The 4-wheel drive version is not currently available. What you saw on the HPI Europe site is a preview. The 4-wheeler probably won't be available for a couple of months.

hey all i just got the wheelie king 2wd.. and the thing is probably the most fun to drive out of anything else that i have.. i replaced all the electronics in it and put a brood checkpoint 12x1 in it and te thing just screams... way more fun when you put a mod in it..haha... wheelies anytime no matter what speed you are at.. the only thing is i stripped the final drive gears.. the ring and pinion.. i noticed that the reason it stripped is because there is a noticable amount of play in the input shaft area.. so to get rid of this issue you need to add about 6 more input shaft shims on the shaft inside the axle housing... just a little infop for you guys. other than that the thing is kick ass.. and when you take off the stabalizing plate in the rear on the suspension links.. the thing is a killer rock crawler.. it articulates so much more when that piece is removed...

Guys, Do you thing a 4x4 Wheely king has a good potential to become a crawler? I'm planning to create a crawler RC and I'm thinking of getting the Wheely king as a platform because...its cheap price. 
What do you think??
