IMO the pro line front bumper looks just plain stupid on there with the honcho body, and not a big fan of the turquise color, but if it suits you thats cool!

anyways tell us the specs!
esc, radio, servo, battery, motor, and mods you have done!

id add some weight to the wheels and 4-link the rear

i like that he didnt get the rtr! I also like how his bed is black not alum/ chrome. im just sayin that his rig aint quite my style, but if he likes it let him! he asked for what could be improved as well and i told him 2 ways that could net him better prefomance

rcmaniac78 · 08-19-2010, 06:50 PM

Yeah the bumper I thought would look better :( I have a 50's chevy body have to get it painted think it might look better with that bumper won't know till I try right? :P

Specs are

Motor - 55 turn Venom firball (had it laying around)
ESC - Traxxas xl5
Radio - Traxxas 2.4 2 channel
Servo - Traxxas waterproof
battery just a 6 cell NiMh 3000mah

I know alot of traxxas parts but it allowed me to see it run and what not thinking about the goat setup for a motor esc (they any good?)

Not a lot of mods yet just did the front bumper, light bar (working on getting the leds) I did weight the front wheels (170g total)

How do I go about 4 linking the rear? (newb question I know) but if I don't ask I won't know

But yeah thanks a bunch guys love the input!! like one of my problems I have the shocks maxed all the way and yet seems to not have as much flex as I would like they are stock so meh

oh and 2500

! jk lol thanks for being honest! ;)

I think the bumper on it now looks way better than the stock bumper. IMO the stock bumper is ugly, its to wide and looks like it should be on a baja truck.

rcmaniac78 · 08-19-2010, 06:59 PM

I think with the honcho body I'll go back to the stock bumper just have to figure out how to mount my winch, here are a few shots of the flexing it does I know I can get more out of it just takes time and good advice..

smokediver · 08-19-2010, 08:07 PM

Good looking truck bro, I did my bed black also. Just get out there and drive the wheels off it and have fun. I like the paint color different from all the normal"black,blue, and red"

Thanks a bunch man ohh trust me I do :P but I want to get a bit more flex out of it and it's kinda tippy sigh lol

Gimp · 08-19-2010, 08:16 PM

Looks good.
One tiny thing...... You need to back your paint with silver or black. In your last picture, you can see through the paint where the sun is shining through the windows on the other side. Plus it usually look better.

Good luck

i have a goat system in my Losi and i love it! swapped it in to my honcho for a bit, and it was almost too crazy! had loads of tourqe, and speed was too much for me! it was fun! jumpped it, wheelies, stoppies, and some sweet doughnuts!

smokediver · 08-19-2010, 08:22 PM

Mine seemed a little stiff for the first 15 packs I put through it. After awhile the shocks seemed to loosen up and get smoother.

All the oil's gone lol. JK, I've found all shocks I've used work better after a few runs.

That's funny you say that, I thought the same thing. I had a Associated T2 that did just the same thing, so it was the first thing I checked.

I'll do that to the new body I have

no point on this one I mean I guess I could just have to re tape the windows and stuff

So the goat setup is alittle much for this truck? what should I get?

rcmaniac78 · 08-19-2010, 08:40 PM

Oh and I took the little bump stop rubber things out of my shocks was that a bad thing to do? lol also I have these 2 packs just laying around both are 9.6v one is a NiCd and the other is a NiMh, the NiMh is a 1600 mah not sure on the other my question could I use them or my winch?

smokediver · 08-19-2010, 08:56 PM

I would try a nice 35t motor. I run a 30t HH handwound and it works like a dream. My kids each run the same ESC and it does a good job.
