Basically if the honcho were discontinued I could still get parts just as easily for it?
...an SCX-10 chassis is an SCX-10 chassis.
...regardless of which body is purchased or set atop it.
The chassis and hardware purdy much remain the same.
Doubt Axial would discontinue the SCX-10 chassis
as that really is their bread n butter.
Well... at least until they engineer something better in replacement.
If the Honcho becomes discontinued...
it's likely that Axial stops producing that particular body.
They are after all... more into Jeep licensed products :roll:
There have been other Axial SCX-10 bodies
that have been discontinued in the past...
The 2 door Wrangler Jeep being one of them.
But the venerable SCX-10 chassis platform
has changed only slightly over the years.
And that was based on hardware design changes...
not the primary chassis design.
----------------
of course... nothing is forever.
But investing into an SCX-10 chassis
should ensure a continued life support...
at least longer then most any other mfgr's/supplier's out there.
And then...
even if it were discontinued...
There will be millions of other used rigs still out there...
and so...
There will tons of used parts available
for years to come.
Because of it's popularity...
I doubt the SCX-10 chassis disappears completely.
And even if Axial dropped the line...
usually one of the smaller mfgr's
will purchase the assembly rights...
and reproduce it under a different brand name.
IMO... choosing the SCX-10 platform/chassis
is probably a good call.
