Axial SCX10-2 Trail Honcho $50 Budget Build - Week 6 - Motor Swap

[@gtneil1]

Wow... 6 weeks and no replacement links yet. These plastic ones must be much improved. Great Vid Josh. Appreciated as always

[@RUSERIOUS76]

They really are a lot better.

[@crawlhardrc7852]

Love what you did with the bumper panels. Looks like it was meant to go there

[@lawrencesmith6414]

Looks good I liked the side panel to cover up the hole in the body

[@connorboots6162]

Liked the brackets to use the bumper as a filler good work

[@Dazed1Hobbies]

Those brackets are genius!

[@SlickTrickRC]

Pretty amazing how different the truck looks. Just not everyone has or knows someone with a 3d printer. But cool to watch still.

[@shadowsystemsrc9389]

Ty for explaining the armature's on the motor.

[@thomaswoolsey2602]

I’m with the post below: I would like to see some sort of body mod and/or paint. A new body would be great too. My trick RC has some great LED kits that are super bright and they also have warm white LEDs instead of the blue white we are used to.

[@thenard442]

I just got my trail honcho week ago , I’ve been following from the beginning awesome build off

[@pacbeltrr38]

Josh, I'm not on who normally wins things (OK, I've never won anything!! 😜), but I'll definitely put my hat in the ring! My Wraith project just got a Holmes Hobbies 30 Turn TorqueMaster Pro Handwound Motor, and I couldn't be happier!! Holmes should be the go-to for anyone looking for high quality, personalized service and reasonable prices too. No, I don't work for them, just believe in the product. I'm surprised along with others, that the stock links are hanging on this long!! 👍👍 Carmine 🚂 (PoorManRC on RC Crawler Forums)

[@graymatter45]

Using those bumper parts that way is a great idea. I used some of your ideas and some of Matt’s . I m using some pit bulls on my honcho. I still need the Beadlocks though.

[@gravitymind1]

Dude! I love the innovation of the recycled bumper plate! It looks killer and keeps parts on the truck. Well done sir.

[@conoverbrothersbbt1272]

Dude I am LOVING these vids. I just got the new honcho 2 weeks ago, and you've given me sooo many ideas. Please keep these coming, thanks for the purchase links in the descriptions too. I'm an intermediate RC guy but a novice crawler and I'm learning so much. Keep it up!

[@EvaderKMP]

Great use of those plates!

[@jamesyocum2830]

I like the motor setup. And that free mod is really nice.. id like to have a set.. cant wait till next weeks episode.

[@BudgetRC_Channel]

That repurposed filler panel is a great idea.

[@blackdiamondrcranch897]

Can’t wait to see your wrap you put this truck body and change the Over all look 👀 of that Toyota

[@toucanproductions2935]

This was totally worth the wait. I’m really liking that you’re implementing 3D printed parts, since so many guys have printers and use and design parts.

[@kingscott1002]

Love the idea of recycling the bumper plates. Looks killer! I wouldn’t mind a set myself.

[@jarradjr2]

Great motor! HH crawl master is so smooth. At the end of the series SBG and yourself should make a crawl video together.

[@kcbunn9239]

Another great video in this series. Like I said on SBG, this build-off style series is awesome. I hope after this one is done that you guys will do a ‘moderate budget build-off’ like $100/week on another new truck. The side panels are 🔥🔥. Their lines flow great with those badass rear tail lights. Keep up the great video content!

[@rausundfern]

Wow! This build gets better and better! That recycling - 3d printed thingi is such an awesome idea! Really great work! 👍👍

[@Scx10diablo]

Those brackets look awesome. Thank you for the chance to win a set! Have a honcho on the way!

[@tylerpeckham1028]

It is looking really awesome. Bought my son one he is going to dig it.

[@bradcowart5044]

Cool video! Nice way to recycle parts from the bumper. Looking forward to seeing a run video with new motor.

[@joebaldwin3091]

Thank you sometimes the average builder needs fresh ideas lol I notice sometimes on a project I get builders block lol seems my imagination works when it wants any way really nice engineering looks really good I'm the same when it comes to seeing through the rig ...keep it scale and take it easy bro..😎

[@capitalcanecorso1314]

Hey Harley been fallowing both u guys on these builds..and loving the mods and differents between the both .. Those mounts are boss..i really like that ideal as it looks like it belongs there.. Very cool...anyways thumbs up from me ..bring on the the next video....

[@davidz.2984]

Love the panels...wouldn't mind a set😉. That motor is great for smooth starts. Can't wait to see the next running video. 👍

[@lorenwickstrom7852]

just finding this series from you and Matt. The reuse of the aluminum wing from the original bumper came out really cool, nice work

[@RCExploits]

Looks great. 3d printed parts are ingenious.

[@squarebodySpringman]

Your bumper panel idea is awesome. Id like to do that for sure. Great choice on motor too.

