Recon with the Honcho
 

Shot a little more video of the Honcho this weekend. I recently stretched the wheelbase for the bigger 2.2 tires and wheels. Definitely looks and performs better now. But, she is due for a rebuild after a year of mud, water, snow and TTC type events. I've destroyed at least 5 motors in the last year. Bearings and gears sound a little rough now too. :ror:

I will update my build thread soon.

The Honcho really is working well now.

Thanks guys. 8)

Started the teardown tonight. Found a few seized bearings in the rear axle so far. :ror:

Needs a snorkel.



















Or a periscope.:ror:

Stock Axial tranny with our steel outputs. "thumbsup"

I should install both for scale nats. :ror:

cool thanks!!

No problem. 8)

do you mind sharing some of your suspension set up? Looks like it functions to perfection!"thumbsup"

Thanks. 8)

In this video I am running the stock 30wt oil in the shocks. Out front the springs are also stock. In the back I have been messing with a really light spring set-up, because the rear end on this Honcho is so light. I am running 3 of the stock short springs on each rear shock. So far it is working great, but I think going to the softer long springs in the rear would give me the same effect. "thumbsup"

I have seen the new site for 2011, I would suggest both. :mrgreen:

Thanks much! I had noticed that on both of my Toyotas, will be trying the softer springs soon. "thumbsup"

I want to see another jumping video. :ror:

No problem.8)

I am working on something right now with a few clips you will probably like. ;-)

It does! That's how mine is set up now.

Great Video man, looks good

Thanks. 8)

Nice work, Brad. Sweet angles and the music went real nice with it. "thumbsup"

Thanks Tommy. 8)
