| Honcho Build
This is an upgraded Honcho... Rig's achievements:
Parts breakdown:
From the side. From the rear [it's missing the tire, because I managed to lose the tire mount part and have to order it :(] Another shot from the rear, you can sorta see the suspension limiting strap. From the front. Thats a RC4WD bumper and winch. Bit better shot of the bumper and winch. Last edited by thzero; 11-01-2011 at 01:35 PM. |

| Looks great, nice write up. You can run the high clearance knuckles if you want with the CMS, just connect the drag link so it is attached to your knuckle arms like this: It does mess up the geometry a bit, but I really don't notice any bump steer and I get a lot more steering now. Also you can use the stock drag link you just have to shave the axle's pumpkin (there is quit a bit of material in that area). . |

Cool, thanks for the tips jlsandkes... I'll give the shave option a try and see how it works. And yeah Johnny, I think other than finishing up a few electronics things, it should be ready for Sunday... thats the plan anyways! |

| Also, it looks like you enjoy adding scale details to your truck (your bed looks great). You may want to pickup one of these and cut it to fit your truck: http://prolineracing.com/bodies/pl-c-interior/ It is really easy to do and clears the transmission without any modification. I don’t want to post more pictures in your thread, but check my build if you want to see how it looks. . |

To help get a bit more throw from the steering, since I'm running standard style knuckles ATM (mostly due to the CMS), I took some advice and ground down the areas of the pumpkin where the steering rod was binding. Here's a shot of where I ground it down; really need one without the rod in the way but I was lazy. And another set showing the additional throw. Pretty much the knuckles come really close to hitting the c-hubs when at full extension. |

Some shots from the NIRC TTC comp in which the rig (more so than the driver) finished 3rd. |

Awesome rig! Hey the MIP driveshaft you got, I got a question. With the longer wheelbase on the scx10 honcho you have to go with the ax10 shafts? I want to get MIP but not sure which ones to get cause they don't say if its for the shorter wheelbase scx10 or the longer wheelbase MIP Spline Center CVD Kit (SCX10) [MIP10145] | RC Cars & Trucks - A Main Hobbies I think at least one of these will be to short. But I'm not sure.

I love that color, it looks really nice on your rig! What kind of rod ends are you using on your drag link? Instead of using the straight ones, I used the ones with a slight angle that would go on the lower links connected to the chassis plate. I got a few more mm of clearence and even at full tilt, does not bind on the pumpkin. I used the ones on the upper left corner of this picture. |
