- Axial SCX10 Honcho -

[Dr. Kustom]

I think I'm officially joined the 1/10 club. :ohno: Here's my first ever hobby grade 1/10 RC, Axial SCX10 Honcho Kit, that just got delivered today. Haven't decide what ECS/TX/RX/Motor combo yet. Here's how far I got up to. Keep in mind, this will be a slow build. :)

Unboxing:

That's just badass man! Wish I had the money to afford one. Are these pretty slow for crawling in stock form?

[Lucky7]

That is exactly what I ended up doing this weekend. :)

[xModsdude2.0]

I have been thinking of getting one but i dont know how hard they are to build so is it really hard or it just takes a while?

[ling427ttvette]

I have been thinking of getting one but i dont know how hard they are to build so is it really hard or it just takes a while?

I've never built one personally, but I can imagine that patience is a major bonus with building one of these, and paying extra attention to everything. Just take your time, read the instructions thoroughly and don't get frustrated.

It will take a little time, you probably could do it in a day if you stuck to it but I wouldn't recommend it.

[Dr. Kustom]

Thanks Kevin, it took me a while just so I can afford the kit! The RTR version comes with a 27T motor, for sure that they are not super fast, but still have a nice amount of speed. The motor I ordered is a 45T, still waiting for it.

That is exactly what I ended up doing this weekend. :)
Nice!

The hardest thing is to save up for all those expensive parts. :lol: Other than that, it's definitely not hard to build.

You are right about that! It's possible to build the whole kit in 1 day. I just took my time on it.

[xModsdude2.0]

thats another thing i have very very low income so i practically go on my dads budget :lol: so dont look like im gettin one soon!

[texan_idiot25]

Mitsu Pajero.

Still, the aptly named Honcho is the 4x4 master race you're looking for;

[Dr. Kustom]

Not Suzuki or Mitsubishi. Anyone want to take another guess? :p

[TNT Customs]

Toyota land cruiser(LC80?) like the one you sent me and the xmods conversion you did of one and the losi crawler one you did

Haha, thanks! Nope, not a Pathfinder. But it is a Nissan. :)

[Lucky7]

Lights really set it off. I ended up getting the Axial light kit but did debate the 3Racing set. Have not installed the turn signals since I was unsure where to put the rear ones but I like where you installed them so I think I may put mine there as well.

[TNT Customs]

Haha, thanks! Nope, not a Pathfinder. But it is a Nissan. :)

Nissan Xterra? But whatever it is i cant wait to see how you make it

[Dr. Kustom]

Nissan Xterra? But whatever it is i cant wait to see how you make it
Nope. :lol: Let me give you another hint, it was not sold in the U.S. market.

[texan_idiot25]

Gotta be a Nissan Patrol then.

[Dr. Kustom]

Gotta be a Nissan Patrol then.
Correct! :bigwink:

[Dr. Kustom]

Update: So I've been driving my SCX10 in the water/mud a lot recently...

http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x396/Dr_Kustom01/Axial%20SCX10/P8170690.jpg

http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x396/Dr_Kustom01/Axial%20SCX10/P8170692.jpg

And I think that it is time to take it apart and re-build it. So I've seen that people like to use marine grease inside the axles and tranny to prevent metal parts from rusting. Unfortunately, I couldn't find marine grease locally. Instead, I've picked up a Castrol multi-purpose chassis grease. I read through the label from the back, sounds similar to the purpose of the marine grease. So I decided to give it a try.

http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x396/Dr_Kustom01/Axial%20SCX10/IMGP0148-5.jpg

I've took the entire tranny and axles apart for clean up and re-lube with the Castrol grease.

When I took the front axle apart, it was a lot worst than what the rear axle looks like.

http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x396/Dr_Kustom01/Axial%20SCX10/P8180714.jpg

Rusty bearings.

http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x396/Dr_Kustom01/Axial%20SCX10/P8180715.jpg

So I took some sandpapers and cleaned up the rust as much as I can.

http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x396/Dr_Kustom01/Axial%20SCX10/P8180692.jpg

The bearings are looking like new again.

http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x396/Dr_Kustom01/Axial%20SCX10/P8180693.jpg

Also rebuild the motor.

