I'm gonna buy a stock SCX-10 Honcho scaler kit for my daughter

and putting a different body on there - everything else will be stock. Think I'll keep that Honcho body for myself..

I kinda like the shorter wheelbase on my rover scx so think I may shorten it a bit to fit the custom body I plan to put on there which is the same length as my rover..

You guys are experts so other than the body, what performance mods can I do (within reason $$$)?

Hey RC I saw your post in the 1.9 and replied but noticed you probably can't see the classified without a star. A few of the UT guys sell their sick rigs now and then but normally in the $600-$700 range for rollers

Sell quick though. I got a honcho for my girl but she never drives it so changing that one to a jk. On my ftoy I went with the shorter wb frame but should have gone with the longer honcho just because of the cage work.

To view classifieds I need 30 posts and 30 days, and I have 30+ posts, maybe not quite 30 days.

Think I'm going to go with the stock honcho for hers - if she doesn't drive it much I can change it out later..

It's a Christmas present, and the body is quite unique.. a hard plastic Barbie convertable..

same length and width as my land rover..

brokennib · 12-17-2010, 12:15 PM

so what day r u going to HT and what time???......do u still want me to bring the nissan body

Tom_Swanson · 12-17-2010, 02:53 PM

Well I'll tell you this when I put them toegether I put the flat iron memory foam in them and it looks like there flat with the wieght of my vehicle and the front tires wobbled bad when driving. So I star cut the rc4wd foam and put it the front and they seem more firm but I left the memory foam in the rear cause the back of my truck is a lot lighted. I have this case that's taller then my truck that is smooth plastic and I have been trying to crawl over it since I got my scx10 and I could never get on top of it well with these tires and foam combo I was able to crawl over the top of it.

The RECON G6 team is hitting the road and we are bringing the G6 Challenge to Sacramento or bust. Folsom Lake will be the back drop for The Folsom G6 Blues.

What do you get when you cross rally with European truck trials with the adrenaline of the KOH with the adventure of the Camel Trophy and then add special stages that rival the Croatia Trophy? You get the R.E.C.O.N. G6 Challenge. If you enjoy building and driving r/c scale rigs, then the G6 Challenge is for you.

The Folsom G6 Blues will debut the 2.2 scale class. The G6 guidelines for a scale vehicle will have only two exceptions. The first, the 2.2 tire must be scale looking, whether it is a knock off of a 1:1 tire or a scale replica, it must look like the real thing. The second exception is nine scale items will be required for the Folsom G6 Blues. All other vehicle guidelines must be met to pass tech.

The 3 Stages will feature separate skills challenges and time bonus sections for each class. Stage 1 and 2 will be 50 gates while stage 3 will be the G6 staple of 100 gates. Not only will each stage test drivers’ skill and building ability, but also challenge their navigational prowess.

Good Luck and God Speed G-Drivers, may you only have to use your winch in a special skills section.

R.E.C.O.N. G6 Challenge “The Folsom G6 Blues”

January 29, 2011

Folsom Lake, CA (exact location will be announced 24 hrs before stage 1 start)

Tech start @ 0800hrs +/- (scalers will be impounded immediately after tech is passed)

Drivers meeting @ 0900hrs +/-

Stage 1 start following the National Anthem

2 G-Classes; 1.9 and 2.2 (A driver may only sign up for one class)

G-Tags awarded to top three finishers in each class.

$10.00 G-fee (Folsom Lake requires a day use fee of $10.00 per vehicle)

Start the New Year off right by getting your scaler fix in a RECON G6.
