Axial SCX10-2 Trail Honcho $50 Budget Build - Week 5 - Bed Corner Tail Lights

[@renobob7781]

Man, this has got to be one of your better segments on this build. Your explanation of battery terminology was very helpful. And those taillights are awesome! Keep up the great videos. Later.

[@scottrevell3622]

Been watching you for a few years, now. You never cease to impress.

[@EvaderKMP]

Those corner lights look sweet! Also works great that it's indirect light so anyone following you at night won't get blinded.

[@lylekehrer6159]

Those tail lights are awesome! Very authentic looking.

[@davidprince8893]

What a great idea for the lights. That is a real nice light kit you designed.

[@Blackeyecrow13]

Those tail lights improve the look ten fold. Keep up the great work in these videos!

[@bradcowart5044]

Great video Josh, corner bumper lights look awesome!

[@squareblueorange]

Rear lights look great! 👍 Really transforms the look of the vehicle.

[@TimberWolf429]

I have one of the original SCX 10 Honchos, and started off thinking that I was going to build a budget builder truck, oh was I wrong. After many permutations, and a ton of money, I still am not done. I have even gone so far as to stretch the frame, so I can fit a longer body on it. Now, I may be stretching the frame some more, to fit the one off, crew cab, dually, 1979 F350, 3d printed body. This project has grown, and I don't think that budget stays in the build, they always seem to get out of control, and you always end up with something a lot more grand than initially planned. Not that there is anything wrong with it.

[@nuge74]

Great job on filling in the bed corners with a functional item, looks great!

[@andyrichey1192]

Wow Josh, them taillights are awesome, I love it I am watching this whole build series thumbs up

[@shadowsystemsrc9389]

[@austinseela3071]

[@YYCRCFabricationz]

The bed corners & new lights are off the hook!

[@scottcomeaux4168]

I like the bed corner idea. Way cool!

[@chevyon37s]

The taillights look great, Josh! Great economical mod for the looks side of things!

[@robertrosson1990]

Cool way to change the back end

[@nathanwebb1911]

You and Matt are the best, thanks

[@mudguyRC]

The empire strikes back! That looks nice! You have to keep it ultra modern now- like something from SEMA. I hope you sell a bunch of those. Good stuff Josh!

[@kcbunn9239]

Great content! I really enjoyed the technical info on batteries. The new tail lights are badass.

[@davidwilliams5850]

Really liking this build dude! Thanks for sharing!

As always great video. I really hope you and Matt have a get together crawl off when this is done.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Axialfest is the plan!

[@gabrielheinsch6479]

Thank you for your response my questions.

[@souledoutrc8174]

This was an awesome way to trick out the Honcho I love the tail light and great information on batteries.

[@paultro8457]

Thanks for the battery information. Glad someone explained it simply and clearly. 👍 👍

[@WSquared60]

Killer taillights! I changed everything over to XT60 last year, they're awesome. I think Matt is leading you in the humor department but the technical information along with the build puts you ahead :-)

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

His openings are killer!!

[@jameshamiton3568]

Awesome lights

[@michaelthomas3262]

Amazing Light and very good Infos and Overview to the batterys 👍🏻

[@Ziggy8750]

I'm not a Honcho fan but damn I like where you're going

[@calcagno4545]

Great job on this video

[@Blackspike85]

Those lights 😍😍😍 Is it next Wednesday yet ? Can't wait to see what's next ! ! !

[@gabrielheinsch6479]

After watching your videos along with the scale Builders Guild I decided to buy my first SCX10 II I like the idea of following along with you guys building up this Trail Honcho thank you for all the tips and tricks this truck is great out of the box and even better after I switched the shocks and springs around. I was thinking of getting that S35 compound wild Peaks being as the Tire seem to work pretty well even in the snow I thought the S35 compound would perform even better and still leave me with some good ground clearance. Some companies do you think stamped steel wheels IG Mater SSD would be okay to add some weight without causing damage to the drivetrain? Thanks

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I try not to add too much additional weight, I just try to place the items on the truck in a way to keep the weight where I want it. Adding weight is going to break parts, the axle housings would be a high concern.

[@trymyluck8]

Nicee led mod.. bmw look like.. great job!!

[@customfastrc7671]

Great Job on lipo explanation. Honcho is , and will always be a classic. Great job, lookin good. Im looking for HD aftermarket rear axles for the Wraith. What is the best and strongest ? Thank You

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Best option is the Vanquish option, they are the only ones that are made from chromoly.

[@jasonlarouche1899]

Beyond bad ass keep it up

[@kinslersrccustoms6945]

I love your lights they look grate

[@jettthomas9453]

very cool light buckets! Im pretty sure Matt breaks his own budget rules in one of the first 4 episodes of this budget build he uses old parts that he didnt account for in the budget!

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Haha! Fantastic!

[@williamgreen9307]

Great video

[@bigmac5219]

Awesome

[@PapaBear6801]

Awesome video, can't wait for these to come out every week. I might have missed it but can we get a link to the led's you use? Thanks and keep up the great videos!

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Added it to the description

[@PapaBear6801]

Harley Designs You Rock! Thanks, man!

[@OliveRC-Addict]

nice look :)

[@rcnoypi8758]

Great rig bro...btw I got noob question from newbie guy..planning to get this honcho 2...want to run on BL set up I'm more on trailing bit crawling..any advice that will enlighten me? Oopss 1more quick question can the Flysky Fs-gt3c transmitter be use on stock Honcho 2? Your response will make huge help:) thanks bro! I'm sub now...

[@BTandKM111]

If you want standards get Thunder Power.

