The SSD Trail King Pro Scale Chassis Builders Kit was developed to offer discriminating scale builders a more effective weapon for their arsenal. The Trail King offers a level of scale realism that has never been available in a box stock kit - until now. By combining their proven, high performance option parts with an array of unique parts that are only found in the Trail King, SSD has raised the bar and created a kit that can be effectively utilized by scale enthusiasts and performance oriented crawlers alike.

Scale Engine & Transmission Assembly   
The SSD Trail King includes a first of its kind multi-piece molded plastic V8 engine that is complimented by a scale transmission and transfer case assembly. The scale engine houses a forward mounted motor and each component is meticulously modeled as close to the 1:1 parts as possible. The engine is made up of 14 individual pieces, and with a little creativity can be detailed and modified even further. Plus, the transmission holds the motor extremely low in the chassis, providing a lower CG and increased performance when compared to motor forward configurations from other brands. 

Offset Pro44 Front Axle   
By using their proven Pro44 axle parts, and combining them with a unique offset axle tube configuration, SSD has designed a scale axle housing that is durable and lightweight. The axle tubes are one piece, so they eliminate the link mounts and associated hardware that shows in the front of the axle - creating an incredibly realistic looking, lightweight axle housing. The axle is finished off with machined aluminum c-hubs and knuckles, 6 bolt locker/ring gear assembly, and hardened steel offset universal joint axles that allow up to 50° of steering throw!

Hardened Steel & Titanium 
The Trail King is a true premium level builders kit. With high quality precision machined parts throughout, the kit is guaranteed to impress even the most demanding builders. From hardened steel machined gears and driveshafts, to the titanium links and SSD Pro Scale 90mm shocks, this kit is fully equipped out of the box. With no need to throw a bunch of upgrade parts at the truck, you can focus on choosing the body, wheels and tires you want - and build a truly unique, high performance scale truck.

SSD RC Trail King Pro Scale Crawler Chassis Builders Kit
If you’re on the fence about this one then jump over, the quality is outstanding and the truck is a great performer. The build is smooth with one gripe, the manual doesn’t have 1:1 hardware images so there’s a bit of measuring but nothing difficult. The fit and tolerances are superb and the truck is a joy to drive.

SSD RC Trail King Pro Scale Crawler Chassis Builders Kit
This is the nicest builders kit I have ever put a wrench on. Everything about this truck is top shelf. Plus, it has more steering than any other SCX10 based truck out there. The motor is hung super low, and the truck is incredibly light weight. If you are looking to build a scale truck, or go crush big boy lines - the Trail King checks both boxes. Nothing out there even comes close. After building the kit, I was surprised it didnt cost more... 5 stars all day.

What a nice kit.
I have zero complaints.
This kit actually had extra parts when it was done, just the opposite of some other's kits.
Hi grade plastic, and plenty of alloys.
If you're a scaler, this will suit your needs.

SSD RC Trail King Pro Scale Crawler Chassis Builders Kit
First, to those reading this, you'll need to understand that the Trail King is only my second crawler, so I really don't have a lot of knowledge in this area. I've got a few Traxxas vehicles, and I've built several off-road race vehicles (plus an XRAY T4), so I do have experience in building kits...just not crawlers. My first crawler was the Axial Capra, which is fantastic, but the manual had LOTS of errors (to be fair, Axial/Horizon Hobby has been working extremely had at correcting the downloadable version of the manual). Upon opening the Trail King box, the first thing I did was check the manual. Despite there being no part numbers, or any scale images of the screws, the manual is outstanding. If you've ever built a TLR vehicle, and know how fantastic their build manuals are, then you'll have an idea as to how good (minus the aforementioned missing part numbers & scale screw images) the SSD manual is. As for building the kit, everything...and I DO mean EVERYTHING...has gone together with extreme ease. Truth-be-told, it's even easier than building a race vehicle - with race vehicles, you're constantly having to measure the turnbuckles to get them "just right"...with crawlers, the links (similar to turnbuckles) are designed in such a way that they should always come out the proper length. Considering how good...make that 'great'...SSD's first kit is, I can't wait to see what they come out with next. If the SCX10.2 is too "cheap" (in quality) for you, and the Vanquish VS4-10 is too expensive, don yourself a HUGE favor, and buy the SSD trail King Pro. You will not be disappointed, I promise.

SSD RC Trail King Pro Scale Crawler Chassis Builders Kit
I’ve built many kits. But this was my 1st crawler. Easy to build!! Only down fall is the motor cover. I bought Rc4wd pulley kit and other parts to complete motor, to find out everything I bought doesn’t fit. Motor cover to small. But easy fix, have to buy RC4WD motor cover. Other then that this crawler is great! It handles so much better then my friends SCX10 II. I’m glad I chose this kit over SCX10 II.

good kit. goes together quite well. only issue I have is the rear axle gears do not mesh well, not sure if I can shim it yet. overall a scx10 2 kit, which I love since you can transfer/ used either parts

SSD RC Trail King Pro Scale Crawler Chassis Builders Kit
This was my first crawler but have bought a Element Enduro and Axial Capra sense. This is a nice kit. I have built many off road race kits and this is up there with the best of them. The manual has it down falls as does the way its packaged as far as having screws for other steps in the bags and not having and 1:1 screw guides on the pages but after you get through that you are getting a great kit for the price with the included hop up parts that would cost you with other kits. The shocks are ok. I ended up having 2 of the 4 leak and ultimately put on Element Enduro factory team shocks that are better construction and handled far better. I highly recommend this kit and the Element shocks if you’re looking for a great kit that leaves very little to be desired. This kit will save you money in the long run so you can put nice electronics in from the get go. SSD overdrive front gears also were a great add on that I’m using. Truck is super capable.

I am very satisfied with how prompt my package was sent out on standard mail and arrived in only a couple days and it included additional Amain sticker and magazine that was great. The only thing I was frustrated with is I have a coupon from Amain due to a previous transaction that did not go as well on a defective product I returned and I was not able to be used for this purchase.

I am thankful Amain carries a large selection of products and the site is so easy to use. Especially helpful when you are doing a product search and it shows Amain carries it.

Thank you,

Simply superb. Once you build it, there is nothing to upgrade, since every part is already upgrade-quality. Well worth the reduced price.

Very high end kit, metal everything where you would want it. Compared to the rest of the kit the shocks are lacking a bit. Rear diff locker was slightly out of round causing slight bind on hand rotation. With the right tires and shocks this kit takes on the trails well.
