Scx10II TRAIL honcho I am certainly very happy to see the prices on the new scx10II trail honcho Does anyone have one yet How does it stack up compared to other trail crawlers out there right now Now I am not gonna lie I was seriously thinking about getting a redcat gen7pro But at a 70 difference I could get a Axiel scx10II I just may go with Axiel instead. Because of their prices I have always wanted to buy something cheaper than Axiel or Traxxas But now I am thinking of product support and Axiel has excellent support for their products What does everyone think I would like to find out "thumbsup" |
Re: Scx10II TRAIL honcho I was looking into getting the trail honcho but it has different axles. The axles have plastic gears and from what I have been told there is no way to upgrade them to metal gears. The suspension links are also plastic. Just some things to think about. If you end up having an issue with the axle gears your going to end up having to buy new axles. |

straight from axials site The ring gear/locker is a single-unit piece made of strong sintered metal, and the pinion is CNC cut for durability You can check for yourself. Axial Racing - SCX10 II |

Re: Scx10II TRAIL honcho Honcho II: http://www.axialracing.com/assets/pr...jpg?1511989205 AR44: http://www.axialracing.com/assets/pr...jpg?1463765866 Taken from their site - take a look for yourself... They integrated the link mounts, trusses, and lockouts/c-hubs. Then there's this: "AX10 TRANSMISSION The ultra compact transmission allows for a wide range of gearing choices. The overall ratio can be adjusted using different pinion and spur gear choices allowing super high speed or competition level crawling speed. The new transmission housing design still retains the basic function of the original transmission but in a new more scale looking case. Final drive ratio (FDR) 42.00 Original SCX10 was 33.06 20T metal drive gear, plastic idler gear and plastic lower gear (Optional: upgrade to all metal gears with this gear set: AX31585) Scale looks silver color looks like cast aluminum Better mounting points at the base of the transmission no more stripped screws!" |

Re: Scx10II TRAIL honcho Well I am torn because of the gen7pro and the new honcho and I know there are tons of reasons not to buy a redcat but for that price and what you get for the money is is not a bad deal at all |
Re: Scx10II TRAIL honcho Why not go with the Sport and a few upgrades? For under $300 you'll have a truck with metal suspension and steering links, good tires, metal lockers, CV axles, upgraded servo and plenty of other upgrades. |

Re: Scx10II TRAIL honcho I'm new to crawling and have been happy with my trail honcho so far. I've heard the Redcat is a pretty capable machine as well. Please note that the redcat comes with everything needed out of the box. The Axial will need a battery and charger. Not a big deal if you have those already, but adds to the cost differential if you don't. The sport version of the Gen7 is only $200. BigSquid RC did a review and the Redcat came out rating pretty well. I'm considering getting one for my youngest to bash. |
Re: Scx10II TRAIL honcho I vote Gen7 Sport and JB Weld or upgrade the plastic diff lockers. If you plan to upgrade to CVD's, definitely upgrade the lockers first since you won't be able to pull out the dogbones after jb welding. |

All said I am very happy with my second gen Honcho. The aftermarket has really taken to the scx10II as well, and that was the main reason I chose it over the Redcat. Mine has 16 plus miles on it now and still going strong. For more details... http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/axial...-trailing.html And SVT's http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/axial...off-entry.html |
