Well Jack got the rest of his parts he needed to finish his Honcho from Mom and Dad tonight for his birthday. Spoiled little brat.

making good progress

[TrailDawg362]

I think it's only fair that we all get to give him ten Birthday whacks each .

[TrailDawg362]

I have 2 of these for sale, and the axle mounting plates (I forget who makes them). Get your weight lower and improve your CG. The batteries are in great shape, well maintained. Package deal, I'll have them with me at HTO.

Maxxamps:

The absolute best 2/3A on the market. Over 1600mah in capacity and the highest voltage under load of any 2/3A cell we have ever tested, including the IB1400 cell.
Popular 9.6V saddle configuration for Crawler trucks like the Axial AX10 Scorpion.
1600mah - 9.6v battery pack
200 grams

Are you looking for 2 real inches or 2 man inches???

I was cruising around some web sites doing some day dreaming mostly, and I ran into the RC4WD Mk42. Has anyone seen this rig or know anything about it? It runs on the Bully axles and I have read all the manufacturer's info on it and was wondering if anyone might have more info. Thanks in advance.

Did some reading seems like a nice rigcomp worthy hard to say why dont you buy one and show us how good it really is sounds like a good plan to me.

[Super]

Here is what Jack got for his birthday... Sidewinder, 35t motor, BEC, servo and a 5000mAh 3s battery.








All we've done lately is assembled the wheels.

[Super]

This is what I did today.....










It's just a start. I ran out of small zip ties so I'll have to do some shopping.
I also cut out some panels out of .060 styrene. What is the best way to put color on styrene? Can I dye it? I think paint will scratch off too easy.

[TrailDawg362]

Lookin' goood, both of them . Is that tuber your new comp rig? Do I see TSL's on there?

As far as styrene goes, it's fairly soft so it should take dye pretty well (never actually tried it though). Like you said, paint would prolly scratch easily.

P.S. You GOTTA throw some lights on that thing, all the cool kids are doin' it!

Basically it looks like Bully axles & a RC4wd diablo chassis with a DMG "cage" bolted on. Seems like a good deal for $300 RTR...

Stinkee & T-buck have Bully axled rigs & I think Kasper has or had one too.

I like the axles, but none of us are running that chassis. Tbuck has a moonbuggy, mine is an incesion, and I dont know what Old Spice has in his but it works well...

[Modean74]

Thanks for your answers. I really wasn't looking for a RTR rig but it seems like an ok deal. Now to go bust open the piggy bank and see if anything is in there besides lint and dust bunnies.

It looks like alot of bang for the buck. The tires might be questionable though. I haven't read many positive user reviews on those, but overall it looks like a decent package deal.

I noticed the same thing about the tires. I would get new wheels and rubbers for it first thing if or When I get it.

[TrailDawg362]

I think it also comes with plastic beadlocks, which may or may not hold up to alot of abuse. But hey, it keeps the initial price down and leaves room for upgrades .

Yeah the beadlocks are plastic and they don't last long. Acouple good falls with the weight of a Bully and they will crack ( been there done that ) they came on my Bully. Thought I'd let you know. Chuck
