King Hauler - Yet another W900

[mototodo]

Last summer, my son and I went halvesies on a fully-loaded RTR Knight Hauler with box trailer. Because one wasn't enough, this winter, we went halvesies on a loaded King Hauler. Not quite RTR but a good price, built and in mostly operable condition.

The King in primer:


We admired it and discussed mods and what direction to take it. That's what you do when you are a co-owner/operator. No snap decisions, everything goes to committee. We came to the conclusion that it would need a good radio and a gear reduction first and foremost. We decided to test a 6EX and go with a 3:1 GRU. But then it got a little fuzzy. We wound up agreeing that a mid-70's W900 in Snowman's colors, though not original, would be a fun project. So here is the start.