Only one question.. how much do you charge per vehicle for cleaning and detailing? :)

Looks fantastic. As always.

How are you liking the Holmes Hobbies motor?

[Dr. Kustom]

How are you liking the Holmes Hobbies motor?
I bought my motor and ESC as a combo. It let you pick 35T/45T/55T, I picked 45T, it's a nice motor, very easy to maintenance. The motor have a lot of torque, but not too much speed, it's a slow walking pace. I'm looking to order the Cobalt Puller 7T motor once they are in stock.

[Lucky7]

The hobby shop I got my Honcho at only had Venom motors. I got a 55t and it works quite well but I have been thinking I would like a little more speed and have been looking at the 35t HH motors. Want something faster but still a scale trail truck speed.

The 35T are what most of the scaler guys use. It have a little more speed, won't be extremely fast.

Because of the new motor is a bit longer than the old one, so I had to re-locate the battery to the rear of the chassis and removed the truggy bed.

By far, out of all the motors I've used on this rig, the Tekin T35 Heavy Duty is my favorite. As you can see, my SCX10 is getting dirtier each day.

After having all those fun times with the SCX10, I end up with a broken drive shaft. Looking into replacing both shafts, any recommendation?

[mycrors4]

go with the MIP shafts if you can afford em, or the junfac ones

both are really good, ive had experience with both

How about the RC4WD punisher drive shafts?

[mycrors4]

How about the RC4WD punisher drive shafts?

never had experience with em, but from what ive heard and seen, rc4wd internal products arnt the best

im lovin the polished look over the white one. gives it that "project truck" look
keep em comin jason, im always anxious every time you have an update

[Lucky7]

Did the Tekin 35T come with any wiring? I am thinking of getting one but don't want it to arrive and then realize I should have bought wire and connectors at the same time.

you just have to soldier your ESC wires to the tabs. i may be wrong but like any other brushed motor it comes with just the motor, meaning no wires

[mycrors4]

winner here is right
just solder the esc wires onto the motor

most high end brushed motors do not come with wires.

[Lucky7]

Good to know. I have only dealt with Clodbuster motors, a CC01 motor and a venom 55t all of which had the wires attached. Kind of figured the higher end motors were wireless but wanted to confirm so I was not surprised.

[Dr. Kustom]

Took me awhile to check back at this thread due to poor internet connection. :( Winner and mycrors4 are both right, usually the high end motors does not comes with motor wires attached to the motor. One of the high end motor I know that comes with motor wires is the Holmes Hobbies Cobalt Puller.

Small update: I sold all my 1.9 wheels, and order some new 1.55 wheels yesterday, hopefully they will show up within a week or two.

[Dr. Kustom]

Update: So I sold the 2S Li-Po a few weeks ago, and upgraded to 3S, with deans plug conversion!

http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x396/Dr_Kustom01/Axial%20SCX10/IMGP0145-8.jpg

I also sold all my 1.9 wheels...to get those 1.55! RC4WD 1.55 OEM steel bead lock rims with 1.55 Mickey Thompson Baja Claw TTC tires.

http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x396/Dr_Kustom01/Axial%20SCX10/IMGP0144-8.jpg

Each rims were packaged separately.

http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x396/Dr_Kustom01/Axial%20SCX10/IMGP0146-8.jpg

http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x396/Dr_Kustom01/Axial%20SCX10/IMGP0147-8.jpg

Now that I switched to 3S Li-Po, I won't be able to mount it on the original location without raising the body mounts to the highest setting, and I don't want to mount the battery at the rear of the chassis, because I want to keep the truggy bed. So, it's time to relocate all the electronic.

