|  K30 v2 (I will not build a stock Honcho!)
So after getting my ass handed to me in class 2 this year in Montana (My Jero broke, a LOT) Baller let me drive his honcho while we were waiting for everyone to finish up. I have already driven a stock honcho last year in the spec class, and was amazed how it performed. I just couldnt bring myself to not "build" my scaler. Well driving Baller's rig, which other than a winch, CMS and larger tires, is basically stock. I knew what had to be done. I needed a honcho. I was pulling lines with that thing I would NEVER pull in my WTF Jero. Before the trek home I left the Hobby garage with 2 honchos, and started pondering the next (build?) Ive sat here for almost a month pondering what to do, as much as the Honcho just works, I can't just bring a Honcho to the scale nats, or any other comp for that matter. So I left it sit in a box while I pondered some Ideas. Then I remembered a build I took my first year to Montana, it was made as a trail rig, but the tires being small (compared to 2.2s) it didn't fair so well and I sold it off.. I always regretted that. Now with the change to class 2, I could build it again.... A quick measurement of wheelbases confirmed the stock honcho wheelbase would work, and parts were ordered. That Brings us to today, the start of the K30 v2 build. here is a pic and a link to the original for those of you who may not remember. My 1.9 is bigger than your 1.9! BB-51 K-30 build  The goal here is to build a scale rig with my flavor that works like a Honcho. here goes nothing   Last edited by XSRCdesign; 06-17-2012 at 09:59 PM. |

I thought the OG K30 was on TLT axles... I guess I was wrong. I can't wait to see how it turns out.  |