[@4WheelingBrian]

Looks great! I would say next mod should be a winch or something to change the appearence of the body.

[@robertmoore8395]

Really enjoying this build,its giving some great ideas for upgrades on my honcho,those filler plates for the rear are a great idea

[@MakeItRC]

Great video. I really like how you reused the bumper panels on the back. Very clever and it looks great.

[@bryanheard6471]

Glad to see you’re feeling better! Love the brackets. Would love to get my hands on a set.

[@SpearmanJeepAdventures]

I look forward to these videos on the regular. I love what you’ve done and the deadbolt budget build is what got me into crawlers. keep it up sir!

[@MY1973FIREBIRD]

Great video. Just wanted to say thanks for going into the detail on the motors was always confused about that. Really like how you used the recycled parts made a huge difference and the view of the truck.

[@Bustedrc]

The bed mod really makes it look much better. Great idea.

[@loganmcparland943]

I’d love some of the brackets. Already have a new bumper so I have the parts ready to go

[@andyrichey1192]

Josh that is brilliant, I have the side plates always wondered what to do with them.

[@NotStephenColbert]

Build is looking great! Nice replacement motor as well. I look forward to seeing it run.

[@clos73cl]

looking good bro little by little you're changing my mind of picking up a Honcho wasn't really feeling it when it came out all your little tricks and ideas making it look good👍👊

[@tonyholliday2347]

I love that you always innovate some kind of new bracket on your builds. This looks great and I hope I win a set of them.

[@davidbethune2235]

Cool as I like the bed fillers 😉

[@TheAweeone]

nice bit of recycling looks good i'm looking at those motors now lol

[@jamiesavery1973]

Looking good I'm loving the build off between you and Matt 👍

[@Chiefs_Estrella_de_Mar]

Would love a set of those.

[@shortbusecv49]

The build is coming along great. Keep up the amazing work sir. I would like some of those 3d brackets for the honcho cage and body. But hopefully soon I will get a body honcho body and cage. Thank you for the opportunity sir

[@kaonohialiipedrohale8249]

Sick modification! Wanting to know if I could win a pair . Adds that aggressive look to the honcho !

[@mudguyRC]

Cool idea with the bumper parts! Good tips on the motor- great video!

[@jasoncoatney6215]

Hey print me some! That's a sweet mod! Loving this series

[@chrisdoval7205]

Looking good Josh!!

[@dustinrenner7553]

Great move with the panels. Looks good!

[@frankuribe9630]

The panels came out looking good

[@catchmp82]

looking good every week! love the bed fill in's. Holmes electrics are awesome!

[@BlackSmithRC]

Great BUILD series bro! Just got a scx10.2 Trail Honcho, it's MIDWID! time!

[@alexr6113]

Looks great I think it could use leaf spring suspension in the rear

[@tim0339]

Alex R but he is going for performance and that would lessen the performance

[@sethmcdowell8202]

I’d like some of those brackets. I’m not longer using my stock front bumper.

[@RUSERIOUS76]

That's a interesting little addition. This build series of both trucks is making it hard to maintain my "No new trucks" resolution.

[@hillie47]

You mean "your wife/girlfriend's 'no new trucks' resolution"? ;-)

[@RUSERIOUS76]

No I actually am trying real hard to keep from buying anything new. I just purchased my first TF2 Marlin Edition for C1 and have my Toyzuki running for C2. I find I end up with too many projects and none of them get completed. Besides as far as she knows I've had them all for a long time no matter how new.

[@year1camaro]

I almost pulled the trigger on a tf2 last week. been wanting a leaf sprung truck to ad to the fleet. I'm so happy I didn't after finding a better source to purchase em. I ended up getting all the springs and brackets, axles, and frame for under $100! I got the transfer case for $25. RC4wd really hikes up their prices on China parts,,,and I mean HIKES.

[@carterparlin-hanzel6380]

I put a home Depot toolbox on mine and it makes it looks really good just a tip for you mate and thank you for this it helps me with my honcho

[@dennishanna1]

I would love to have that bracket for my honcho

[@jasonbrunda7957]

Great idea re using the bumper panels

[@ricksscalerc2222]

Way cool! Been thinking about upgrading my motor so im looking forward to a run video now to see how that motor does.i really like the side panels that was really clever and looks good.great job man.

[@jaanusmooses]

Hi Josh. I have watched almost all of your videos. I like what you are doing. I have a succestion for you. Maybe you could start build series for mud crawler ( different from rock crawler) I am still collecting money to start my own build but my idea is to use MPA axles by MST, put portals on them, use Capo cable steering and four steering, use 3 speed transmission and other interesting ideas. Maybe you could start your own build series with these kind of settings? Love your channel. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Estonia. :)

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I have done two mud truck builds in the past. If you’re going to build one, I’d suggest simple and strong. Single speed transmission and normal straight axles. Skip the portals, don’t do cable steering. Mud is hard on parts and those things will fail.

