The new wrangler or a honcho?

[Jigs]

Hey guys I already own a wraith and I am considering buying a Honcho or the new wrangler unlimited rubicon.

But i am wondering about the parts available for the wrangler.. Do they use the exact same parts? The wrangler is abit longer and wider then the honcho?

Any other pros or cons to buy the one or the other?

Thx in advance

I don't know about the wrangler because I haven't had one, but I've got a honcho, dingo, wraith, exo, slash and rustler.

But my honcho is the most dependable out of my rigs very easy to fix and there's tons of aftermarket parts, the only thing I've broke on mine in 8 months is a driveshaft, but I also upgraded my knuckles so I don't know if there weak or not. But I hope this helps in your decision. And once you get it your gonna have lots of fun!!

The Honcho and Jeep are exactly the same trucks, ecxept for a few differences on the Jeep. The Jeep comes with the regular three linked front, but has a four linked rear. The Jeep also has sway bar mounts on each (front and rear) bumper mounts. If it was my choice, I would definatly buy the new Jeep. I really enjoy the scale looks and I am a Jeep fan myself. Check out the Axial website for more info on both trucks. Hope this helps!

Yep. Same wheelbase, but adds some new stuff. The four link parts are on the extra parts tree if you don't want the stock 3 link. I went with the wrangler, and am super happy I did.

Depends what you like, if you like Jeeps get the Jeep body, if you like the truck look get the Honcho. A lot of people have been jumping on the Jeep band wagon for a while and now since Axial released the Jeep, the Jeep is flooding the trails, I like the truck look so I went with the Honcho and bought the bed side kit for it to fill it out completely.

Nothing's says that you can't have both. You can can buy the Honcho and then buy the wrangler body or the other way around.
Switching would only take a few minutes.

Well if they use the exact same parts i think I'm going for the wrangler rubicon I was just asking because i have to buy all of the aftermarket parts of ebay since there are almost no parts to be found in norwegian shops. And i really like that there are so much to choose from to the scx

But dont the wrangler rubicon have slightly wider wheelbase then the honcho? So that like the honco alu steering links wont fit?

The trucks are the same specs. Basically Anything for the honcho, chassis and running gear wise will fit.

The Honcho and the JK have the same wheel base so all of the SCX-10 parts will fit it. So if you ever get tired of the JK body, you can even change to links to use a shorter body.