[@Drivewaycustoms]

Do you have a link to the led strip lights? 😄😄

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Added it to the description

[@raydamo4906]

So my Hobbywing 1080 ESC has a continuous of 80A and a peak of 400A. Does that mean I need to find a lipo to match that peak? My scx102 is just for crawling and trail runs.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

It’s the motor that you need to look at most, however an 80a continuous isn’t hard to achieve. The peak is kind of bogus as there is no consistent measure of what peak is in batteries.

[@renobob7781]

How can you determine max safe discharge & charge rate by your amps?

[@thomasgross8289]

What exactly is a "pretty good run time" I'm new to the hobby so I'm trying to get a realistic idea of how long batteries last, ty

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

4000 mah 3s is giving me 3+ hours of technical rock crawling.

[@LilmikeVideos]

Those tail lights are sick is there a file so we can print them or do we have to get them through shapeways?

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Sorry, that’s not a product I offer the file for.

[@LilmikeVideos]

@@HarleyDesignsInc ok I get it thanks.

[@gabrielheinsch6479]

Hey I was wondering I know it doesn't have to do with this week but did you do anything with the shock oil when switched the springs and the rear shock towers around?

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I did not change anything on the shock oil. The stock shocks barely hold the oil in as is :-) I’ll do more shock tuning down the road.

[@gaelangarrett7385]

Damn Josh! What happened to that prerunner bumper? Drive into a sink garbage disposal? Slick light buckets too. All these upgrades are great but how long till you blow the budget and bolt up some VP goodies!? Sbg is killing you right now.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

There will be plenty of time for VP parts, the good stuff has to come with time! Matt is getting lucky that he can’t drive his so he gets to do all the fun appearance stuff. I’ll get to appearance as we go, but since I’m driving it a lot, I want to prioritize performance.

[@mikes062]

Those tail lights are sweet! I knew that a lot of companies are full of crap on the C rating, I'm sorry but if you're paying $25 on eBay for a 3s that says it's 100c you should be smart enough to know it's not true lol I know traxxas batteries are quite realistic on their C rating. I think onyx batteries are too, do you know of any other brands that are actually truthful on that?

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I’ve never ran Traxxas Lipos so I’ve never researched them. There are many solid companies since most lipos come out of a small number of factories.

[@braydentaylor2805]

Another sick video thanks for picking me for the giveaway I will message you keep up the awesome videos 😆

[@MrHondaforeman1000]

Is there any other led I can use i click the link says its sold out

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Yeah, it doesn’t really matter the brand, just find some strip that can be cut in 1” sections.

[@braddahdussifyoumuss596]

How can I get the dimensions for those light buckets?

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

The dimensions are fit exactly for the Honcho bed, not sure which dimensions you’re after.

[@braddahdussifyoumuss596]

Ok perfect I just ordered some thanks bud 🤙🏽

[@dropbearrc9819]

Haha . Deleted, My bad. Will keep an eye out on your page . When will they be available?

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

They are available right now, links are in the description

[@dropbearrc9819]

Harley Designs thanks mate

[@TheRolands81]

No link for LED inserts.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I’ll update on the LED’s, that info was at my office. So I’ll get that added today!

[@pacbeltrr38]

Excellent video Josh!! I'm STILL wheelin' with NiMh!! 😵😱 Hey, I'm Old! THANK YOU though for that comprehensive explanation of Lipos. If I can ever afford the Lipos and Charger.... I might. I understand the advantages, and thanks to you, I now understand that "C Rating"! I thought it had something to do with output, but that's all I knew. Those taillights look GREAT! I have a very long list of things at Shapeways that I'd love to have. I'm trying to make the Wraith I'm building, as unique as I can make a Wraith!! 3D Printing is definitely the way. I'm so far behind that when I can finally afford a 3D Printer, I'm going to be lost past the point of turning the unit ON. 😫 I know NOTHING about CAD, and that's just going to make it worse. Oh well, Anything can happen in the future, right? Thank you for taking the time to do so many informative Videos!! Carmine 🚂

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

The jump to lipo is awesome for run time, power and weight but that initial cost can be a bummer. One day!

[@MY1973FIREBIRD]

How much did you spend?

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

The price breakdown is at the end and in the description of every video.

[@odomandr]

selling stuff like the lenses separate from the housing is lame. selling half a turbo is lame. Complete products please....... I was wrong. See comments below

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Andrew Odom they are two different materials, Shapeways doesn’t allow mixing and matching of materials within a “product”. That’s how every other store on Shapeways has to do it as well.

[@odomandr]

Harley Designs my apologies I thought it was how you setup the store.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

It’s a pain, I’d much rather have it as a one click option. I’m sure one day, Shapeways will make that change.

[@odomandr]

Harley Designs thanks for responding. I can see where that might make it more difficult as a shop keeper. I see that knights shop is the same again sorry if I came off inflammatory

[@imemovengeance]

Traxxas lies about their Lipos

[@adamhirerc78]

Outdoor Life traxxas lipos SUCK

[@imemovengeance]

Adam Hire /rc I'm sure you have a prefered brand of Lipo already but check out Helios RC. He's local for me and is truly the best lipos I've bought. Great pricing, true voltages and has different sizes in 3 and 4s.

[@adamhirerc78]

I've seen those ,I've been using floureon for smaller trucks ,& power hobby for larger trucks so far do good

[@Mutinyofthemind]

The only company that doesn't lie about their lipos has been SMC Racing.

[@imemovengeance]

DecadeOfAggression Do they have a pretty good life?

[@WoodedCivilian]

Love those tail lights looking sweet

[@Krazeeman]

holy shit those buckets look awesome reminds me of something i just cant put my finger on it
