Correct.

I set my bec 6.5v. Futaba rx's can handle 7.4v

Tommy R · 12-03-2010, 08:30 AM

That's a great idea, E! I just spent a good bit of time last night reworking a BEC to supply power to my winch. I figured 4s wouldn't be good for it so I stepped it down to something more reasonable.

Can't wait to check out the rig next weekend....

Never thought of that! Great idea Eric.

I had one of mine just plugged into a separate 2cell, worked good, but you had two lipos to deal with. Think I'm going to do some fixin tonight. Hell I've got a couple extra BEC's, maybe I'll wire one up just for the winch, overkill really.

yes.

i just modded a "junk" controller to see if i can solder the tiny wires. after the mod i hooked it up and sure enough the controller started working again.

Gimp · 12-03-2010, 09:50 AM

I wired mine like that too. It's a tad slower running on 6v, but love that it powers itself.

Little more progress today.

Went to home depot and bought..

I was able to get 4 wraps on. I also added BOWTIE's warn decal sheet.

I reinforced the back of the honcho cab. Shoe goo works great on lexan.

I used gladware bowl, marked and cut in half, trimed to fit. Just need to get paint.

Looks good Eric! Another great idea for the fenders too

LIKES2CRAWL · 12-05-2010, 02:46 PM

So how many feet is the 4 wraps of rope?

Metal Militia · 12-05-2010, 03:30 PM

not a big fan of the honcho bodies cause they seem to be overly used to me but for some reason i like it

. keep it up

Honestly I have no idea. I just started wrapping the drum till I couldn't fit anymore on.

Thanks. Same here. But once I saw DH-fab flatbed for sale. I knew I had to have one!

Tru3Racing · 12-06-2010, 10:26 PM

The shocks fit that rig like a glove. You got a lot of spare winch line haha.

STANG KILLA SS · 12-07-2010, 09:46 AM

love the fender wells. will you have to use lexan paint you think?

is the back of the honcho cab flimsy?

I tried some regular black paint and got air bubbles.

I think lexan paint will work better since will etch in the plastic.

The back of the cab of the honcho is kinda flimsy, it like 0.10-0.20''.

Looking sick Eric!!

I built a tool box out a radioshack project box. I had some great plane hinges and used 2-56 screws to mount the hinges to box. It crappy I know.. But will do for the mean time.

STANG KILLA SS · 12-09-2010, 12:59 PM

SAL45 · 12-09-2010, 03:24 PM
