Have the tips been posted on the blog?? I've looked a few times. I might be looking in the wrong place.

Thanks. I'm still running the Super Rooster, 45t lathe and 4pk. I haven't had any issues yet with the electronics getting wet. The inner fender wells are doing a good job of keeping water out of the electronics so far.

I haven't had a chance to post up the tire chain tips yet. Hopefully, I can get it posted soon though.

Thanks. I was using our company camera, it's a Nikon D80.

Do you have any pictures of your trip to Colorado last month? I'd like to see that sweet recovery from the pond.

No worries! This thread is a massive help to a scale noob like me as it is. Just thought your chains looked awesome, so I'll enjoy whatever other tips you can give!

I have those pictures on my computer at work. Almost forgot about them. I'll try and get them posted next week. I still have to edit the video footage from that trip too.

eemmaaxxxx · 02-21-2010, 08:29 AM

Nice water pics on page 4. Completely missed them somehow. How do you make those scale bow waves?

You mean these? She almost went through the ice. I'll add the recovery footage to the end of my video.

Rubbaneck · 02-22-2010, 12:23 PM

Sweet!

BADASSPONY · 02-22-2010, 12:44 PM

Man this makes me want to build a scaler. Very nicely done Bender!!!!

BENDER · 03-10-2010, 10:12 AM

Finally got a chance to snap a few pics with the new Hand Brothers CMS kit. I took the bump stops out of our shocks to get a little more travel. So, I added our offset rod ends to the panhard bar to try and avoid the links from hitting the frame and axle.

Cave Dave · 03-10-2010, 01:03 PM

Newb here....why the 3 link-panhard setup and not a 4 link? Does the CMS get in the way of the 4 link setup? Thanks.

The biggest reason is for the realistic look that the CMS kit gives you. You can do a 4 link with a chassis mounted servo if you want. I did that to my original SCX10 build without any real issues.

Man that ice pic is crazy lololol.

Been wrenching on the Honcho for the past week, getting it ready for the Scale Nats this weekend. I gave it a quick once over checking for anything that needs replacing. Also added some scale details to give it a little more realistic look.

Changes:
Switched to MSD 1.9 aluminum wheels
Lowered the body
Raised the rock rails
Pushed the front bumper back
Added a 645mg winch
Painted up the Pull Pal
Rebuilt the shocks
Rebuilt the transmission using our new HD steel outputs for the driveshafts
Added an exhaust
Added scale goodies from Pro-Line
Added our side view mirrors and blinged out fire extinguisher
Installed fresh winch line
Installed an Axial 27t motor for a little more zip

A few pictures with the new mods.

Nice new mods and upgrades, where might I find one of them Pull Pal's?

RCMANN12 · 06-01-2010, 05:50 PM

Nice Truck. i have been looking at the honcho a lot and realy like it. I was wondering if i could put a traxxas 12t brushed motor on there with an xl-5? Thanx for the insight.

sally1800 · 06-02-2010, 12:29 PM

Nice work with the Honcho this week end. I do feel that the scx-10 is a perfect built rig.

stretching that wheel base always helps.

Pappy · 06-02-2010, 05:23 PM

Can we see some pics of the 2.2 class Honcho from MSN 2010? Would love to see it up close!!!
