My first scaler - SCX10 Honcho

Hi Guys, i just want to share my first scaler SCX10 Honcho, i just used my phone to take pictures for now, once i finish it i will take more pictures of this scaler in action.

Have a look and maybe after this you'll decide to get one!

This is what you'll get in the Kit Version



Just finished building the axles



Main chassis with the gearbox attached



I attached the axles in the chassis and finished 1 tire (1 tire = 6 screws each side X 5 tires)



to be continued . . .

Joven what are the metal included in that kit?

looking good! enjoy the build

nice

you do know you can convert those axles for comp crawling with a bit of work!


but .... go scaling first as you intended ... some hop-ups you might want and will need


first upgrades you need are:

Steel Transmission Outdrives

MIP CVD's .... you need 2 of these


these are important cos you will break the stock ones for sure

.......

i would also change the 3 link set-up and go 4 link for the upper links .....

Vanquish Rear 4 Link Plate

start with the rear and see how you like it


.......

now if you want to go all out bling on your axles ...... go vanquish and dont look back (although the scale look will go unless you go with black powder coated ones)



Vanquish Incision Shock Hoops

Vanquish High Steer Knuckles - get the black ones

Vanquish Rear Lock-out in black


this will get you started .....

Hmmm... Looking good...

@Joven don't listen to Straw! hahahaha

BTW nice build! enjoy! don't be in a hurry...hahahhaa

Congrats joven to your scaler

what's next? an xr10 would be nice

mabrook!

continuation . . .

four wheels attached in the chassis.


here's the first flex of my scaler





added the electronics





I did a couple of test run to set up the remote and the steering direction and i decided to run it on a inclined surface and this is what happen next . . .



so for those who are interested in buying this kit, you can add metal drive shaft in you list.

bye for now and off to ebay to find metal drive shaft....

@strawb - thanx for the links....

very nice joven, keep it coming.

for a scaler, the amount of flex is more than enough

Very nice.................

the link i gave you for the MIP driveshafts will be a keeper ....

get them and all your worries will go away

Hi starwb, is this drive shaft good also?

that would be fine ......

i had a junfac made R-1 but i still opted to go with MIP's .... why?

cos they have that reputation of running bullet proof CVD's .... they almost cost the same anyways .... just look for the MIP's which come in pairs ... they cost less than $50 from amain ....

plus Junfac runs some hardened carbon steel ones ..... the MIP's just look and feel A LOT stronger


your call though

you can also use rc4wd's Punisher Shafts

The junfac shafts are very good, both in functionality and in price. The main problem with Junfac is they NEVER communicate with people....but if you get them on ebay you are safe.
I ordered from their site and they took my money, I heard nothin for 2 weeks and then the items appear on the doorstep. They always deliver.....just dont talk....

The punisher shafts are not very scale, but if you do manage to break them, you need to find another hobby, maybe anvil collecting.

continuation . . .

shell where washed with liquid dish washing soap and cut, i also applied the masking on the shell, planning to have white stripe on the body







This is my first paint job, there are few spot that are not painted correctly but not noticeable. Overall I'm happy with the result. cant wait to put this shell on and see this beast trailing with the other scalers out there, so guys prepare your scaler and LET'S ROCK!!!


i didnt remove the film overpsray yet...

my working table...

sweet!!!

buy, not buy, buy, not buy...

cool !!!!!


Mine in on its way also

GO go go woooooooooo! weeeeeeettt!

very nice jon i like the color remove the film and put them all together so we can see the finish product....but my land cruzer is better hehehehe.........

continuation . . .

i assemble the body and put some decals. i decided not to put some of the decals for window and front grill, instead put Monster, tekin and smal axial logo only, also the overspray film still on it. i will remove this only in the photoshoot . the head light are working now but the tail light need to add wire. and also the 2 lights in the bumber are not working or maybe i will remove this once i have winch.
