Slowly building my honcho

[jimbo jones]

Hi guy I'm a bit of a noob to rc's but im hooked now I stared with a wraith and a yeti for my son then I bought a honcho and I love driving the honcho so the wraith is on the back burner for now (will be setting it up later to go fast)

Ok so mods so far are:
staino links with revo rod ends
Front wheel I added weight to 50 grams each
Esc and reciver both moved up front and battery move sideways in front of motor
RR transfer gears
And I have a axial 55t motor in the mail heading this way should get it this week
The stock spur gear has just striped and I'm thinking if I have to replace it should I get a steel or alloy one or keep it plastic and should I change the number of teeth on it and the pinion gear?
I drive a lol of trails and like to crawl rocks with it










Will also be doing up a trail finder body for it that I have





anyone able to help me out with the spur gear what one should I get also should I change the pinion gear?

Whats a good all round 1.9 tyre? Im looking at
INTERCO IROK 1.9
MICKEY THOMPSON 1.9 BAJA MTZ
MICKEY THOMPSON 1.9 BAJA CLAW TTC
INTERCO SUPER SWAMPER 1.9 TSL/BOGGER
I do a lot of trail driving wet / dry dirt, rock crawling
also sand tracks
so need somthing that can do most of it well also what foams and im going to get these rims

Very nice I'll be ordering my yeti-x kit soon

Thanks for the quick reply cheers

With a 55t motor the standard plastic spur will be fine, just make sure your mesh is right. If you want stronger , upgrade spur and pinion to 32 Pitch .As for gearing get a few pinions around the size you have and do some runs , and watch your motor Temps. Out of those tyres , I'd go for the Iroks , I hate the Baja claws. They don't stick to anything.

What he said - Forward backward sipped, didnt matter. Unless your spinning them stupid fast they just never seem to hook up.
