Ok guys I am sure there have been plenty of threads on this and I am sure I could take the time to sift through all of them! But.. Anyway I am going to order tonight and figured I would start a thread and make it a build thread once it all got here.. Going to order the SCX10 Honcho Kit I'll probably slap a 4PK Rx or M11x Rx in there. I have a few Hitec 645's laying around so for now I'll use one of those.. Questions... 1- What Motor & ESC should I get? 2- Lipo or NIMH? 3- Any Upgrades I should buy right away? 4- Anyhting Else I should get? 5- Rims/Tires or Stock out of the box worthy? I plan on doing a lot of off road, a little water here and there, maybe some sand dune and salty area's since I live on Long Island.. Thanks fella's... |

I'd add a 4 link truss (r2j) for the rear axle and some 6x106 Axial pipe.

esc traxxas xl5 waterproof and will handle either way you wanna go with batteries. motor integy 35 turn your hitec servo will od you fine it's not claimed waterproof but ive ran one in water and it will work fine. hope this all helps. tires id go with either proline 1.9 supper swampers rc4wd swamper bogger or the mud slinger tires these would ll be good tires and yorue wheels from the stock kit are good. |

im with MFISHR on this one, i would have told you the exact same thing with a 30 or 35t HH motor, and 4-link the rear, lower the front battery tray, weight the wheels, and remove the bumo stops from the shocks

I just bought the tekin fxr with a 35t motor and so far the thing has really impressed me. The drag brake is excellent!

Thanks guys!! Well the SCX10 is ordered, should be here next week. I will use the Traxxas XL-15, Hitec 645.. If I can use a Lipo with the XL-15 what should I go with? 2s or 3s? I am guessing 2s.. |

Lipos ftw. That's all I use in my scx10. And if ya want to save alittle more for awhile use the stock wheels and tires. They work great. I vote the tekin esc with tekin 35t motor
