I love love love love love my SCX6! It's even better when you sink a couple thousand dollars of Vitavon and electronics into it! Super Swampers and 3Bros Anit-Foams are the way to go!
I know this was just posted 1 minute ago but DUDE I'm so stoked for you!!! It took everything in my power NOT to pull the trigger on ANOTHER SCX6 after I saw your Short! I bought the original the day it was released and it's been my favorite RC of all time. I did a full rebuild last winter and other than new foams and a direct power servo I haven't had to upgrade or fix anything other than a suspension link that was a victim of the massive torque an NSDRC servo can put out
Got it on release too and definitely went straight to the NSDRC servo as soon as it was released! I did a few extra things too like shock towers and braced the panhard n overdrive, tires, foams, lights and more. A great rig!
If you watch the panhard mounts and servo mounts,they flex a lot. I replaced mine with vitavon c hubs/knuckles plus the front shock towers since it incorporates the panhard mount. That made a huge difference in the steering response. I also fell in love with the vitavon v2 wheels so I got those for the super swampers I had to get. I run in wet conditions mostly and they never disappoint me. I put steady foams inside and they work amazingly. They flex but they hold up great on side hills. I've got more with more planned but like you said, it's an amazing truck right out of the box
Awesome! Look forward to all your mini crawler videos, and now this one too! I also just ordered one because amain had them at $829 PLUS! 10% off. Putting it at about $750!!! Couldn’t pass that up. Thanks for your content! 👍🏻
My buddy and I run our SCX6 almost every weekend at an old missile site with blasted ledge. Our 10s were fun there but the 6s are on another level. You’re welcome to join us. Up in Middleton Mass
I run steady foams in mine and they work great I also have a bec running at 8 volts and it really helps the stock servo. I know the servo isnt made to run that high of voltage but when it dies I'll replace it.
I got the same truck during that deal. Really impressed with it. Glad you took it to a course! I'm way too scared to do it yet. Found that the stock ESC settings were kinda odd, especially the BEC at 6V. Maybe just my servo, but it was worthless at 6V, fine at 7.4. Steering servo specs show a rating for 7.2, seems ok so far. Need a program card to set the BEC.
Ordered mine, but missed first batch at discount price, got the discount from A main, also ordered the 1/10 vanquish retro falken portal, should be interesting seeing these things attack different obstacles.i tend to keep most of my crawlers stock for a while before changing things up.. Adam this was a great video with great audio and comment, thanks once again for you involment in the hobby.
My car hauler truck is 3 feet long, I’ll have to check how wide the body is didn’t think of that one, but yes I always wanted to get that 1/6 scale just never pulled the trigger. But my car hauler I just got made up for it turned out worth the wait 👍👍😎
I always looked after the SCX6 Jeep cause i got the SCX3 JLU and love it. And i saw one at an Event and it came out bigger for me then in the Pictures. As u say.. when u see it in real omg;) But this Honcho in red omg, after your Video i want one ^^. The Lights omg i love it and the easy Swivel mount also. Thats the only annoyingt thing on the 1:10 Jeep, taking the Bodypins in and out. Mabey next Season when the Sun comes out here in Germany i will get one. For now i stay at Home with the small ones and saving Money for the SCX6 ^^ Great Video i really like your Videos.👍
Wow Adam, totally stoke for you mate. There's something about these big crawlers right? I love mine, cinematic, capable and durable. Love them! I would love one of these one day!
Sweet truck man 🤯😁 i am just finding the scx6 😉 i have an arrma fireteam that i have built up to the max 🤣😉 running 6.5" tires on that and max6 combo. But that sucker is more of a speed demon and huge jumps. Like moto cross track stuff 😉 i love the squishy tires. I bet that helps a ton with traction on that kind of cruising. I am thinking of building one of these from scratch instead of buying one and upgrading all the stuff 😁 all metal. I am probably close to $2500 on the fireteam. The truck in begining was like $750. +++++++🤯😉 Thanks for the great video man!! 😁 I want one 😉
