| Finally picked up a Honcho!!New to crawling!
Finally picked up an SCX10 which I've been wanting for a while now,I was waiting for a good deal on a used crawler,and i finally found one locally.I think it was a good deal for everything I got.Im new to crawlers but I used it for a while and I was surprised,the original foams have been trimmed and weighs added as well,also has an upgraded servo and came with two extra bodies,and what seems to be wraith wheels and tires,two batteries a charger,bumper with a winch which needs to be connected and aluminum steering links by axial (not installed) and a couple other goodies.Sorry for the long story but I'm very excited about this new hobby.Any comments welcome! |

You're in trouble now! That thing is going to suck you in so bad you're never going to have any money ever again. Welcome to the hobby. |

Haven't had time to take the truck out but I didn't like how boring the roof rack looked so I made a fairing with styrene and wrapped it with black vinyl and added a Thule decal I bought got from eBay. Here it is done and installed,I'm happy with the outcome. Last edited by OKkrawler; 03-19-2013 at 04:12 PM. Reason: :) |
