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

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

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!

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.

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.

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

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!

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

[WoodedCivilian]

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.
😀 👍 👍 👍 👍

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.

[AMAZINGRC]

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

[HighhScore]

Decent amount of progress this week I’d say.

[Rrcbashr]

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

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.

[dsbrothers]

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

[bigmac]

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

[jerrylester]

Have u had a trouble with the steering servo?

[bigmac]

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