Nice video awsome rig my dad almost bought one a while back but decided not to have you ever driven an x max my dad and I both have one and they are so much fun they are more for speed and not crawling but still a lot of fun!
Well happy birthday dude, I just got my Christmas present from me to me, the new red cat 1953 Chevy COE car hauler truck Yep I’m here watching 6:08 PM Wednesday
Glad you were able to grab one of those. Even with the sale, I just couldn’t responsibly swing it this time. Looking forward to seeing how you decide to build it over time. Do you think you will go for capability or keep it more scale looking?
Probably more scale. It’s so capable as it is I really don’t feel like it needs any more. I honestly love how it looks too so I think my upgrade list will be pretty short!
Just bought the blue tooth module and cell mount that clips on the dx3 controller, $35 both Wreckless has in stock Adam. If you want I’ll pick you up and donate to channel
I have a Nissan Titan body that I got from the store bought might be about the right size for that I'll have to measure it up and look up the measurements on the Honcho
I almost pulled the trigger on one at the sale price, but decided to order the supposedly "in stock" vs4-10 ultra instead. Now i find out they are back ordered until the end of December at the soonest. They are only getting 5 in and have no idea where i am on the list. I guess i should have ordered the scx6 instead.
Congrats on the Great Birthday Gift 💯I am like you and wasn't real intrigued with the JLU SCX6 but when I seen these Trail Honchos for the first time then My Hobby Addiction Started Quivering LOL😆 I had to miss the BF Sale But Luckily The HH Last Minuet Sale Carried over to my favor with a Tan Version Beside the Christmas Tree 🎄 Anticipating The Trailwalker RC Adventure with the BIG CRAWLER ✌🤠👍HFLPRCing =Having Fun Laughing Playing and Rcing 👍😎👍 AOAH =Association of Addicted Hobbiest 🙏 SSPH =Stay Safe and Play Healthy My Friend and⭐🎄⭐ Merry Christmas (I've Subbed and of course Liked)
This is great. I only do 1/24 but have been curious. I wonder what other platform I would do... (the best amount of RC trucks is x+1) Short list for me if I did this would be servo, wheels/tires, paint, ESC/RX options, battery options, motor upgrade.
Good vid. Curious question, do you think one can run dual 3S 10000mah batteries in the honcho with no issues? Assuming still using stock servo esc etc.
Wish me luck. I need to see how I fit the batteries on. I’ve learned from other RUclips videos I can run both batteries as long as I have them in parallel series. Mines Scx6 sand color should be arriving tomorrow.
Ah dayum man, now I gotta add this my wish list! Xmaxx, Mojave and now the scx6 Honcho. REALLY interested in you doing mods to this, not even sure there are any?
There are some but I’m not sure what it really needs! Wheels and tires and some metal components up front to tighten up the steering is what I’m thinking
LOL. A you are finding out... it really does need some upgrades... but what RTR doesn't huh? Bummer... but the truth. But homie... it becomes something unbelievable at that point... it's straight nuts. I've got some VITAVON bits, links, braces, shock towers, wheels and tires, oh geez... long list. Oh and I had to upgrade power plant and run on 8s.
I cannot believe you're subscriber count and your like view count man like you just come into this little over a year ago right and look at your channel bro it really blows me away I mean I'm grateful for you but it's like wow there's other guys been doing a lot longer and it's not getting that much attention you know you got to be doing something right which I'm not saying they're not it's just
It was only sale for $850, which is great considering a $250 servo is pretty much mandatory for this thing, the stock one is durable but awful at turning the wheels
That new CJ is gorgeous. Tough call! The honcho is monstrous and much more expensive. So it guess it depends on what you like more: scale Jeep look, or full beast mode monster!

