Word. I've got 4 sets of wheels with MTHEAD rings, These babies are the best deal in RC.. these make any wheels look like a $200 set of wheels! Best 1.9 tires I have ever run... I run them on all my comp rigs.. VERY soft compound! | |

| Re: Homeless Hobbies SCX-10 Honcho AKA "THE TACOMELESS" 1st up... Installed a 60mm link between the front shock hoops to stiffen the front up a bit. Can't do the same for the rear so the Vanquish hoops are on the brown truck already! I know I know.. The electronics will get a make over but that is last on the list... |

| Re: Homeless Hobbies SCX-10 Honcho AKA "THE TACOMELESS" Dude that means alot comin from the guy that has the most bad ass honcho on the planet! I stare at the portal'd beast at least once a week... Check this build guys if you want to see the ULTIMATE HONCHO! -> http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/axial...w-portals.html I'm in need of a shorter bed like your rockin on yours.. I know DH is outta the biz for awhile so I'm enlisting axialjeepster to come up with something for me.. The current bed gets hung up on EVERYTHING I drive off of.. as for Austins work... I have had a set of his slider for nearly 3 years now and not a bend on them!.. It would be nice to see him back in the scale game. |

Also, those mayhem arent cheap! Not to mention, I dont know to many $200 set of wheels besides the new VP scale OMF wheels. Lastly the rings just make them that much better =) | |

Nice, Very nice. love the front bumper, sliders and the winch setup looks greats. subbed on this one. PS, those nano's tech are awesome, i run em' in my rig as well although they are 5800 mah, they have great power/run time. Your Class 2 rig looks very capable. excellent setup!
