| HD's back at it and doing it right this time G6 build
After selling my Honcho kit about 2 years ago along with pretty much most of my fun crawlers, I'd missed them ever since! So, I got a good deal on a new G6 kit that I plan to build. My intentions are to have a capable, beefy, and a fairly scale rig. I still have my Favorite motor combo of all time that I freshened up, a Holmes Hobbies torque master pro 30t motor and the BR-XL esc. A simply perfect mix of speed, and low end grunt for some crawling. So I'm waiting on my kit to show up, and these are the parts I have ready to go in so far! HH BR-XL esc HH TM pro 30t motor Futaba BLS152 servo my same old RC4wd 4ch radio/ rx (works pretty well) some no slop lockers VP high steer knuckles for some clearance and some Spaz stik color changing paint or something like that some plans are- move battery holder lower wraith transmission case and dig unit some sort of good 1.9 tires and bead locks CVD axles MIP drive shafts(if the new wild boar shafts dont hold) and beef where needed when parts break |

You can use Traxxas wide hexes to gain clearance for the tires or do what I did...I bought Vanquish Method wheels and used wider wheel hubs to give me the space. Gear Head is also making great wheels and new wheel hubs to offset for this too. Though, it's MUCH more expensive to buy new wheels/tires plus with the VP 8degree knuckles you would also need new steering link and tie-rod.

Looks sweet just got one of these myself to get me back in the game I noticed the springs to be a bit stiff for my liking I need to address that.

| Re: HD's back at it and doing it right this time G6 build They're 1.9's at 4.6in tall I feel that is about perfect for this rig. I also noted at the fun run that they were climbing a few places that the pitbull rock beats werent going, and cleaned out moist soil MUCH better. |

| Re: HD's back at it and doing it right this time G6 build Yea the only softer springs are the whites, then softer yet is red. I think just the white springs on the rear with the factory green's up front is a good combo since most of my weight is up front. I can flex until my 4-link truss hits the frame in the rear and the steering link up front hits under its own weight.