I caught that on Exo’s video after I uploaded this as well. I’m going to give they upgrade a shot for sure

do they still have 10% off?

Looks like an absolute beast and a well deserved birthday treat. 👍🎂
I love mine. You have to be able to follow where this rig is going - amazing
Hi from Bavaria
You should make more footage of the 1/6. Just bought mine it’ll be to me Friday. I can’t wait
Ordered mine, but missed first batch at discount price, got the discount from A main, also ordered the 1/10 vanquish retro falken portal, should be interesting seeing these things attack different obstacles.i tend to keep most of my crawlers stock for a while before changing things up.. Adam this was a great video with great audio and comment, thanks once again for you involment in the hobby.
Thanks! You’re going to love that vanquish. It’s one of my favorites!
Yeah I really like the redesign of the cage, with that stinger bumper on the back there Sweet 👍👍

some anti foams would make a huge difference that thing is sick love it
Wow Adam, totally stoke for you mate. There's something about these big crawlers right? I love mine, cinematic, capable and durable. Love them! I would love one of these one day!
I wish this was a kit. Please Axial!

You should see what Logan does with it off of West Desert wheeler that thing can perform
Great video.I have one i bought for myself put away until Christmas
Great video. Love the honcho over the jeep, but axial did a great job on both trucks
Nice video awsome rig my dad almost bought one a while back but decided not to have you ever driven an x max my dad and I both have one and they are so much fun they are more for speed and not crawling but still a lot of fun!
Well, time to start upgrading, enjoy. Start with the servo and shock towers. Oh and antifoams.
Well happy birthday dude, I just got my Christmas present from me to me, the new red cat 1953 Chevy COE car hauler truck Yep I’m here watching 6:08 PM Wednesday
Time to get the file of Matt's head from SBG and print a driver! 😂
Yeah that was crazy, that was barely a bump went right over cool
I was just down here yesterday I live across the street I was running my sand colored one! I’ll run into you sometime!
Glad you were able to grab one of those. Even with the sale, I just couldn’t responsibly swing it this time. Looking forward to seeing how you decide to build it over time. Do you think you will go for capability or keep it more scale looking?
Probably more scale. It’s so capable as it is I really don’t feel like it needs any more. I honestly love how it looks too so I think my upgrade list will be pretty short!
My very first crawler was the honcho 10th scale
i just saw my first one at my hobby store today they're huge
I ordered the Tan version, but it’s backorder until May 2024, so a bit of a wait!
It will be worth it!
Just bought the blue tooth module and cell mount that clips on the dx3 controller, $35 both Wreckless has in stock Adam. If you want I’ll pick you up and donate to channel
That’s very generous of you! Send me an email and let’s talk more about it
I have a Nissan Titan body that I got from the store bought might be about the right size for that I'll have to measure it up and look up the measurements on the Honcho
Everytime I see these 1/6 scale trucks at the hobby store, I always have to stop and try to pick it up😂
It can double as a home gym as well 😆
Great rig , looks like it could handle just about anything you throw at it. Awesome video Adam 👍😊
I want one. And also I think that was a good buy for you, a great stress reliever. Work hard Play hard.
Absolutely!
I almost pulled the trigger on one at the sale price, but decided to order the supposedly "in stock" vs4-10 ultra instead. Now i find out they are back ordered until the end of December at the soonest. They are only getting 5 in and have no idea where i am on the list. I guess i should have ordered the scx6 instead.
You’ll love that vanquish when it arrives!
A local RC hobby shop has the silver jeep for $400 of the base price of $1,049.00
Wreckless is awsome.

Adam I would like you to make a review of the new austarhobby ax8650
This little Rubicon has no rival for its price. You'll really like it
This is great. I only do 1/24 but have been curious. I wonder what other platform I would do... (the best amount of RC trucks is x+1)

Good vid. Curious question, do you think one can run dual 3S 10000mah batteries in the honcho with no issues? Assuming still using stock servo esc etc.
I have heard of folks running those packs on it with no issues. Haven't personally tried it though
Wish me luck. I need to see how I fit the batteries on. I’ve learned from other RUclips videos I can run both batteries as long as I have them in parallel series. Mines Scx6 sand color should be arriving tomorrow.
You should film an ad for axial
Best new rc yt

Right?! It’s massive!
Is It Stock? Its just plain impressive
(Scx24 Honcho)
Yep, totally stock
Nice
Well deserved birthday 🎂 🥳 present 🎁 👏
Well sure appreciate the video, honchos looking sweet. Well I’ll catch on the next one until then peace and chicken grease 😁👍👍😎
I absolut ❤ mine
Man this thing sweet.
So what sort of runtime do you get with these?
I got ~40 minutes on my 3S 5000mah 100c battery
Suprised you didn’t get the jeep!😂😂😂
For some reason the Jeep in this model just didn’t move me like the honcho did
@@CapeCrawlers suprised YOUR saying that😂😂😂
So this one or traxxas trx?
Great machine❤️🔥
I have the chance to buy a honcho for $200 from a buddy and I’m pretty sure I’m gonna pull the plug after watching this 😂
DO IT
Okay, i need to save some money😂
No need to try it just watch it ? It can pull a full size car/jeep I use mine to pull heavy rocks for rock race course.
Lol got one at that price months ago!
No hate but big fun just comes with massive price tags its the only reason that i dont think ill be buying a scx6
Yeah, $1,099.99? Too much money for me. Lol If it was on sale for half the price, maybe I'd go in. Lol
It was only sale for $850, which is great considering a $250 servo is pretty much mandatory for this thing, the stock one is durable but awful at turning the wheels
@@VS666 dang, interesting though, will say that.
Nice 🎂🥂
Change ur servo .
@capecrawlers Should I get this one or the new 1/10 jeep ? Scx 10 iii. Pre order one.
That new CJ is gorgeous. Tough call! The honcho is monstrous and much more expensive. So it guess it depends on what you like more: scale Jeep look, or full beast mode monster!
@@CapeCrawlers I got the honcho but it looks like the steering doesn’t even steer left very well. Def underpowered.
Is that the same for you ?
