mrbiccies 6 Posted January 30, 2011 Hi guys, yeah its a HonchoHaving now had time to look at it closely I needs a bit of work on it. 2 of the shock's are leeking a bit, hopefully they just need doing up a bit more. The paint job isn't too great, I take it there is not much that cane be done with a lexan shell. Also the the paint is coming off the rear bed (Andy - I take it that when you painted your rear bed you used lexan piant and sprayed the underside?) I am hopefully getting all the left over kit parts from the ebay seller, so I can the have the right servo horn for a new high torque servo. Pic's attached Andy you have an email mate. Try giving the bodyshell a slight flex here and there, if the wrong paint has been used that will crack and flake off too.... Still a good buy even with these little problems mate.

Still a good buy even with these little problems mate. yeah and at the end of the day there's a whole load of things you can do to put the paint job right - even if it comes down to painting the outside!

arh21 0 Posted February 12, 2011 Honcho finally finished, all but some final at bash tweeks. Any dates in mind for the next bash? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteelRat 46 Posted February 12, 2011 Honcho finally finished, all but some final at bash tweeks. Any dates in mind for the next bash? Very nice mate! Only one thing wrong with it. It's much much too CLEAN! As for bash dates, I was thinking about this the other day, but the trouble is the weather has been awful just recently, so I reckon any dates we go for are almost certainly going to be rained orf. We could provisionally try for next Sunday at the Warren though and see how the weather looks ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrbiccies 6 Posted February 12, 2011 The Honcho is looking good mate. I can't do next Sunday as I need to look at my Bruv's electric gates which have packed up and he has already pre-booked me Have the roadworks at the Warren been completed?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have been passed that area a few times in the past week or so, and it's a right mess still. Although I didn't get chance to check that access road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Loads of fun crawlin', I got the brushless Clod going (before busting the servo horn on a tree stump), and took the Slash 4x4 for a spin and found that a 4000kv brushless motor and 2S LiPo, even WITH a modified wheelie bar is a bit much for a LunchBox Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteelRat 46 Posted March 10, 2011 Tomorrow I'm on a mission. Few potential bash spots I've found through Googlage, so I'm off with a Clod, my Falcon and a camera to scope em out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteelRat 46 Posted March 11, 2011 No fruit today after visiting potential spots in Sandgate, Ashford and Sittingbourne. Mind you, there's a thread on MSUK for fellow Kent bods with our dilemma, so hoping that might yield something. MSUK Bashing in Kent thread Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SteelRat 46 Posted March 11, 2011 Might be able to play Sunday for a couple of hours if anyone fancies it.... heh you know I'm up for it. I've just found what I think could be the answer to our non crawler bashing prayers. Big sandy area in Boughton Under Blean just outside Canterbury. I'm going to go up there tomorrow and have a look. Will report back with pics *Edit* Thanks to the wonders of Google Street View, I don't need to check it out. The pics speak for themselves. Boughton Sand Pit I'm resisting the urge to jump around like a big girl.. but that looks a bit flippin awesome if you ask me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteelRat 46 Posted March 12, 2011 Took a couple of cars over there this morning for a quick rekkie, and it actually looks really good. At the moment it's still a bit wet, and so the sand is quit clumpy. Added to the fact that it looks like a favourite place for off roaders, there's loads of deep tyre ruts everywhere. All that said, it's out the way, absolutely huge, and I reckon once it dries out a bit, the sand will be softer and more of it will be useable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
