STRC or Hot Racing work great.

[jaybyrd7382]

i figured they would be longer then that, how long are stock links?

[xjonny26]

I don't really know. The stock wheelbase is 9.4" and with the 130mm it takes it to 13.5" and my lower link mounts from Liquid RC make it a total of 15" Those aren't the mounts in this vid tho I just got them

[xjonny26]

And this is a crappy old vid. Have you seen my more recent vids?

[jaybyrd7382]

how long are the lower links that you used?

[xjonny26]

They are 130mm and they are from Integy.

[jaybyrd7382]

how did u lower it with stock shocks

[xjonny26]

I put spacers on the inside of the shock. If you go to the link at the vid description it has my full build and mods list.

[xjonny26]

Have you seen any of my newer vids? It really flies now.

[jaybyrd7382]

hey would it run better on a 3cell i got a wheely king brushless and dont know what kind of battery to get would apreciate the help thanks

[xjonny26]

yep a 3cell would dominate, but my sidewinder esc can only handle a 2cell tho

[martinrc1996]

if you get biger wheels the you get hier speed, get 3s it can handle it;)

[xjonny26]

This is an old vid. Watch my new ones. It goes 35mph now.

[veggie106]

what battery are you using?

[xjonny26]

integy 5000mah 2cell lipo

[drewchaos]

those things grip like a son of a bitch!

[xjonny26]

go to my channel there are better vids than this one

[CMCKAYVSTMCKAY]

Jonny you get snow? Snow is funner than sand

[xjonny26]

I from Pennsylvania so I used to, but not at the beach tho

[CMCKAYVSTMCKAY]

Yeah looks nice I'm just north of Winnipeg in Canada. So a good 4-5 months of the year snow in on the ground

[kx85kid12]

[BritishMojoMan]
