If you're going for short wheel base then start with the Dingo.
As far as the Tamiya Hilux body is concerned, no it doesn't come with seats. Most scaler guys make their own custom interiors.
Good luck with which ever you decide to go with.

Welcome to the Scaler world!!

They are essentially the same truck- just different wheelbases & different bodies. Make sure that you get the newer version of either with the 2.4ghz Radio & the castle/ Axial AE-2 ESC

Either is a great choice, the wheelbases can easily be adjusted to fit most bodies.

Both of them have the same part number so I would say that they are the same thing. Maybe one of them is the new one with the 2.4 radio. Good luck.

get the dingo. its is a better platform to choose bodies. the honcho has very limited to the bodies u can use. and good luck trying to get the 2.4ghz.

I have both the Honcho and the Dingo and I have more bodies that will fit the Honcho than the Dingo. Maybe it just worked out that most of the bodies that I liked were for the longer wheel base.

Well Im probly gonna get a Jeep yj body or tj body and ill extend if I have to I just dont have the money for the honcho now

rogerw · 02-23-2011, 09:53 PM

i bought the dingo. it comes with more lights and bumpers. it also came with the stock links for the honcho wheelbase. so if that was a factor you made a good choice!
