SCX10.2 Honcho vs Jeep Wranger
 

What's the difference between these two models, they are both SCX10 IIs but there is a big price difference. Can someone please advise? Is there a reason someone should get one over the other? I don't understand.

Thanks!

Honcho has plastic links instead of metal; more forgiving, but less durable (they'll eventually start to bend and mess up your rig's geometry). They're easy and cheap to upgrade; here's a cheap start, but the fitment may need changed depending on the wheelbase:

Additionally, you get dogbones instead of CVDs; this limits the steering angle but can also be upgraded. Personally, I like the Honcho body better; mine has been upgraded. Cheapest I can find are here:

The CRC Jeep is basically the same as all the other SCX10IIs but you get a different transmission case with metal gears and a fairly detailed body.

The Honcho gives you new 1 piece axle housings, 1 piece ring gear/spool assemblies (which are sintered, not machined), plastic links (which are pretty good), a 1 piece battery tray/servo mount, and the same transmission case as the CRC Jeep. Dogbones instead of universals is the big downgrade from the other SCXII versions. The Honcho is supposed to have plastic gears but many people, including myself, have got the metal gears with their trucks.

Obviously the body, bumpers, wheels, and tires are different as well. The Jeep also uses the same Tactic TTX300 3 channel radio as pretty much every Axial RTR while the Honcho gets the spectacularly awful Tactic TTX200 2 channel radio. Read more about my hate for that radio in my thread: http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/axial...off-entry.html.

I think that about covers it.

The Wrangler has quite a few upgrades over the Honcho. Most important IMO are the hardened machined gears and lockers in the axles and the front axle has universals. Universals allow for much better steering. The Honcho has sintered metal one piece ring gear/lockers. They're not going to be as strong as hardened steel, but if you aren't going to put big power through it or drive it pretty hard they will most likely be ok.

You are also paying extra for the licensing of the Jeep name.

I have ran my Honcho to hell and back, its still ticking besides small fixes and upgrades here and there.

The Jeep also has lights right out of the box. Also the Jeep is touting to be waterproof as well.
