|  Hiding/routing wires
So I got the new electronics for my honcho (ESC, BEC, servo and a motor) and with all of it combined the wires are all over the place. Where are you guys routing/wrapping/hiding the wires? Pics and suggestions much appreciated!

I have my receiver box at the back of my frame and most of the wires are in it. The only wires I have exposed are the motor to ESC, battery and servo extension which is ziptied to the framerail. The motor wires are also ziptied.

Does the proline underbody work with the honcho body?

I'm running a Radio Shack box as well. Anything you can do to fill in the wheel wells and underside will really help keep the wires hidden and make it look more realistic. Scroll through the first 4 posts of my SCX10 build and you'll see a big difference in how it ended up looking.  |

Im using the stock honcho box, nothing more. Hiding wires is easy, just look at it and think about it for a second. Invest in some small black zipties. Im running a light kit, and the only wires you can see on my rig are the esc to motor wires. (i havent gotten around to making those stealth yet) |

Heard good things about it. I'm hoping it has close to stock wheel speed cause I'm keeping the stock gearing. | |

That motor is a Fantom Rhino 55 turn. It has a larger than yer average comm (though not so much not average these days), and a 4 magnet can, which was not so average then either, but more so now. One of the slowest, smoothest starting motors I've ever encountered. It was discontinued before Fantom switched over to a larger comm Blitz motor. Fairly rare to see them.  |

+1 on the floor pan. You have to cut the front lip off to fit, but it gives you plenty of space for all electronics/wiring.
