| Honcheato
I've been planning and gathering parts for this rig for a while now. I finally picked up a trail honcho body & chassis last week and got the party started. Basic specs: Mamba X & 2850 slate on 4s. Holmes hv500 servo Ax2 2 speed with upgraded output. Started with VP rock jocks, now pretty well built ottsix scx housings with OD/UD, brass beeftubes, flux brass knuckles etc. Soon to be custom AR44's with portals built from High Altitude Performance RC parts. Kyosho velvet shocks Titanium links CI 6 bolt wheels wrapped in ottsix X4'S of the red compound variety. I'm getting a new chassis cut that should be pretty killer and a new trans with a 3D printed case. I just wanted to get it out to play with. Nekkid pic. How it started. How it sits now with scx axles. The lower link/shock mounts sit lower so it made the ride height much better. The new portals. 1 set is for a sportsman project that will have tungsten slugs. The bottom row is for this rig. No additional weight that isn't functional in class 2 so here we are. |

| Re: Honcheato She has no say in my rc stuff. It is self supporting through parting rigs out and doing custom builds so she doesn't have a say in it. Although she doesn't mind anyway, she paints my bodies and crocheted me a Mitt that fits my radio and hands in for winter play. It isn't as impressive as it may seem. I have a lot of crap. |

She knows what my stuff costs but like I said it is mostly self sufficient so I get what I want. She has a ridiculous yarn supply and more hooks & doodads than I thought possible so she doesn't have room to complain. | |

Woot, the mail came today. Just waiting on my solid brass covers and I'll be in business. These are pretty rad, I'm going to thrash on them and see what breaks first. |

Not elegant, not color coordinated with the scarf on my doll but they're functional. Whittled these out of some 3/16" uhmw. Now body swapping for the snow body is simple and quick. |
