here are my two Honcho's
 

Its a work in progress, here are a few pictures of what I got going on, I bought a Tekin Brushed 35T Heavy Duty Crawler Motor, I made my own Esc mount. Its ugly but works great, Its vented on the motor side, and on the other is my switches for the esc and lights, I bought a wraith light kit. Up front, I got four lights, and made the bar to mount the other two lights. and got the lights for my light bar. I going to finish my battery mount, and I order a ABS plastic, 1 inch and a half by 2 inch by 1 inch for my receiver box and light controller, it goes up front, its a weird size because of the Hand Brothers servo mount, but should fit nicely, will take more pics when I get every finished.

Here is the battery mount its kinda overkill, Its stuck on with two face tape to get an Idea how wide it is. It needs mounted and a little trimming, so its the same size as the black plastic cage,need to solder on the motor leads and a plug and a matching one on my AE-2 esc. and finish the light wiring.

Made my fill piece for the front today, its sheet metal, if any thing I can use it as a template, and make one out of aluminum plate, cause it also stiffens up the front bumper, that I raised up to clear 2.2'' tires. Still waiting for the box, for my receiver and light controller. And need to mount my battery plate, needs trimming.

Re: Here is my Honcho
 

I got the battery mount finished, the motor wired up and installed, I painted my esc mount, and the fill piece, got my receiver box, need to mount it, and go Home Depot or radio shack and get some rubber grommets to run my wires thru. and finish my lighting going to have four headlights up front, five on the light bar and two brake lights.

Got my receiver box mounted, its the stock box just standing up now, it works for me.

Come on 300 plus people have looked and not one XXXXXXXX comment.

Re: Here is my Honcho
 

People lurk HARD, I haven't received much feedback either. I really like where you mounted your receiver box, I had to move mine to the rear and really don't like it.

Re: Here is my Honcho
 

With the honcho body and the receiver box in the back, you have raise the body in the rear to clear the box, I don't like, when it looks like that, so I put up front, and it is just the right height to miss rubbing on body, in front of mounts in the hood. plus it easy to remove to work on.

Re: Here is my Honcho
 

Not looking too bad there. Keep at it! I have a Tekin FXR with the 35T motor combo myself and love it. The motor gives me quite a bit of torque over the stock 27T axial.

Re: Here is my Honcho
 

When I first bought my SCX10 used, it had the Hand Brothers servo mount, and a going out Traxxas waterproof servo, the servo burned out, with in two or three bashing runs when I first got the RC, I bought a Futaba high torque S3305 as a replacement from my local hobby shop and it has lasted longer than the Traxxas one, and it works good, I got a Ok Performance No Brainer Bec ordered, and I will see if there is a difference. after its installed.

Hey I dig the ingenuity, nothing finger than making your own stuff

Re: Here is my Honcho
 

After trying to stuff two Axial Wraith light controllers in the receiver box, and pulling off one of the power wires, that cannot be soldered back on, I got the idea to mount them in a box up under the bed, they will each have there own on/off switch, one controller will run four headlights up front and two brake lights on the chassis. The other one will control the lights on the light bar and two brake lights on the body. I ordered two new light controllers, need to wire my switches to the light controllers, and put some disconnects on the wires going to the receiver so I can take body off. here is what I got so far, waiting for my light controllers.

Hey when you snap photos of your truck with the shell off, try to take a few of them with the whole body showing so we can tell what is front and back.

Re: Here is my Honcho
 

I trimmed the front bumper, so I can run 2.2'' rims and tires on my honcho, I got four sets of tires and rims for my two Wraiths, I got a set of Ripsaws, a set of HB Rovers, a set of G-made Bighorns, and set of 2.2'' Proline Badlands Crawler tires, I'm going with the badlands cause they have the smallest outside diameter, and I don't have to trim out the front fender to much. I'm not going to trim the fenders for a little while, I want to see where they rub, then trim them out, and take off as little of fender as I need to.

Re: Here is my Honcho
 

Ok got a little bit more work done, still got a little more to go. I made a aluminum box, it kinda looks like a truck box for a bed, I put the switches in the lid for the light controllers going add 1 or 2 grommets for the wiring. and the cut slots in the back of the cab so the switches are inside the body. then I roughed up the box so its got the beat to hell look.

Re: Here is my Honcho
 

Here's a look at where the box is going to mount, and I cut slots under the switches for the wiring to go in and out, the box needs some tweaking to fit right, up under the bed, it needs to clear the rear shock loops, needs dented in to clear.

Re: Here is my Honcho
 

Going a whole new direction, I just bought a GCM forward motor mount combo that comes with the servo mount/bumper mount, and also bought a there new hard pan kit, to replace my Hand Brothers Cms and hard pan kit. will post pics when I get it and install it.

Re: Here is my Honcho
 

here is my box painted and stickers on it, then brushed some clear on it, so the stickers last longer.

Re: Here is my Honcho
 

Still Waiting for forward motor kit and hard pan kit, I bought this today for the SCX10 its a Tekin 35 Turn Hand wound Rock Crawler rebuild-able motor, the price was right, and it was the last one, so sold.

Re: Here is my Honcho
 

I got my GCM motor forward and hard pan kit installed, bought a Rubicon body and put my light bar from my honcho on it, and mounted the spare up higher on the rear of the body. I kinda like the honcho cut down front bumper on there. looks good, I ordered the right one, I hope I can get my four lights mounted on it.

Re: Here is my Honcho
 

Got my R2J FS-2 JK sliders, I like em, the look pretty good, I like the groove to catch the body in and tube slider. Getting closer to finishing it out.

Re: Here is my Honcho
 

Yes, they are nice sliders. I have a small battery on each one along with a wireless winch controller.