I picked up a project enclosure box from RS, to store the receiver and 3Racing light kit. Before I place the receiver in the box, I put it in a balloon and zip tie the end of the balloon to keep the water out of it.

http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x396/Dr_Kustom01/Axial%20SCX10/IMGP0149-9.jpg

Now for the ESC, I'm still running the Holmes Hobbies TorqueMaster BR-XL, the one I got is waterproofed already. So I took the original receiver box that comes with the SCX10, and put the ESC in there, to keep the mud/sand off the heat sink and mount it all the way at the front of the chassis.

http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x396/Dr_Kustom01/Axial%20SCX10/IMGP0150-7.jpg

As for the battery, I could not mount it up front, due to how big the battery case is. So I mount it right above the receiver box.

Update: Left the rig as is overnight, took off the lid this morning and most of the chassis is still pretty clean, the wheel wells did their jobs.

**** that thing has got some zip!

I just received an HH BR-XL and 13T Crawlmaster motor for my latest build. Its all set up and hopefully I can take it for a spin. If it works as good as it looks I am planning to get a 35T Torquemaster for my SCX10. I see you running the Cobalt Puller and and how zippy your truck is yet it seems to do slow very well. Thoughts and opinion on it? Advantage over a Torquemaster or Crawlmaster?

[xmodsNSX94]

I begin to love this thread more and more with every time i read it haha

few questions though, do the wheel wells affect maneuvers at all? like climbing rocks and stuff?
does the sponge filter affect motor performance? only i tried it once and it ruined my motor?

thanks in advance

I've tried out 3 different motors with many different gearing on this truck; Tekin Heavy Duty 35T, TorqueMaster Sport 45T and the Cobalt Puller 7T. The 35T and 45T are very similar, both are 540 size. They share the same motor cans, only differences are the armature they have in the can, the 35T have more top speed and the 45T have more torque. They are both very easy to re-build. Now for the Cobalt Puller 7T, it offers much higher top speed with very stable low end torque. It's a 550 size motor, the can is a bit longer than the 540, but it will still fit fine on the tranny without any problem. I've lowered the gear ratio on the axles and tranny to get the most speed out of it, and yet the 7T still offer a great low end throttle.

I haven't try the CrawlMaster motor, so I don't have any thoughts on that.

The wheel wells have no affect to the suspension. They are mounted high enough even when the suspension are fully compressed, the wheels will not rub against the wheel wells. There are also spacers behind the shocks mounting point, it off-set the shocks with the wheel wells. They does great job keeping the mud and water out of the motor and tranny.

So far, I haven't had any problem with the filter on the motor yet. Because the Cobalt Puller 7T motor have a big open area on the end bells, so the filter will keep the brushes dust off the chassis and keep the mud/water (if any) away from the brushes.

was it already curved in that shape or was there some bending/shaping from you?

Took it out for a quick run, and broke the front bumper mount. :(

So I had to take the front bumper off.

Thanks John! Would love to see a pic of your 1:1 Taco. I wish there are more snow over here in NY. All the snow got melted within 2 days, it was 25F 2 days ago and today was like 54F. The weather is crazy.

No big deal on the front bumper, as I didn't plan on keeping it on the truck for long anyway. :lol:

Hopefully you can get your hands on one of those Axial rigs, they are awesome!


Update: One of my HID light bulbs gave up on me, so I decided to switch back to the OEM light bulbs.

Simple and clean, I like it. :) For the yellow headlight lenses, try sand papers and rubbing compounds.

I am really liking your tire and wheel combo. Ever since I got the Wraith with 2.2 tires my SCX10s 1.9s are looking small. I might try the 2.2s on it but I think they might be too big looking. Your tires look bigger but not hugely bigger.

Thanks Lucky7! I'm using 1.55 tires, they are called Baja Claw and its about few mm taller than the 1.9 Flat Iron tires.

Drove to a local park today to shoot some photograph.

As I was about to leave, I spotted a Tundra was following me...

http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x396/Dr_Kustom01/Axial%20SCX10/IMGP0159-5.jpg

Had to take some pics of it.

No exactly sure on the cost, but probably not cheap. :lol:
