My new 35 turn motor should be showing up at the hobby shop today so can't wait to get it in and finally get my Crawler King up and going again as its my go to crawler to run and tumble around. My other ones are all more like show pieces and not really much more than some trail riding but thats about it for my SCX10 and my CC01 if I ever get that thing built.

Here is my HPI Crawler King. Been slowly upgrading it over the last few months. I did remove the transmission slipper clutch, new front mounted servo on the axle, and new hardened front gear set from the HPI MT 12. Then I added some Sedona tires for when I want to crawl more and then also have some TSL Super Swampers for when I want to have a little more realistic look.
I did add my Castle Sidewinder SV2 and since it don't need to be a comp type crawler I added a 4600 Castle brushless motor and turned it way down. When I want so added fun I turn it up a little but never all the way as I don't feel like tearing things too much so I try not to get to carried away.

I'm not sure if I would sell it. I have had it almost 2 years now so I must like it as I normally sell stuff all the time but I have always kept this. Problem is like most I have more money it in that most would want to spend on it. One thing I would think about is trading it for a Tamiya CR-01 crawler but otherwise I probably wouldn't sell it.
On a good note I tracked down my new 35 turn motor and it will be here early next week. Soon as its here I will be installing it so my CK is back up and ready to crawl.

So how did this turn out ? I started another crawler king build myself. Waas checking out the blitz slipper mod but decided to make my own. I used rc4wd steel trans gears and fit a traxxas slash slipper clutch on it. No having to open trans or drill the top shaft.
