That is a pritty cool picture of parts you got there.

For you paint. I am going to paint my bumpers and rock sliders with POR15. It is a automotive paint used for suspenstions and chassis. When it dries is like a ceramic finish and is very stout. I have been using it on 70' Charger. Awesome stuff . But, it is quite expensive. I just thought I would pass it on. It should slid in the rocks pritty well, and not chip or scrape off.

No huge updates but have a couple of additions to the truck thought i would share. I got some free time and was able to make some fenders wells. My Proline Power Stroke Scaler Shocks also arrived and I threw them on right away. I have the R2J truss on the way but I dont think im gonna use it on the honcho, gonna save for my next build i have been planning. It was cold but sunny so i got to run her and took some shots. I have to say this thing drives like a tank. Goes over just about anything i throw at it.

Enjoy

Great sequence shots! I'm liking the rig overall, colour is different to the usual black or green . Your bumper and sliders look great in my opinion. Are the RC4WD steel wheels heavy??

Keep up the great work.

According to Rc4wd site each wheel weighs 2.53oz so yeah they got some weight to them. I dont have a scale to confirm though. IMO they are a kickass looking wheel and were very easy to use.

I dont have a actual crawler. Started off with the scx-10 and now the honcho. To me the thing crawls great. You can do your trail stuff but still hit the rocks and it will perform.

Im assuming you had to remove the hex nuts to fit the wheels on there, any performance issues?

Well I havent done much work to the truck lately so i though it was time to add a few things. Nothing special just a R2j Truss in the rear to 4 link it up and im going to be adding leafs to the front.



4 link bolted on smoothly. R2j kustoms makes a great truss




And the front end torn down to start on the leafs





Thats bout all i got for now
