RolandRockshop last minute G6 honcho build

[ROLANDROCKSHOP]

If there is a 1:1 ride that weekend we will probably be there! It's about a 9 hour trip just to drive rc's! Lol my dad only has diesels so it's pricey to drive there!

9hrs...
im only seeing 6hrs on google maps..;-)

There's always something going on at Superlift..:mrgreen:


Kawasaki showed up a few weeks ago with 6 tractor trailer rigs for a test drive promotion..

I can only imagine what its gonna look like when the Ultra4's get here..:shock::twisted:
expecting over 5000 people...:shock: for the Ultra4's

That's double almost triple what was there for the Southern buggy races..

 

[ROLANDROCKSHOP]

Well I couldn't stand the Maxxis Trepador's not having the deep cut lugz...

soooooo...

out came the Dremel with a cutting wheel..

8000rpm later..

gonna do both sides of the tires front and rear.

and 2 trail rides at Superlift.

I did nothing to it..installed and set bec v to 6.2v

ive just about blown the paint off the top of the cab its rolled/tumbled so much..broke the front bumper guard support.

ive not been easy on it that's for shure.

RC OMG is sent out the new all metal servo said to be 500oz. Can't wait for them to get here.

 

[Arctic Fire]

OMG is right. Great name for a servo if it truly is 500oz. Any updates? is there a new thread you can steer me too about the new servo?

[Szczerba]

Fancy round parts you have there.

 

[ROLANDROCKSHOP]

Yea..i figured I might as well update my wheel inventory...;-)

:lmao:

noticed the front locker had a lil too much slop for my liking...so I tore it down and installed a new locker..Axial iron cross locker..

It had an old alum green locker in it..:shock:
and it lasted thru 2 G6's and few club trailrides..
id say it held up just fine..
and on 3s..:ror:

 

[Szczerba]

I've have good luck with the axial iron cross lockers. Ran them in my 1.55 SCX-EXO for a couple G6's as well.

 

[ROLANDROCKSHOP]

Took the G6 honcher to 1 of our Beautiful Crawl spots here in Arkysaw..

Finally broke Monkeyracers rulr's...after a few moths of abuse,it finally snapped.

So the G6 Honcho's motor was toast after the Petit jean outing..

So it was time to for some comm lathe time...

A few passes and the horrible pitting starts to go away...


Installed some CBErcfab upperlink risers as well.

Fresh motor and new parts...she's ready to hit the trails again! :mrgreen:
