| KillerBlackbirds Honcho
I'll finally make a thread for my Honcho. I bought it off a member here (DocFire) and put a little work into it. When I got it the paint on the cab was flaking off really bad. After I tried to remove some of it, I ended up buying a new body set and a DinkyRC bedside kit. I stripped everything down, cleaned and re-lubed it all, replaced hardware with stainless and moved the electronics box position. I am running the stock Wraith shocks in it right now, I may go back to the stock SCX10 shocks after I see how it works on the rocks. Once the motor in it goes I'll replace it with a Holmes Hobbies Torque Master Pro 35T. The truck started out as a kit version Honcho. Overall DocFire did a good job setting it up, it crawls great, perfect tire foam set up whatever is in the tires. I actually enjoy using the Honcho over the Wraith since the Wraith seems to not have much of an issue with any terrain haha.

That's a nice looking Honcho. I love the tire/wheel combo. I ran the tsl-sx really hard on my Honcho for about a year or two and they never let me down.

| Re: KillerBlackbirds Honcho Thanks! Thanks! The ProLine TSLs work great and they're not super wide and tall like other tires. They seem to grip well. |

Small update; Since I run the 110mm King shocks on my Wraith and I absolutely love them, I went with 100mm Kings for the Honcho. I live how soft the springs are and the slightly taller 100mm length give it some extra flex. I also bought a set of RC4WD Pro10 1.9 wheels and PitBull Rock Beasts. The tires are a job in itself to get on the wheels. Ill have to get some better outside pics when I try out the tires. |
