yesterday the new Comanche body for my Axial SCX10 arrived. I spent most of the Day on it and i think it turned out awesome.  I still need to go back and touch up a few spots (paint black trim around the windows, and the rear bumper)

A RTR Axial SCX10 Honcho and a Comanche body are all you'd need to get started. The price can vary but I think the honcho starts at $300. But really you are shooting for a 12.3" wheelbase. Later on you can upgrade the control arms to metal links, and a few other upgrades.

 

I bought a rolling cassis. I lucked out because it said no electronics where included but it came with everything but a battery, remote, body, and wheels. I have about $400 into mine.

 

Automan also has one. I think he picked his up on Craigslist for relatively cheap. I also saw a couple in the classifieds. Idk if they are still for sale or not.

The ProLine MJ body is nice. I ran one for years and beat it into the ground and rolled it down mountains (literally). Get the floor pan as well to keep trail grime out of the interior and off the motor/transmission, especially if you like water/mud. The Honcho is a fantastic truck.

 

 

 

 

 

It looked like hell so I just recently replaced the body with a second-hand Deadbolt body. I really like the narrowed front and rear body over the full width MJ body. I also replaced the old Axial AE2 ESC with a new AX5 LiPo compatible ESC and it caught fire. That was fun.

Where did you get the bumper, winch light combo from? That would look good on the front of mine. 

Its the Stock Honcho Bumper and a 1:10 scale Warn Winch.  I modified the bumper to clear the larger 2.2 tires i had orignally, but just went back to 1.9s.  the winch is zip tied to the bumper and i cut a slot out on the front skid.

rccrawler.com has an great forum

 

I like RPP Hobby, Tower Hobbies, Fast Eddy Bearings and Amazon for parts. If you have a good local hobby shop go in there and start asking questions as well. Generally the hobby shop and online distributors are priced similarly in my experience.

Are the krawlers in your pic the 2.2's? You wanna sell them? I have 2.2's now with losi rock claws, I'd like to change tires.

Those where 2.2, but my cousin took them a couple weeks ago. And I got the tires seen on the Comanche and the last JK pic. Now I have some 1.9 4wdrc Rock Crushers the look nice and seem to be plenty sticky. Haven't taken it out on the rocks yet.

Mounted up the new 4wdrc tires on some cheap Axial beadlocks.  They where a bit stiff with the foam and being in non-vented wheels didend help much. but after the foam was removed it seems to do very well.  these tires are noticeably shorter than the other sets i had.  making the rocks a bit more challenging.
