|  chicklet's build thread
I'm going to order a Tundra body for it this week. Messed up the honcho body (bad quality paint  ). Tamiya paints are the best (bed came out perfect)! I also need to make my own armor. The stock front kills the approach angle lol. I need to waterproof it and weight the wheels. Honcho will do stoppies!  Here is what I have so far: Axial SCX10 Trail Honcho Kit Novak Goat 18.5 Hitec HS-7955TG Servo Spektrum DX3E Radio Venom Racing 3000mah Battery 3Racing Winch   Last edited by chicklet; 02-21-2011 at 08:31 AM. |
