The idea to make such a model came about after I discovered a beautiful frame from a wheely king. I already have a stock (well almost ) model of crawler king, but it has long been off the market, and I decided to repeat the model with the following modifications:
1) to design the gearbox for the most popular parts from Axial SCX10 II
2) to install portal axles (also as a basis I took the popular ready-made portal axles from Axial SCX10 II)
3) all major parts that are unique, design and print them

Here's a list of parts that were used in the project:
