Arrow 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.

I will update my build thread soon.

Nice work Brad.

Looks like another great place to play.

The Honcho really is working well now.

Sweet ending dunk...........

Thanks guys.

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

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

Thanks.

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.

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