Looks like an interesting build, i have a honcho also on the way. I just had a question though,

Is the 645mg servo just tempoary or is it going to stay in the honcho? Cause when i ordered mine, i was told that i should upgrade to a higher torque servo than use the 645mg(Cause it wouldnt last or something..)

Thanks

the 645 is a great servo for the money, i have one in an scx-10 regular kit and my 2.2 with some nice weight in the tires and ill go through a gear every 6 monthes or so, not bad but im gonna buy a cupple of these http://www.crawfordperformanceengine...ervo-p-18.html after this build is done of course

[2500hdon37s]

4-link on the way, and fabbing up a light set gonna have rock lights, lights in the bumper, maybe heads, and some red ones in the rear bumper

ok u sound like u know what ur doing but if it was me i wouldn't get rox lox tires i would go with rock crushers or something to be different. dont get me wrong rox lox is a good and tall tire but will rub ur front bumper a bit but cant wait to see the build pics and happy crawling

[nitromike]

I have Rock Crushers on mine, maybe not as soft as Rok Lox but i think they look good on it.

im not worried about some rubbing, and i dont like the crusher because of preformance reasons, im getting the rok loxs because of preformance and i like the look i know every other scaler has them, but ill build it diffrent and do some things to make it mine, but i also got a set of mud thrashers ill throw on it from time to time

just tossing up some ideas, slectable 2wd and 4wd operated by a homeade dig (possibly bought), hitch and tralier?? (id really like the idea of towing my LCC to my rock pile), and if funds allow ill try my hand at getting a pro-line 80's Chevy and keeping the cage in the rear

thats my plan is to make one sweet scale rig that has a few bells and whistles, honestly the must have add ons are winch, lights, and a hitch (with trailer)

anybody know a good place to get good deals on 5mm and 3mm LED's?

[2500hdon37s]

few little things showing up. so far ive got-
4-link
mud thrashers and black axial 8-holes
MIP cvd's soon to be here once i get them paid for (thanks twisted nuts!)
have a 2-ch radio that will get me started
and an Axial esc that works good for the time being

found a servo thats better than the crawford one

[2500hdon37s]

anybody know the upper length on the honcho when using the axial 4- link truss?

[2500hdon37s]

picked out a few other parts, Night crawler customs hitch, Axial steel tranny out drives, rc4wd king kong wich hook, and the king kong shakle

[2500hdon37s]

more parts slowly showing up as well as the kit soon (with rok loxs and free winch)

lights here, 4-link, esc, motor, radio, scale items, and a few mods on my mind, and cvd axles soon to show

all i need is- servo, 3ch radio, PAINT, a few mic. items and its good to go!
