Great comparison. I picked up the wrangler today unaware of the differences. It was between this and the Tr4.

Fantastic review! Saved me a lot of time researching the differences between them all. My first Axial, so I wanted to be informed! Thank you!!

Thank you so much for the side by side comparison of the three trucks. Very helpful.

Those front pre runner bumpers are the best Axial ever made! I use them on ever of my TRX4 trucks ha ha. I use steal bumpers also but they bent and stay bent ,plastic recoil .i cant break any of this bumpers till 10 years. For the money the SCX 10 ll (first series,because i dont like one piece axels for sure) is one of the best most durabel trucks you can buy.With Axial you never go wrong.

a very informative and thorough review, the best one I have seen in a long time great job.

Hell yeah, you killed it with that theme song at the end of the video... Bravo, real cool

I run my RCs "ALL THE TIME" in - 30 and colder in the winter( it does get in the 30+ in summer)!!! LMAO when you said you were shivering in +12!!! LOL I live in Edmonton Alberta Canada. Great video!

Great review of all 3 truck ,like the comparison of all 3 🖒

Year 2022, just ordered mine can't wait.

Thanks you! Nice video. Learning about these. Think the Cherokee is for me

I brushed off my mint condition axial scx10 honcho from 2013 shelf queen and had a ride😊 I forgot how cool this crawler is.. I paid £267-$325 in 2013 and they are still the same price now 🤔 just goes to show you always pay for quality 😏👌 thanks for the video😊😊 Pete UK

Just bought one, its a blast, even in snow, can do pretty steep inclines also

Just picked mine up today thanks to you ! I went through a lot of videos of different ones ! And I picked this one out from the many I went to look at . Good starter crawler

Hi! Nice video. Can the I mount a hobbywing 4268 motor on axial scx10 2?? Does it have enough room to accommodate a 1/8 scale motor? Thanks!

Fantastic review! I really love that Honcho! 😉👍

So the new axle is more stiff? Like less flex in the c hub and steering part of the axle. I have some beat up older style and im considering running the updated version before getting some rock jocks. Also, what size screws hold the bearing in on the back axle?

I’m saving up for a honcho now will be my first 1/10 axial

I Loved this video, excellent review, what do you recommend I buy as my next rig?, the scx 10 honcho or the element sendero hd?

I have owned my trail honcho for about a year and still have the stock links on the only ones I have problems with is the steering links

Awesome review 👏 👍

Great review! I have the Rubicon 👍. Is there any chance someday-you could go oover on how to videotape your rig. How do you get your camera down that low LOL

it's weird to me that you said that the honcho has some plastic gears in the transmission because i took apart my transmission and it had all metal gears.

Good to know. They might have changed that recently.

Do they make aluminium axle houses for the honcho? I have had mine 2 days and broke the front. Axial is sending me a new one but they r on back order till the end of November. Kinda bummed

What was that red scx10 Rubicon behind you I want to buy it but I can't ever find it

Can the single molded ar44's be upgraded with universal axles??

hey so, i know the review is 4 years ago but, can you also fit different bodys on this, so like the jeep cherokee body?

Do you have a review or unboxing of the Everest 10?

I have the axial scx10 and it’s great.

I got mine out of the box and drove it about 10 ft on a shop floor, bumped into a wall, and the bumper snapped off. Very poorly designed bumper brackets. I spent the afternoon making a stubby stinger bumper out of steel for it, turned out very nicely.

Hi sir, nice video... So i've 1st axial honcho (old version), may I asking you : 1. Is esc original = waterproof? 2. Is esc original = resetting using hobbywing program card? (Problems with drag brake) 3. Is it save to play with 3s lipo battery, for original esc & motor. Thx a lot sir...

I just purchased one of these. What’s your recommendation for a battery and charger?

Very nice honcho big thumbs up XD like up and subbed XD

crc wrangler is mint! i love mine

It's 2019 every RTR should come with metal gears and links. So many better out of the box rigs, Traxxas,Vaterra,Redcat. There is no place for the Honcho or Deadbolt on the market anymore. Can't argue price point anymore with the TRX4 Sport and Gen8. Wonder how Axial will handle this?

