Super glued my accessories back together and mounted up the hilift. I decided to try the back. This was my second pick anyway, and pretty much any way I roll it doesn't get touched (on flat surfaces).

hey did you know your honcho fits in the roof rack of your wrangler?! (even though technically that's the wrangler's chassis, not the honcho)

I love the Tekin pro handwound in my jeep so I picked up another one for my honcho (soon to be hilux, can't wait for Christmas) I like the idea of being ably to swap motors easily, so I started hooking them up with deans

Got some snow this week, but heinie_21 and I did some trail runs anyway out on the San Rafael Swell.


Didn't get a whole lot of pics because we didn't want to take our hands out of our gloves. I'll get him to post some on here from his phone.

Looks great. Gotta love those axles. What if you widened the track width a little. Might look a little more realistic.

Picked me up a 5000mah battery off the classifieds (Thanks WestTxRc) Turned out to be a little bigger than I thought, so I'll have to do a little electronics rearranging, but I'm excited for the runtime on this thing.

And it is super sweet might I add. You should do a build thread on that one.

Thanks! I love them. Because of the bolts on the diff covers sometimes they'll leave diff scratches on the rocks. Adds to the realism.

I just bought a Jeep body to convert my Honcho and your build was my inspiration. Just wondering if you can tell me a little bit about that rear tire mound and antenna? Thanks
