ussprinceton2004's Bullseye Toyota Honcho

[ussprinceton2004]

I bought one of the last remaining Honcho kit version from RPP a couple of months ago. I just now had time to build it.




I used Tamiya's polycarbonate spray paint. On the outside are PS-2 red, PS-5 black, PS-12 silver. I haven't painted the inside yet with the PS-14 copper. I'll eventually get to it, so that the truck will have that old rusted, scratched and dented look. I plan on putting actual dents using a heat gun or lighter.






I made some inner fenders, added Recaro seats, and 3Racing 1/10th winch, for scale parts.








I have an AE-2 esc, Axial 27T motor, Fly Sky TX & RX, 6 cell 5000 mAh NiMh for the electronics.




I'm waiting on my Yeah Racing (#LK-0002) Dark Drifter 6-Slots LED Light Kit.




There are these old Pro-Line Dirt Hawgs that I narrowed, glued on to HPI star wheels, as spares.

Nice looking rig. I really like the seats.

Looks good . Stupid question .... How do you make those fender wells ? I want to do the interior of my honcho and finish it off like that .

the inner fenders are made from a container for butter cut to fit...you can also use cool-whip containers, DVD/CD 50 pack containers

...I just weighed the Tacoma and it is at 6.17 lbs., loaded with 6 cell 5000 mAh battery, seats, driver, motor, electronics, and winch...
