Axial rocksliders
Custom TVP chassis - steel
Custom framerail - alloy
Axial Honcho lexan
Stock wheels w/Duratrax v-spike tires
Thundertech wheel widners
Thundertech adj motor mounts
custom top links - 3mmthread rod & 3/16 alloy tube
TRX EVX2 ESC
AE Rx
AE Tx
AX2 servo (metal gear & bearings)
custom lower link mounts - alloy

Axial batteryplate & velcro straps
N-Savage alloy bars (TVP supports for Clod)

*still looking for something (thinking plastic if not alloy) 10mm thickness for my custom 3-link post mounts (not fabb'd yet, but designed *not shown yet*)

RC4WD steel bumper with tow hooks

Still waiting on the rear tube cage from Axial that fits this Honcho body to arrive?

Good looking truck! I didn't see what motors you will be using?

Keep the updates coming!

Re: Clod-Honcho
 

at the moment it is using the 540sh motors until i can find some nice 55t-60t motors at my lhs.

atleast i can run it but i doesnt have the low down Tq by any means. :roll:

Re: Clod-Honcho
 

Sounds good. I'm debating 45t or 55t motors in my clod. But I do think I'll go with 55t and run them on 3s.

Re: Clod-Honcho
 

Keeping in mind this is mocked up for now, i had to make sure it all worked good first.
Clod now has longer wheelbase by inverting the upper/lower links.
*Chev body seen in pics are temporary until i recieve my ordered 1980 Proline bod, painting it black.