[@jaanusmooses]

Yeah, but everyone else are doing that. I want to use different type of settings. Everything is usable if I think things thru and make things strong and solid. I now that you have done mud trucks. I think that I have watched almost every build video in YT but alost every youtuber is doing same thing. I want to do something different. I used to build real scale mud trucks and mus crawlers but my health is not very good anymore. So I decided to start RC build. You know, in real scale innovation was the key to success, so I think that in RC world the same rules apply. I simply succested you to start building something unique :) You do not have to do it but I think that a lot of true RC fans want to see truly unique build :)

[@mathewjames9460]

Man this thing is looking sick! Deffintly helping with ideas for my build.

[@danielritchey3840]

Awesome brackets

[@YYCRCFabricationz]

The bumper panel mod is just sweet! Makes me wonder why Axial didn't finish off that ugly open space in the 1st place but really digging what y'all did!!

[@kingstonrc329]

Looks great man 👍🏻 good job with the panels .. very cool 😎

[@808wronchonacis5]

Build is looking good

[@101sailorboy]

i just bought a new house and im a little tight on cash at the moment this project seems like a great one to follow along with

[@fernsolo]

I wouldn't mind a set of the side panel holders for my honcho, that would be awesome, I don't have a 3D printer .

[@WoodedCivilian]

Loving the look of this truck man

[@renobob7781]

Nice vid Josh, glad you're better. Never thought of using those panels like that. I've got a Tekin fxr pro 40t on my Honcho, never tried any HH yet. Later

[@pamelamegan7467]

Love your ideas. Keep it coming. Can't wait to see more.

[@imemovengeance]

I think a front mounted motor setup would be great. Like the SSD RC setup.

[@ShenRC]

Nice update. 👍😊👍and upgrades.

[@braidenreid5196]

Great video as always

[@triplesped]

Great vid truck looks great really liking the budget build u guys are doing 👍

[@werescrewed3719]

Awesome part!

[@irvinthatwhitefk8]

Awesome episode

[@larrybrooks5477]

Keep up the good work!

[@fastkrt10]

Love this build. Amazes me every week.

[@circlekrc3073]

That is awesome! would love to add thos panals!

[@RcNickster709]

Great job Harley Designs.. Love the look of it man.. Thanks for sharing.. :)

[@joefriday6518]

How about adding mud flaps? Street legal trucks as such drive to the trails and I believe that most states require them.

[@Forest_duplessis]

Harley I’ll use that bracket on my Honcho, plus you already had something coming this way! 😬

[@kinslersrccustoms6945]

Hi this was a good vodeo and I all so hope that you are feeling better. I just love seeing how to do things that I never did befor and I was going to get the 13t crawl master motor from Holmes Hobbies I think that it will work well, Will not be as fast as yours. Iall so like how you reuse parts that you took off. It looks grate and fits that space.

[@Jeepy84]

13t will be faster. Lower turn brushed ~ higher kv brushless. That said, the 13t Crawlmaster is an awesome motor on 3 and 4s.

[@kinslersrccustoms6945]

Christopher Roskosh I run just 3s that's all my esc can handle

[@blizzardrc7024]

Nice job on the mods!! 👍👍

[@whatalias]

I like the gap filler think spend few dollars for yeah racing scale diamond plate would look killer painted black. I would like more on gearing in the future.

[@kobitkakustomsoffroadadven7187]

Your lucky your on the west coast now lol cause if you were still on this side of the country you would be late upload on thursday at 12:20am great video tho as always and love the bed mods

[@glennhobbs59]

That’s a awesome mod.

[@redturbofox9480]

Loving the series keep it up

[@17madracki17]

would like to see a axle mounted servo. maybe something other then UC Fab for a mount. would 3-D printing hold up ?

[@hendrixherrin4187]

Can you maybe do some tube work down the road?

[@newscooler12316]

you should do a build that the viewers pick the parts with votes!!!

[@mikeymike3240]

Hi, that's a great idea, best of all, it looks really good to. 😀 👍 👍 👍

[@justinrcguy6775]

great way to reuse parts i try to do the same

[@spriggan8088]

Aloha from Hawaii Josh! I've just gotten into the scale scene and have recently picked up a SCX10ii Honcho after watching the budget build series with SBG. Seriously awesome and helpful for someone like me just getting into scale building. I wanted to know the material you used to 3d print the bracket used to reuse the front bumper panels? I appreciate your time sir.....Mahalo

[@chriscampoy7063]

i would love to get a set of them brackets i am also ordering the tail lights ....love your videos

[@shauns7466]

I love the idea for the sides of the fuel cell but I can't find anyone to print me a set for my Honcho. No luck
