The Brown Beast has arrived (Axial SCX10 Honcho)
Bean thinking about one of these for some time and have come close to buying one on many occassions, Then last week sold one of my Slashes with the intention of buying another 4x4 Slash but my current 4x4 ran so well I decided not to bother, So flicked on the computer when I got in after last Saturdays bash and what should pop up on the bay but this newly listed Honcho at a bargain BIN with free post. Didn't need to think long and it the button. It arrived today and so far very pleased with it, it is the kit version and came with a Fireball Crawler Motor, Lipo compatible ESC and Metal geared servo. Has been used twice and is in great shape with just enough scratches underneath to not make me feel precious about using it.
My main reason for wanting it was for family holidays, we rent cabins in forests quite often and I usually pack a Slash but a lot of the time there is no where to use it, where as this should be perfect. I plan to add a few scale bits and get all the lights the previous owner bolted on working and maybe a new cab at some point. Been looking on a few crawler sites and the possibilities are mind blowing.
will get some better pics when I can. Thanks for looking....

Its the 1st one i have seen conquering a pot of fish food Looking forward to seeing this running. Dont think there are many fish flake pots in the woods though so you will have to make do with hills and tree roots

what turn fireball is that, i have the 60t in mine with a 23t pinion, not overly slow and loads of torque.

Very nice and congrats! You will like this rig a lot. Even though the Flat Irons are OK, I suggest some RC4WD skins for some better scale looks and performance. Try to find some loose sand hills and such - loads of fun.

Looks great!! I like it, I just bought one of these tonight for my youngest daughter(she is ten), I am always working on projects and she asked if she could build a crawler that she could drive. We looked at a few and she liked these trucks. Have fun with it!!
