Axial SCX10-2 Trail Honcho $50 Budget Build - Week 2 - Tires & Tips

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

What $50 upgrade do you want to see in the series?

[@josephspiteri2792]

Harley Designs budget motor and esc

[@barharborbasher249]

The #benchflex got me thinking...Possibly proline shocks if that’s on the list.. then you can dial in the geometry for the links & steering or some cool scale accessories

[@coolasrc]

Hi Harley. I used your deadbolt budget build yesterday and I made my own copy of a howler custom battery and electronic tray. My scx10 was bone stock and now it handles so amazingly. Thanks Harley

Bumpers as i just got my first axial 2017 jeep rangler

[@connorw.h7549]

Shocks

[@kcbunn9239]

Great video. So many people look over the basic things with out of the box trucks. Good job on reminding the new guys to check and grease those ring gears. Let’s see some budget brass or weight down low, to help those KO2’s perform!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Great tire choice Josh! Looks like the weather is pretty nice for you as well... ;)

[@mudguyRC]

Good stuff Josh- the friendly competition between yourself and the SBG is good. It provides something new to RC KZbin. You know I’m team Harley all the way so kick ass!

[@chevyon37s]

I really like the RC4WD gladiator tires. They look great, perfect height, and have the best grip of any 1.9 tire I've ever seen. Again not the best for muddy trails but they stick on the rocks! I'm really liking the more shallow lugged and close voids on tires for pure rock crawling.

[@RemedyTalon]

I was fairly pleased with the stock tires on the Honcho, of course our terrain may differ. Another interesting thing to note is that the manual actually lists these as the R35 compound whereas Axial's website specifies the S30 compound.

[@pacbeltrr38]

Thanks for the tip on the Tires! Going a little smaller is also going to lower your final Gear Ratio, slightly. But then, any reduction equates to better Climbing Performance! I'm enjoying your "friendly competition". I'm catching both of you every Wednesday! At 53.... it's safe to say that I don't win Anything. 😖 However, in the Spirit of the better times ahead, I'll give it a shot! Carmine 🚂

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

The friendly competition is the most fun I’ve ever had on KZbin! I’ve known Matt for years but we’ve never collaborated on anything, makes me regret never taking an opportunity like this earlier!

[@pacbeltrr38]

You and Matt seem to really be enjoying this!! I sure am. He might edge you on the Scale Details - but you should get him back in the Performance Department!! I'm STILL hoping that Axial releases this as a KIT! I love it, but it's still beyond what this old, Broken Vet on Disability can come up with.... I do look forward to it! I had forgotten to Sub.... Fixed that!!! 😎😉 Carmine 🚂

[@ricksscalerc2222]

Awesome video! Im thinking front bumper,id like to see what you choose.love the fancy paper tool for checking clearance..ill have to remember that trick..looking forward to seeing more.

[@RcNickster709]

I must say, I am enjoying the build off as well. Glad I am along for the ride.. Great work.. :)

[@mikeymike3240]

Hi there, boy, you definitely have the technical skills, there's probably nothing you don't know about these rigs man. Great couple of videos. I'm not a fan of the type of body, cab and cage, that the honcho comes with, but after watching you guys work on them, I may get myself one. I've saved a few quid, but I'm unsure what to get. There's about 5 different rc's I'd love, but can't choose one from them. 😀 👍 👍 👍 👍

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Bodies are easy to change when you’re ready of course. I like to keep the same body so that it looks relatable to others who own them!

[@mikeymike3240]

Harley Designs hi again, i never thought of it that way. But I'm still not fussy on it. 😀 👍

[@AMAZINGRC]

Killer build, Bro...!!! Super Clean...!!!

[@SPEEDOFDOG]

excellent mods. thank you. will try.

[@bradcowart5044]

Nicely done , very informative.

[@dsbrothers2898]

Just ordered one of these bad boys. What type grease u recommend? I am a newbie.

[@HighhScore]

Decent amount of progress this week I’d say.

[@jerrylester2527]

Have u had a trouble with the steering servo?

[@bigmac5219]

Harley wonderful channel can I ask you a question how can I stop wheel wobble? I have a Axial Honcho.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Well are you sure it’s wheel wobble and not just tire wobble? Good foams will support a tire better and keep it more true. But tires on these types of trucks will always wobble. Now if it’s actually the wheels, you may want to look and see where it’s coming from. Worn bearings and plastic knuckles (or poor quality aftermarket knuckles even) can cause lots of wobble.

[@RTmadnesstoo]

Do you worry about mixing greases? Sometimes China uses animal-based grease that doesn't mix with petroleum grease. I would disassemble and remove all of the factory grease if it needs attention.

[@scottbray5936]

Loving this series

[@pwrofgrayskull]

Mayhem RC Same here, I'm loving it!

[@12R1rcbashr]

Awesome video man really enjoy is there any metal links for this rig any info would be appreciated happy bashing bro.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Links are covered in this series. It should answer any questions.

[@bigmac5219]

Ok I will some new foams and tires. Do you have a foam recommendation?

[@InvisiMan2006]

Without the spur gear cover, isn't there a worry about getting sand or debris in those gears?

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Open spur gears are not an issue, you’ll find them on tons of RC vehicles. It’s of no concern.

[@craigbarnes7290]

That answers the question I was going to ask, thanks guys 💪🏼

[@carloseblanco]

Hi. I would like to know if I can use 30k Silicone Diff Fluid to lubricate the transmission gears.

[@revd13]

Truck Newb here. Taking off the spur gear cover like that will that cause any problems with debris or water?

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

No, it’s really not a big deal. I don’t run a spur gear cover on most of my rigs actually.

[@revd13]

@@HarleyDesignsInc thanks for the quick answer. It really helps. I teach kids how to fly drones but now trail running and crawling has really got my attention. Trying to get all the basics in my head along with the gotchas before taking the jump.

[@adamnoga-styron7882]

I am thinking of getting the 1.9 hyrax are they a good tire?

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Great tire choice.

[@ShenRC]

Nice mods.

[@barharborbasher249]

Man... I was just trying to go to bed lol

[@Warwick3511]

Will you be making a video on the future of hobbyco bankruptcy? since it effects alot of brands.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I’ll touch on it in the Monday news video.

[@warrenholmes9171]

I Probably should have ask the wife before baking in her new oven.........JS

[@jobysanson6761]

#benchflex best video yet ha ha

[@dirtyfingersninja]

Lol. After watching this I tried and ripped a tire lol

[@jordanhemmings181]

Wrong, tire choice man, should have gone KLR’s 🤪

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I dig the look of the KLR’s but the price and not coming with foams just doesn’t work in this case. Plus, a licensed tire is a plus for many new people to feel relatable to the full size world.

[@eddyfpv652]

I'm 2nd

[@WoodedCivilian]

I'm enjoying the build off between you two keep up the good work 👍

[@fatherdaughterandsonfishing]

First 😂