@BEHEMOTH_MANSLAUGHTER

4 жыл бұрын

true but.. I replace my trans gears my gear horn and drive shaft to all metal and upgraded the wheels to B-locks and it wipes the floor with any redcat and most traxxas crawlers. I dont understand why ppl want shit to have all metal and upgraded rcs out of the box. Because if that was the case they would be even more expensive and not only that its more fun to break stuff then upgrade it. It's an awesome feeling knowing your rc is just a little bit stronger and will preforme better. However the only thing I stripped was the gear horn. And then one of the trans but that was my fualt. Other then that this rc was worth it 100%

Hi i just got my axial scx 10 2 and the steering link kept stripping. And i was wondering if that was a problem with yours, or if it was just my crappy maintenance. please comment back.

whats the dif between this and the blue blazer body one

Does the body fit on an element RC sendero?ty

Do you know where I can buy the remote for the car separately

Ciao amico, ti scrivo dall’Italia. Volevo chiederti secondo te conviene acquistare l’honcho oppure il wrangler? Grazie

I have to tell you, it probably wasn’t the temperature that caused you to lose the bumper. Mine broke in the same place at 75 on a sunny day.

Can u turn the leds on and off

The plastic linkages aren't the best I had to zip tie metal to stop them from bending

Jeffrey Pak Axial makes a better product imo. It has better weight balance out of the box. The TRX-4 has a weird battery placement and it's very top heavy.

I know this review is 3 years old, but I am very new to the hobby and trying to decide between this Hancho or the Traxxas TRX-4 Sport. They are very close in price. Any advice or opinions from someone with experience would be much appreciated !

Any way to upgrade the steering issues?

Is it actualy $70?

if you know anything about budgeting you would get a freakin deadbolt. and buy the honcho body later on down the road. for a 100 dollars less you wont tell the difference between the deadbolt and honcho.. if you have the money get the honcho. But if moneys tight folks get the deadbolt.

You weren't the only one according to the comments... many other Honchos had bumper issues as well. So I believe the truck is trying to tell you all something and I know what that something is!! Well it's simple, Mr. Honcho obviously does NOT like it's own bumper and quite frankly, I don't blame the poor truck. The front bumper is one of the nastiest eye-sores I've seen on an Axial but the length of it is actually a waaay bigger problem than just how fugly it looks. The first thing that should be done to this rig out of the box would be a front bumper circumcision! Besides being a mount for the fog lights, the ONLY other thing this bumper does is take away ANY and ALL of the vehicles approach angle. Approach angle doesn't even exist on the Honcho and considering these RCs are supposed to be designed to climb steep things, how does that make sense? How can it climb when the front tires don't and can't get anywhere near an obstacle or line that has a steep vertical entry? Same problem when attempting to exit a steep decent... it's going to get hung up and well, where's the logic there? Once the damn bumper has been removed (one way or another. ha), which IMHO is a HUGE upgrade, and people will notice how incredible it's technical crawling capabilities have increased. I feel like I should be somewhat apologetic now, as this was on the borderline of becoming a small rant. hehe. oh well.. and hey, plz don't mistake my passion as negativity. Ok? ** To whom it may concern; Please DISREGARD this comment if you're the type who ONLY drives or plans to ONLY drive basic trails with this thing and NEVER want it's tires to touch the traditional rock crawling course type of terrain. Thank you. p.s. I know I'm an ass cuz of it... waiting for so long, but after years of enjoying your content I just now finally subscribed! woohoo.

5 жыл бұрын

What does $2:50 mean?

The solid axles suck. Friends honcho broke the chub and can't replace just the chin. And can't get just the housing. So now he has to buy a complete aftermarket axle

Does Axial even listen to it's fans? For years people asked for a Honcho release updated with all the parts from their kit version. This should have been their flagship product like the new wrangler release. In fact I believe it should have included all the hopups and the 2 speed transmission the kit version has. Cheap crawlers are a dime a dozen, this is expensive compared to a Redcat, they should have went the other direction. Now to get the rig I want, I have to buy either the wrangler and get rid of the body and buy the 2 speed tranny with the 2 speed kit or I have to get a kit version and buy all the body separately and I'd buy the old body because the color is better and I want the spare tire.... so oh yeah a tire and wheel also, don't forget rock sliders and mounts ...wth? Sorry, everyone sounds like they're being paid as advertisements in these reviews. Did you spend your own money on it? I'd rather buy a deadbolt and upgrade that.
