| Project WronchoMog
Decided to strip my honcho down and build something different, a Honcho at birth and a Wroncho Unimog when finished. Ive never brazed a chassis before or rebuilt a RC from the ground up. But i will give it my all anyways. I will Update the build as i go, Enjoy ! Build Parts Gmade XD 103mm shocks VP light bar Robinson Racing hardened steel trans gears aluminium transmission case RR bearing kit junfac drive shafts CCBEC Hacked 8channel fly sky BRXL with Torquemaster pro 35t 2.2 Pit bulls crawler innovations foams Hitec HS-7950 VP links/knuckles I wanted the Color scheme to be black and green. So started with some wraith axles and some Green HR Links (Soon after found out they were a waste of money and broke before they even got used) Put some VP links on order...wish they came in colors but oh well, i hear they're tough.

Here is a Mock up, you can see how the forward cap part works a little better in this picture. 4 thumb screws and it flips forward to access the battery. Sorry Work station ALWAYS looks like a bomb went off lol... Last edited by jbear3x; 06-24-2014 at 01:32 PM. |

Interesting...nice job so far. I have a soft spot in my heart for Mog's. This is a unique twist with the Wraith axles & 2.2's. |

Some Mock up before i start to paint the cage. Originally wanted to paint the cage neon green and have everything else black/gunmetal but no matter how many places i went to or paints i tried i couldn't find a neon green paint that didn't just rub off easily or turn chalky like sidewalk paints. So ended up trying for black later tonight after i sand off the mess of chalky green paint i just applied. sorry for the finger..using my phone. Last edited by jbear3x; 06-24-2014 at 05:57 PM. |

Finished Painting the frame and attached everything to it. Worked on the link setup the rest of yesterday. Finally came up with something that works well and is pretty bulletproof and i can keep my drive shaft angles and transmission config . Ran a 4mm Steel rod through the frame from one side to the other threaded the ends and put lock nuts and aluminum spacers from Ace Hardware. |

I really like the build. I'm having a MZ hilux truggy being built. All I need now is wraith axles, wraith links and I think that might be it Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk |

| Re: Project WronchoMog ALSO....best use of 2.2 Rock Beasts I've seen. I run them on my Wraith Rock Crawler, but it always looks just a tad out of scale. TSL's or equivalent are scaled a bit better; however, this looks great on the Unimog!

RockKooki Completely Agree!! they look good, and your totally right on the 2.2 TSL's i have a set and they are more scale than the rock beasts but when i mounted them up there was no going back! |

Thank you Tuner, i tell you i messed up more times than i can count but trial and error and eventually it increasingly got easier. My next project will be some sorta custom roll caged 6X6 Possibly trying for a 8x8, but that's another story....
