Got ma Axial SCX6 Honcho and the mods have begun! Truck is super sweet but everything can be improved and fine tuned to taste.

Proline PRO2814-00 SCX6 2.9” Method 305 Aluminum 1/6 Wheel Faces (Silver) (2) (+2 Offset)

PRO1018614 1/6 Hyrax XL G8 Front/Rear 2.9" Rock Crawling Tires

Pro-Line Axial SCX6 1/6 Dual Stage 2.9" Crawling Foam [PRO6376-00] because stock foams are too soft and fold under, bought enough foams to do the spare tire/wheel too

AXI254006 Axial SCX6 Rod End Set (20) to change front suspension geometry and get rid of the plastic offset rod end on the panhard bar

Axial SCX6 9 x 12 x 4mm Steel Pivot Balls 12 AXI254005 Elec Car/Truck because I cracked off the edge when pressing it out of the plastic link, gotta be careful installing/removing these balls

SPMSS9120BL Spektrum RC S9120BL 1/5 Brushless High Torque Metal Gear Servo (High Voltage)

VITAVON CNC Aluminum 7075 1/5 Scale Servo Mount for Axial SCX6 Jeep Wrangler Trail Honcho 1/6 to help keep servo from wiggling around but may need to buy the VITAVON CNC Alu7075 V1 ESC Tray & Servo Mount for Axial SCX6 Jeep Wrangler Trail Honcho 1/6...we'll see...

HobbyWing QUICRUN Fusion 8ight (2in1 FOC system)

TRA6482X - Traxxas Machined Mod 1.0 Pinion Gear w/5mm Bore (12T) to gear it down two teeth

BowHouse RC SCX6 SVT Carbon Fiber Slipper Pads [BWH-BS6-0010] because stock blue pads were smushed and bent along with the Axial steel slipper plates by an over-tightened slipper nut. I flattened the washers out with hammer on flat surface and then carefully surface ground before reinstalling.

VITAVON CNC Alu 2-Speed Trans Case Brac S Motor Mount for Axial SCX6 1/6 titanium anodized color, because the stock plastic mount wobbles back and forth like crazy lol

Treal Hobby Axial SCX6 Aluminum Differential Cover (Blue) [TLHTSCX6-80]
Also bought the Vitavon brass covers just in case, for trail tuning. Bought their 7075 aluminum C-hubs and shock towers too, just in case.

So far I've cleaned all the factory funky clear lube out of both diffs and the tranny, relubed with Lucas Red and Tacky, reassembled with the afformentioned mods...can't wait to finish and get it out for a good crawl! Been reading others threads here and researching before modding, thanks!

Making my own panhard mount reinforcements out of metal, but have the Bowhouse 3d printed pieces just in case I'm short of time lol.

Cut the nub off aluminum motor mount/slipper cover off flush (just above installed slipper nut height) and drilled the hole to be able to insert socket wrench to adjust slipper. Currently installed all the way tight, prefer no slipper.
