Snow's Honcho Build (on a budget)
 

Well i bought a scx10 from a user here on the boards, I hope to have it soon!!! I will post all known specs soon! unfortunatley I have already bought some wraith axles and 2.2 axial rocksters. I see where this is going and I like it but my wife isnt going to....... bought her a 400 dollar sewing machine to make up for it.


MORE TO COME VERY SOON!!!!!!

Re: Snow's Honcho Build (on a budget)
 

More gifts for the wife to come! :mrgreen:

You set the bar to high, you gotta ease her into it... Start with a thread and needle, then some fabric, a$50 gift, maybe a dinner or two and then move up. Now she's going to expect a $500 gift next time... but you'll need that money to build a 2nd rig. You can't just leave that extra set of axles sitting around... they'll be calling to you in the middle of night!
build Snow build, build me a 2nd rig, spend your car payment money. You don't need a 1:1 truck... just 1:10...
Yup, you're in trouble "thumbsup"

Re: Snow's Honcho Build (on a budget)
 

Smart move. Keep her happy. You should be able to justify your new addiction. "thumbsup"

Re: Snow's Honcho Build (on a budget)
 

hahaha well see johnny now all she needs is the thread or the fabric got the big chunk out of the way!!!!! lol i need to learn the parts better for my vehicle because i need to figure out what i can use from the scx axles on the wraith axles!(they were not 100% complete)

Re: Snow's Honcho Build (on a budget)
 

unfortunately, just the gears

Re: Snow's Honcho Build (on a budget)
 

thats what i figured....
seller told me
Front shafts - $20 - $40 (depending on if you run CVD's or the dogbones)
$4 for the bearings
$10 rear axle shafts

With that said i guess i just need to figure out what brand to go with.... luckily i know this guy on the boards who has been real quick to answer any questions!!!!! he is semi local too!

Re: Snow's Honcho Build (on a budget)
 

Good deal, I started with a Cheep crawler for my boys Christmas. FYI two scalers and a bunch of mods later.....speaking of you want to sell those stock scx axles? Hit me up I need some spares.

Re: Snow's Honcho Build (on a budget)

Re: Snow's Honcho Build (on a budget)

Re: Snow's Honcho Build (on a budget)
 

only a few hours left!

Re: Snow's Honcho Build (on a budget)
 

Congrats on your new toy!

I have to agree with the USPS speed of delivery. I don't get why so many still use the slower, more costly alternatives.

Re: Snow's Honcho Build (on a budget)
 

Well, i'm going into deep depression. My package did not arrive today.......going to sleep until tmro.

Re: Snow's Honcho Build (on a budget)
 

Hopefully tomorrow so you can make the gtg "thumbsup"

Re: Snow's Honcho Build (on a budget)
 

yah your telling me!!!!! so im gonna start looking into 2.2 tires wanna look scale but great traction! also dont wanna be on the banned list any recommendations???

Re: Snow's Honcho Build (on a budget)
 

Errrrr, I'm with ya Snow. Just sent ya a PM. FYI, I went over to our local pick-up for Fed-ex and show them the USPS slip, and they would have charged even more!!! They've changed routing, as our mail used to go to Santa Clarita, closer to LA. No idea why it went to Bakersfield. Guess I'll be the "Angry Customer" come Monday when I get back. I know how it is to wait for somthing. Good luck for getting it Saturday. Ron
PS: Temazepam 30mg works great for sleepage, preferably taken with a small glass of Lambrussco!
