Default Kurt's Honcho Progression Thread

My wife suprised me with a Honcho this weekend, and as most RC owners, I have plans to build it up. This is the chronological account of said build.

NO POSER SHOTS.

These were all taken today, in my front and back yard of my Goverment Housing on Base.

If you want a little more flex remove the bump stops on the shocks

What instructions?
All you do is exactly that, take the bumpstops off the botton of the shocks.
They are the little black rubber bits that are on the shock shaft.

Cut them off. Throw em away.

Gotcha. Ill do that soon Im sure. Thanks for the ideas!

My first upgrade will obviously be aluminum links, whenever RPP gets em in stock. The drag link flexes horribly!

Can't wait to see what happens with this build If you want wheel wells, cool whip containers work good and if you planned taking on water. A jar of Liquid Tape from Wal-Mart works AWESOME! Ive waterproofed all of my electronics with it and I've drowned my truck over the roof and the truck still works.*knock on wood* Have fun with the truck BritnKurtTJ

Thanks! Perfect excuse to buy Coolwhip! I gotta sell off the RC Aircraft and stuff so I can have funding for this!

Good luck! You and I are in the same boat. I had a competition crawler and was instantly bored with it and had to get into the scale world. I just ordered a Dingo and should have it in a couple days. I'm already itching to get started.

I was torn between an AX-10 and an SCX-10, I wanted function, but wanted pretty scale looks too. This thing can crawl right outta the box! I was blown away, if you go slow enough, its just like the real thing as far as CoG. Im impressed. I think ima buy a NewBright JK body on Friday for it.
