Hand kit on Honcho

[Chargerguy]

I been holding out on installing my Hand Bros CMS kit on my Honcho waiting for a 'fix' for the extended wheelbase, but decided to give it a try anyway. What I found was the kit works fine just a few simple mods with kit supplied parts and your good to go.

Following the instructions here http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showthread.php?t=167211 the only changes that need to be made are on the upper link use the spacer that came on the original 3-link Y connector and discard the Hand rod end in favor of the stock Axial one. On the Panhard bar replace the Hand supplied rod end with one of the left over angled Axial ends to give more clearance to the Panhard bracket. The drag link installs per instructions. I use a Hitec aluminum horn with the drag link connected in the furthest hole.

So far no problems with bumpsteer. Full compression is a little compromised but nothing a little dremelling to the 3-link bracket wouldn't cure.
