Looking good so far. I see you flipped the rear shock hoops for forward shock angle. Anything else done or is it stock? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

| Re: Rek's Scale Trail Honcho Looks like you used the original image size from Imgur. I usually use the large photo size for appropriately sized photos. You can edit the photos in your previous post by sticking a lower case L just before .jpg in the image tag like this: [img] https://i.imgur.com/kNuvb7Ll.jpg [/img] See, it works. |

Heres some update photos and descriptions! Heres my body clip magnet mount in action: Heres my newish 10500mah battery that I modded the tray to hold. Adds a lot of weight and runs for almost 2hrs on brushed! Here are my SSD Steering and panhard links and also my Hot Racing brass knuckles Also got the lower stainless steal links, and put one of the axial ones from the bottom to the top 3rd front link Got a spring set from Hot Racing, these golds are 1.5s and perfect! Im having so much fun with this truck, and all the upgrades have made a noticeable difference in overall performance. Such an addicting hobby lol! |

Your little Toyota is coming together! Great work on the printed parts. I really like your sand ladder design. |

You need to close that beer cooler so the beer don’t get warm, lol.

July Update! Been out driving the truck and definitely playing into the upgrade addiction. In no particular order, here are all the big upgrades Ive made. Here are my new SSD links, Vanquish servo horn, and Axial steel upper links. Also pictured are my SSD diamond pro axles which have the SSD hardened gears inside Here are my Injora metal beadlocks, and inside are the Pro-line closed cell crawler foams as I mostly crawl next to a lake. Got a Holmes HV500v2 servo, loving it! Got an SSD low profile front bumper, saving up for a nice high quality winch to put in, or may take HeyOKs advice and put a scale cheap one and run a good servo winch behind it. Bunch of nice parts here, got a HH Torquemaster pro 27t(540 can), a Hobbywing 1080, and a Castle waterproof BEC. Loving this ESC and motor combo, its smooth like budda! Also you may have noticed in some pics I got aluminum shock hoops by Hot racing as well. Nice and sturdy. Here we have Team KNK's brass hex hubs with 10mm offset. Each hex weighs 8 grams for a total of 16g per axle. The offset is nice too allowing for a wider wheel base. Last but not least is the Bowhouse RC servo / battery tray, paired with a brand new Gens Ace 3s! I caved and volted up and geared down. I think thats all for now, currently a lot of the scale stuff is off the body cause I weight it and it was about 10 oz of extra weight up high! Im working on 3d printing new replacements that are less dense to help with the weight. I really like the scale looks but I want the truck to perform well too. The conundrums of scale rock crawling! PS: I have a set of supershafty MIPs coming in the mail too :P |
