Timo's Honcho

[Timo Creemers]

Well, i've been here for 5 years now, and never really posted something, mostly just watched photo's and build treads.
So, I'm a 14 year old boy from the Netherlands, and now got a Hocho for 1,5 year.
When I got it:

Tested it for 3 weeks in Norway, and I decided that I just needed some aluminium links.
Now I don't have the biggest budget, so I got myself some M3 rod ends, some M3 treaded rod and some aluminiu pipe", and than it was like this:


In that time I already got 8-hole beadlocks with flat irons, and made some underbody protection.
After another time I decided I needed a lower COG, so I made a new electronics tray and a battery plate:



Don't worry about the electronics sitting so open, everything is tested waterproof.
And at least, yesterday I made my own zero ackermann mod:




It drives much better.
How it sits now:


The specs I'm at now:
Axial AE-2 ESC
Carson Model 27T motor
Fitec FT5519M Digital Servo, 18.5 kg/cm
Axial CVD's in the front axle.
ACE RC 2 channel Radio and Reciever

I run on 2 6-cell NiMh 5000mAh battery's.

So, that was it.

Nice job on the home made mods you've done.

Thanks, I got it from the Dutch challenge truck haha.
But maybe I can trade it for a Wraith, so I think I don't have a honcho anymore in a week.

So, I'm getting a Europran brand 19t brushed, and it should still have a bit of torque. And again, some bearings, the 3th pair, from the output axle where you put the driveshaft on (axle side) . Does anyone have an idea how I can get rid of this, so I don't need new bearings every 2 months? Because now I can move the driveshaft at that side around 5mm up and down.
