RUN & REVIEW - SCX6 Trail Honcho - THINGS GOT REAL!

You can find the Axial SCX6 Honcho over here: bit.ly/3DqEBdN
And the Jeep version here: bit.ly/3BKrqmN
Or of course over here: bit.ly/3BiFz99
Finally another version of the Axial SCX6 has arrived: The Trail Honcho! Taking some key features from both the 10th scale Trail Honcho and the recently released Axial Basecamp, this 1/6th scale giant packs an enormous amount of scale details and cool features to grab your attention and peak your curiosity.
Numerous hard plastic details are used on the bodyshell and the interior panel, the rear cage has a new, more aggressive look with an integrated stinger. There is a trunk in which you can pack away some tools or spares, a fully functional spare tire is included on the back and 20 LED lights illuminate the darker days and nights. Below all these new visual novelties you find the same trusted SCX6 chassis, with an all new Demello Offroad front bumper, some new bar styled rock sliders and updated internal wheel arches to keep things clean.
The all new Axial SCX6 is a 1/6th scale trail truck that packs a ton of features which you might know from its smaller brothers and sisters. This brand new developed vehicle has licensed items and some familiar looking design elements, such as the Trail Honcho bodyshell, the Black Rhino rims and the Falken Wildpeak 2.9 tires. Electronics are as you expect them all Spektrum branded, and thankfully the 2-speed transmission also made its way into this recent version.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Very detailed review, Chris. You covered it all, and still jealous of your larger workshop! Your outdoor space is spectacular too.

[@WinstonCorneilius]

I cant wait to see what crazy mods he does to this platform..."CHOPPED" lol

[@rcdriver]

The views while on the trail were absolutely amazing! Great stuff Chris!

[@SuperSavage35]

I really like this, the Honcho body just seems to suit this size of truck so well.

[@Rcschim]

Very nice landscape and trail you drive around there! I'm not so much into extreme crawling but into trail adventures. looks like this is a good RC car for that! greets from Austria, Mario

[@ferp4206]

that trans gear noise sounds like the transmission that i built for my new bright scx6

[@hemistormrc]

It’s pretty quiet compared to my SWB Jeep. Going to inspect that one!

[@daysdesigns]

I sure appreciate the fact that you are totally honest with your review and actually point out the things that are lacking in the platform such as the servo, tires and foams... even though you are basically a HH 'employee'. LOL It's not just a glorified commercial where you are trying to sell us the thing. Man what a fabulous place to showcase this truck. Looking forward to what you have planned for it as well.

[@hemistormrc]

There are always some things to improve as no RTR is ever perfect, best to be honest about it. Thank you so much for watching, Ryan!

[@eelgee]

Axial should definitely expand on the sxc6 platform. Absolutely a Capra and wraith. I'm not a jeep fan so I love this Honcho. Dare I say , a revision of the yeti!

[@hemistormrc]

Oh nice, with IFS! Thank you for your feedback and viewership!

[@deltatrick]

I just ordered one today! Can't wait to add some paint and personalize it a bit. Your landscape is beautiful and looks very similar to Georgian Bay in Ontario, Canada where I live. Your videos are very informative and fun to watch Chris!

[@17madracki17]

I'm holding out for the Bomber but this Honcho is tempting to have to help wait.

[@hemistormrc]

It’s a really stout vehicle, sure invites some more daring driving. 👌🏼😁

[@QuinnsRC]

Man if I had a grand to spend right now I'd be all over this thing. So awesome. Thanks for the review; successfully had me sobbing with rc longing. OMG 1/6 Bomber!! Yessir! Man you live in a beautiful place.

[@creekcreeperrc7972]

A 1/6th scale Capra would be insane.

[@bartbbb1046]

Glad you are one of the first to get your hands on this new truck! You have worked pretty hard on your other SCX6 and get a lot of experience with them, you're the right dude to check this new big baby.

[@johnharris4738]

I wonder, because this thing looks absolutely awesome trailing a scaling rocks, what the impact would've been if this was the first 6th scale they released instead of the Jeep. The market was so flooded with Jeeps after the SCX-10 version. EVERYONE started doing it in EVERY scale. Most seem cool, but still played out. Your 2 door project came out amazing though. Extremely innovative and it was just fantastic to watch your build process. That being said... different body configurations now would definitely be cool, BUT... what if someone was crazy enough to make this platform a 6x6. THAT would be... idk (there are so many adjectives) Crazy? Bonkers? Epic?

[@hemistormrc]

Thank you for the kind words and I think you might be on to something there! The parts pile that makes up for one of these is so promising and versatile that it truly lends itself for some creativity.

[@_Sphaxz_]

Rich from Axial was saying last night that they came out with the Jeep variant first since they weren't sure how well the SCX6 was going to sell as a new market category and for the price. The Jeep brand evidently makes them a little more marketable

[@jaredgreen502]

What a beautiful place! I also agree with you on scx6 fitting the chassis better than scx10. Great review & trail run

[@rcnutball4087]

You’re so lucky to have a beautiful backyard to play in. I thought hear in Hawaii had some nice places but nothing like you have🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@hemistormrc]

I sure feel fortunate! I hope to visit Hawaii some day, I've seen some amazing spots.

[@RTmadnesstoo]

Wow, Thanks for taking me along to the Beach! You always have such Great Videos I just wish they would come up in my feed like they're supposed to.

[@brokennib1]

Man, this body is great idea, considering I'm more of a Toyota guy, not so much into the Jeep thing..... I want to find out how much this total body set will cost. I imagine the bumper mounts will have to be swapped out as well.

[@kyleroberts5061]

The gnarliest nature guy I know with the commentary 😂

[@hemistormrc]

Hahaha! I do love being outdoors.

[@rc3140]

You always make my day better ✌🏼best wishes to you and your family. Can’t believe it’s been 6 years already that you have made me a much better RC builder. Thank you so much for sharing ✌🏼brother 😊

[@richw9205]

Beautiful scenery!!!

[@hemistormrc]

Thanks Rich!

[@MyRCChannel-CJScott]

I've been watching your videos periodically for years... back to when you painted that large scale BMW sedan with every color available. You sir are a true artist!

[@SirDevious1]

I think a 6th scale Wraith would be amazing! I wouldn't be upset with the 60's Bronco either. :)

[@hemistormrc]

Me neither, both would be welcome!

[@donniecaudill7026]

By far the best review and trail run of the SCX6 Honcho I've seen to-date, absolutely fantastic scenery to boot!!!! ❤💯

[@hemistormrc]

Very happy to read that, Donnie! I sure was under quite a bit of time stress to get things done.

[@CRAZYBUILD349]

we started a scx6 club,lol all my friends got them or getting one, went on sale at christmas, $829, sweet price, upgrades are welcome, i did subscribe, smash that like button, too!!!

[@raymonde.tanneratomic-rc9370]

Did a awesome job, thank you for sharing your time

[@hemistormrc]

Your viewership makes it worth it, thank you!

[@nielsjuhr594]

Really happy to see the JLU wasn't a one off and that Axial has continued the line. The Honcho body suits this nicely and that red color looks awesome. What would I like to see, the Bomber. I still have mine and still drive it more than my other trucks. It's always been a favorite despite being around for so long. It puts the biggest smile on my face and I love the driving experience I get from it. Curious to see what you'll do with this rig as it seems pretty feature packed and since you've modified 2 platforms already. Gorgeous place to go crawling, appreciate your content as always!

[@kyoz1984]

A 1/6 Capra... would be unstoppable.

[@hemistormrc]

It sure would. I want a 1/6 Ryft too though!

[@markhufnagel2744]

That out door seen is awesome ! Please do more out door events !

[@hemistormrc]

Will do, Mark!

[@rc_mountaincrawler]

Absolutely beautiful country you live in! Great video.

[@donaldrymer9511]

Good to see a video of you out on the trails again! Glad you have your Health back!

[@BUSTER246]

Capra would Be INSANE

[@hemistormrc]

YES. With wider axles. Portals. Dig.

[@michaelbarger474]

1/6th scale deadbolt would look cool! I pre ordered the red honcho today.

[@hemistormrc]

Have fun with it, Michael!

[@mikehagquist5198]

Bronco would be freaking slick. This one I might buy. I just know I’ll spend to much on vitavon upgrades

[@hemistormrc]

Bronco would be fantastic indeed! Let’s hope for more versions soon.

[@jasonbecker4997]

The world has enough rc Broncos! Would love to see something original. Maybe an old pickup or something

[@mikeupton5406]

Axial must have been in nirvana when they saw this video. Great review, awesome driving and video. All done with that stunning backdrop. You're always at the top for production values on your videos but this is standout even for Hemistorm. Dam dude.

[@olafstrand9965]

Killed it! love running footage.

[@mikehagquist5198]

Beautiful area

[@mentula3784]

I'm not a jeep fan and this is gorgeous, I definitely need one of these

[@cjrocksatit]

I like the gladiator in the background

[@onegr8greekguy1]

Love the new Honcho and the terrain in your area...beautiful

[@hemistormrc]

Thanks, it is a great place to test trucks!

[@BlueDually4x4]

Great review, and what a gorgeous place to do a review. I think I spent more time admiring the scenery than the truck.

[@hemistormrc]

I will do these type of videos more often, as there is plenty to show!

[@RTmadnesstoo]

I saw a Yeti XL irl the other day and I realized it was the first Axial 1/6th scale vehicle. Doll!?! Really? It's Action Figure!

[@hemistormrc]

I still have my Yeti XL, and my XXL!

[@fabianrengelink2662]

Mooie video Chris. Je hebt bijna 100 duizend abonnees, gefeliciteerd alvast! 👊🏽🚗💨💨

[@hemistormrc]

Dankjewel! Ik kan het bijna niet geloven, het voelt echt bijzonder!

[@offroad1911]

I was listening to your video in the background while I was working on my Phoenix until you said snack holder and I had to back the video up. Lol

[@hemistormrc]

Hahaha!

[@superfeschi]

Needs an extension for the lighting cables so it doesnt disconnect when you open/lift the body

[@hemistormrc]

They aren't too bad actually, and it is only a single plug.

[@dirtberger4533]

Man know I have to get one, my first crawler was the 1/10 scale crawler and I still love it. Thank you for the video 🏁🏁🏁🏁👍👍. Lunch break is over have to finish video after work 😫.

[@docc1008]

Oooooo, a 1/6th Unimog would be nice to see, especially with the body roll and suspension articulation based on its weight, that body would look amazing!!

[@hemistormrc]

That would be cool! Would be a nice one to paint as well.

[@traxxasfans]

Amazing truck great background

[@hemistormrc]

Thanks 👍

[@713Ace529]

Can’t get enough of this mega rc. Man!, I would love to see it in that water towards the end. Thanks for sharing.

[@mutosanrc1933]

I definitely tackle the same terrain with a 1:10 as you tackle with that scx6.

[@hemistormrc]

I can guarantee you that there are a few parts you'd have a hard time or lose the truck. Thanks for watching!

[@mikebultema2536]

I watched your video first and was very impressed with this rig. Was a little surprised by how quiet it is. Looking forward to see how you make this one into another masterpiece.

[@hemistormrc]

Cheers Mike, it is insanely quiet compared to the others I have.

[@ScaleCustomCrawlers-SCC]

Nice review and a great truck,enjoy it!Can't wait of what you gonna end up doing with it.

[@hemistormrc]

You and me both!

[@vizionct1]

Great review and awesome truck. Axial should def make 1/6 early ford bronco!

[@hemistormrc]

That would be cool!

[@HoundStuff]

Nice video and it was awesome to see the long running footage along that trail!

[@hemistormrc]

Cool to hear, I will do this more often!

[@DoubleADay]

If you ever get a chance to visit the Columbia River Gorge, it is the only place I found comparable to your fjords. I hope someday to visit Norway

[@hemistormrc]

Sounds like I need to check that out!

[@islandrc-duke1972]

Awesome RC and crawling, great review

[@STP_RIDGELINE]

WOW!!! Very beautiful place! Awesome vid mi big bro 👍 💯 I really wold luv to see a 1980's Jeep Wagoneer!!! I think that it would be a huge seller! Awesome vid as always mi big bro 👍👊🤙💯

[@JUMBOs-RC]

I'm waiting for a 1/6 "Early Bronco"... meantime I'm rolling my 1/10 Wraith on SCX6 Wheels with 2.9 Super Swampers and it's a bunch of fun.

[@hemistormrc]

That would be a nice option for sure!

[@jeffparryncc1701]

1/6 scale Bomber and Wraith would be great. Rock racing would be awesome to watch.

[@hemistormrc]

I agree that there is room in that market, despite Losi having some good options out. 1/6 Score Truck by Axial too?

[@jeffparryncc1701]

@@hemistormrc I miss the Wraith Rock Racing videos, I could watch that all day.

[@rcjono]

Great review! Hmmmmm….another great rig added to the needs vs wants budget flowchart….

[@hemistormrc]

Hahaha, that made me laugh, "flowchart" Thank you for stopping by!

[@longtalltexanrc3358]

Excellent review and a spectacular place to play with not so tiny trucks!

[@hemistormrc]

It is amazing to be able to drive trucks here!

[@danweiss4928]

Not sure we’re you live ? But you are a blessed man!! Having that view out your door.. good on you!! Cool truck

[@Doug_Morgan]

I have the JLU and it makes me not want to take anything else out. Love the 1/6th scale, I hope to add this to my 1/6th Jeep in the spring.

[@blakepurdum]

The ending view... beautiful

[@rodcognito002]

I'm surprised it took this long. I thought for sure when yeti xl was released a bomber would be next. I'm liking the honcho.

[@hemistormrc]

Well they did get it right this time around, as the Yeti XL did have a lot of issues. Always nice to see you stop by!

[@BlindGuyRc]

Awesome review man. Very detailed. Awesome run I love the area. Beautiful. Very much like where I live. But not..... Haha. Awesome video man.

[@hemistormrc]

Cheers Jesse! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mickd8188]

Your backyard is amazing my friend... killer place in the world. Honcho body looks cool. Cheers mate 👍

[@hemitj]

Awesome review and running! Thank you very much! Your scenery is incredibly breathtaking! WOW SCX6 Gladiator and Bomber or a 6x6 would be awesome.

[@mattmaitland5750]

Im picking up my first scx6 tomorrow cant wait!. Id love to see a 1/6th scale 4Runner body for this truck

[@ArmanRC]

look like that giant crawler so easy to trail on that rock, awesome scx6 👍👍

[@Masiviro_RC]

very very cool ! 👌👍💪 greetings from Indonesia 🇲🇨

[@hemistormrc]

Greetings back, I would love to visit Indonesia some day!

[@illic0]

Very cool studio 😮

[@andygrace3825]

loved the fjord driving, thanks for sharing

[@ryandavis9507]

I'd be all over a 1/6th scale early bronco or a Capra. & yes very well detailed review for sure gonna have to get one now.

[@hemistormrc]

Have fun, Ryan! Thank you for watching.

[@ryandavis9507]

Thank you I will!

[@daymonpancheri8846]

Saw this bad boy in person for the 1st time today & man it looks amazing! Gonna break down & buy it one of these days! I’m a Toyota fan & id love to see them make an FJ Cruiser body for it! Cheers from Wisconsin, USA 🇺🇸 🍻

[@STP_RIDGELINE]

Thanks!

[@dutchbiker7874]

Thank you so much for this detailed video! I'm saving up money to buy one myself😊👍

[@bradsnyder1016]

I think the obvious choice is for Axial to release a 1:6 scale version of their '67 Chevy pickup body .

[@hemistormrc]

Or even just the cab with the Honcho cage!

[@savagelife977]

I love it and as far as your question of something else 1/6 scale I think a bomber or capri would be cool

[@seandeanchevy]

Great video as usual Chris, the honcho looks awesome and I'm leaning towards buying one @ $1700 in Australia. I would love to see you turn it into a 6×6 recovery rescue rig. Keep up the great work and thanks for your time you put into the hobby. Sean.

[@hemistormrc]

Thank you so much for the support, Sean! I agree that a 6x6 should definitely happen at some point. 😁👍🏼

[@bradcowart5044]

Awesome video as always! Glad I waited to get an Scx6, definitely will be ordering one of these. The outdoor space you have at you disposal is beyond amazing! How was the trek back up out of there? Thanks for sharing this !

[@seandeanchevy]

Thanks

[@hemistormrc]

Very kind of you! 😃🙌🏼

[@rolexr]

Awesome location buddy - but you strictly have to avoid a rollover there !!! 😅

[@jkmayhem]

A yeti xl 2.0 please :D But a rockbouncer body on this thing. Hmm. That bouncing on the rock reminded me of that grandtour episode with the car just bouncing its way up the mountain. That it survived and not broke.

[@brentrobinson3274]

I like the honcho but I'd sure like a 6th scale high country Chevy Cheyenne just bought one from traxxas last week

[@hemistormrc]

Let's hope Proline reads your comment! ;)

[@curtisknudson8966]

LOVE IT!!! Thanks for the amazing review and run video. Yes! we all want more SCX6 options, Bronco , Capra, Oh Wait! BOMBER!!! Thanks Chris

[@jeepsterc104]

Where you live is an amazing place! Great review on an awesome truck. 👌

[@outlawrc63]

I can't wait to see what you do with the paint to make it your own.

[@gophop]

RC car mod for Skyrim looks sick.

[@TaigaTurf]

Amazing video.. Id live to see a full pickup bed version for sale. Perhaps you will fabricate one?

[@cflchurch2526]

Unimog or 6x6 , maybe a hummer. Looks beautiful!

[@rctraildriversuk-lone-wolfvide]

Great video, stunning location, i could have so much fun running my Modified Texan on that location re bodies a nice Ford F-150 would look good....keep up the great content chris

[@steelcityrc133]

Nice video! Makes me really miss Norway. My wife and I joke that were going to retire and live in Balestrand.

[@HBFTimmahh]

never dropped 1100 off a cliff, but I did Send the Mean Green Baja off the top of the dunes at Silver Lake at around 45 mph and flew it to the bottom, with a clean land. Is that about the same thing? lol Man I miss my bajas.

[@hemistormrc]

Man those were the days or what? BRAAP BRAAAAAP!

[@oldironsfury]

Always awesome videos , I’ll probably never own the big honcho but still great content ! 👍👍

[@scottdaubenspeck2291]

Outstanding overview of the new SCX6. Im thinking i may have to add 1 to the collection. I currently have a fully built 8s on portal axles scx6 and a stockish scx6. By far my favorite rigs now.

[@krashkingrc9715]

Awesome video excellent review and detailed awesome run definitely a monster rig.

[@hemistormrc]

They are massive and incredibly fun to drive!

[@jasonbecker4997]

Truck looks awesome but man what a beautiful area you live in! I don’t think I have the appropriate terrain for an scx6 but if I did I would be all over the Honcho.

[@shamossantiago]

Hi Chris!!! Nice one!!! Saludos desde la jungle lol 😆 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

[@RC4X4]

Awesome review and video. This is gonna be cool to get add to the garage. I'm wanting a Gladiator real bad.

[@hemistormrc]

The Gladiator is huge and so different to drive!

[@LargeeeScaleLife]

Super happy to see you this I’ve been wanting one for a while however I already have the 1/10 scale Jeep and I really just didn’t want a bigger version of that this looks way cooler I’m definitely pre-ordering one
