My first post and first honcho.
 

So I've been lurking for a bit and I just bought my first crawler. I'm hooked and in love with this rig.

It's surprisingly easy to drive granted I haven't mastered it yet.

First on the mod list will be:

Steering linkage upgrade,

Front bumper relocate,

Hi-clearance links,

Bead locks,

Soft springs.

The rip claws are extremely impressive. The only reason I haven't been able to climb something is from getting high centered.

I look forward to the advise that anyone can offer! :thumbsup:

Thanks! I've found a few crawlers from a local forum I'm on. I'm in Kansas City Btw.


I've already removed my bump stops and I need to relocate the bumper asap! That thing limits the truck so much

Good stuff man. Glad to see you're enjoying. It's really a capable scaler out of the box. Doing some weight tinkering and going with proper ackerman definitely helps too.

Awesome post for a newcomer btw "thumbsup"

This isn't my first Rodeo lol :thumbsup:

Yeah it does seem to roll a little too easy. That's one reason I'm wanting to get bead locks to get some weight down low. I this is my eventual goal to recreate this 1:1

That's my buddies jeep. I'll probably go proline Cherokee body and learn how to bend and weld tubing for the cage.

Nice Honcho.

Is your buddy gonna add to that cage? That thing is gonna fold up if it ever see's a rollover.

Dude that scx10 is a way more capable crawler than that Jeep lol.

I most definitely will do a lot of modifying to the body if I do go that route. I'm also considering a tundra or hilux body with the honcho bed. I'm not too sure on the body just yet. I'm focusing on upgrading for performance.
