BOBO_XLT's Honcho gone bronco.

Re: BOBO_XLT's Honcho gone bronco.

Love the bronco body. Nice truck!

Re: BOBO_XLT's Honcho gone bronco.

Thanks I am sooo pleased with how it turned out :)

Re: BOBO_XLT's Honcho gone bronco.

looks great, I love the old broncos. For the wheelbase did you have to shorten it?

Im not really sure about the wheel base b/c I had already messed with it a few times but all the links i used were from the original set up or the spare parts that came with the RTR but i believe the body will fit with out modifications to the stock honcho wheel base from what i have read on here. I could be wrong and like I said all the parts to adjust the wheel base were in the RTR.

Thanks man so far i haven't had too many problems just a snapped chub. and i might need to replace my upper links with metal ones because i have noticed alot of flexing when to rear wheels get bound up.

Re: BOBO_XLT's Honcho gone bronco.

No its set up like that because the portals dont have a rear lock out and i havent had a chance to modify them as lock outs yet. :)

Re: BOBO_XLT's Honcho gone bronco.

I don't know how I missed this. Sweet looking bronco, I'm digging the portals. "thumbsup"

Are the portals stock ? How are they holding up ?

Re: BOBO_XLT's Honcho gone bronco.

Sick rig. Great photos shots too.

Whats your total width outside of tire to outside of tire? Did you have to use wider hex's to get the 1.9's to clear the portals?
Do your portals have bushings or bearings?

Re: BOBO_XLT's Honcho gone bronco.

good lookin' Bronco"thumbsup"

Re: BOBO_XLT's Honcho gone bronco.

looks good. What paint did you use (type,color,brand)? I really like the color.

Thanks a lot :). The portals are made by Integy (I know I know "Integy booo") but I figured I would give them a shot. As far as how they are holding up? Well they were doing great until one of the gears decided snap in half... oh well lol I'm currently looking into a replacement so I will do my best to keep everyone posted "thumbsup"

The portals came with their own hex's so I just used them but i did run into problems with the inner beadlocks catching on the portals so I'm running some cheapo plastic hummer wheels and old school glue to keep the tires seated lol. I did try some 2.2 beadlocks and they cleared fine but I wasnt happy with the overall width and look of the 2.2s.

Thanks! The paint I used is some Duplicolor that I picked up at Autozone. I wanted to see if i could get this bronco to match my 1:1 truck as much as possible, even though I drive a ranger and not a bronco.. but oh well here is a pic of the can to help you out "thumbsup"

Re: BOBO_XLT's Honcho gone bronco.

By the way if anyone can think of somewhere that might help me replace that busted gear that would be great! I can also grab some dimensions off it if anyone can think of a readily available substitute. I was thinking maybe a pinion gear from something might work. I know it has 18 teeth, looks to be about 1cm in outer diameter, and has a shaft diameter of of about .5cm.

I don't think you will find stand alone replacement gears. It going to be cheaper to buy a new pair of portals, then way you spares too.

3racing gears may work.

Re: BOBO_XLT's Honcho gone bronco.

...or you could look into the GMade R1 portal gears (Junfac). Different tooth count (16/14, I believe), but you may be able to replace as a set.

Re: BOBO_XLT's Honcho gone bronco.

Great looking pics, and a cool looking Bronco."thumbsup"

Re: BOBO_XLT's Honcho gone bronco.

wow talk about reviving a dead thread! This rig has undergone some changes in the looks department and is no longer running the portals since I never found replacement gears for the broken portal. She's now rocking a New Bright JK hardbody and 3d printed boatsides.
