Bender's Honcho............Now Sporting Wraith Axles
 

Finally got a chance to build one of the new Honchos for myself. This thing is just fun to drive. I stretched the wheelbase by 1/2 and even without weight in the wheels it climbs like a goat. "thumbsup"

Here's a link to my post on Axial's Blog.
Axial Racing - Bender’s Honcho Build

I will update this thread here on RCC as I make mods.

hey bender how did you attach the rear bed to the frame? im haveing problems with the way i mounted mine, used some good velcro to the cross braces and also the under side of the cage and the velcro keeps poping off and doesnt seem to want to hold. and i really dont want to put any holes in the rear to attach it. thx in advance - Punk


Edit* nm i see you put holes in the rear disregarde my post unless you have some ideas for me lol thx again >_<

I did drill holes in the cab to mount the cage. I cut our rubber shock bushings in half and used those as spacers between the cab and the cage. 8)

Looks great Brad and pics from under the shell?

Isn't it about time to get some Cali plates?

Maybe when my 1:1 Jeep gets some, I'll register this one too. :mrgreen:

Thanks, I'll get some body off shots up today. I also trimmed the "wings" off the front bumper too, I'll get some pics of that up as well. 8)

Looks "thumbsup" as always. Shock bushings between cab & cage, nifty idea indeed.

Sweet rig Bender."thumbsup"..Makes me want one even more..

So what did you do about the steering servo hitting the cross member?

On mine anyways, I took a dremel and notched it out till it works. Other guys took the cross member right out, but then your battery tray support isn't there.

I took a bench grinder to mine, but still curious about Bender's solution.

Thanks guys. 8)

I took the 10mm standoff out on the front upper links and replaced it with a spacer in the 8mm range to clock the axle back a hair to clear. You can use the extra plastic 7.5mm tranny spacer instead of the 10mm spacer too. Those are in every kit and aren't used because we include the aluminum tranny spacer. Notching the cross member works too. "thumbsup"

Looking goog Good Brad!!! Nice to see ya flying CO colors still"thumbsup"!!

Looks amazing! What did you do to tint the rear windows?

Looking good! "thumbsup" Love the stretched wheelbase too. Time to get to work on mine.

I was also wondering when the Honcho Body kit is going to be available, I would like to get it for my existing SCX-10.

Nice paint job! I might have to get one of these myself, that is if the wife will let me :mrgreen:

Did you notice any issues with the front wheelbase not linning up right? I saw another build in another thread (never got a reply) and it looked off.

Looking good Brad. Now can you make it fast.

love the orange looks great on her!
