Sweet. Can't wait to see pics of another XJ'er!

ThunderbirdJunkie · 01-08-2011, 01:30 AM

Since Zack and ThunderbirdJunkie are going to have the same issue, what's he going to need to chop about 3/4" off the wheelbase of his Honcho so he can run an XJ body? Just the 98mm lower links and the same rear upper doodad spacer thing as what's used in the front?

Tru3Racing · 01-08-2011, 01:42 AM

You use the 98mm lower links included in the kit and you will need to make or buy links for the upper to run 4 link. Or take the spacer out of the 3 link setup.

+2 just built my Honcho kit and I am trying to figure out whats the best set up for a 4 link up front and in the rear..

I will be sure to keep checking this thread.

zackxj · 01-13-2011, 05:14 PM

yeah i got the 4 link to work in the rear with the parts in the kit, however it seems you need a difrent brace to get the steering servo to mount up and have the 4 link, unless you moved the steering servo to the frame, which i would love to do.

you can use the 4 link brace that comes in the kit, thats what i have right now. you have to take the 3link mout off and just run 2 screws in the servo plate. it doesnt look like there is enough clearance for the links but there is just barely.

monsterman · 01-13-2011, 05:33 PM

Can you guys list the parts needed "part #'s" from the SCX10 Kit, still a newb to this stuff and have no ide what parts your talking about..

Thanks

zackxj · 01-13-2011, 06:33 PM

really? ha ha, i litterally tryed that the other day but something didnt seem right. and my screw wouldnt hold the links in because it was to short

I already bought the Honcho Kit and built it, I want to put the 4 link suspension on the front & rear.. The kit seems to have only come with a 3 link unless I am missing something?

GaBronco · 01-14-2011, 08:06 AM

The Honcho doesnt come with the stock plastic four link. I suggest picking one up from R2J in the vendor section. Great guy and has just what you need!
