Trail Honcho Backyard Hero

18 May, 2020

Sumner tells us he got his first Axial SCX 10 II Trail Honcho in 2018 and loved every single minute with it. It inspired him to build a crawling course in his backyard among the natural rocks, including suspension bridge over a little pond, ramps and a hill climb. That’s where he exercises this new Trail Honcho. To give him extra grip on his backyard course he installed a set of Pro-Line Hyrax 1.9s on silver Method NV replica wheels planted by a set of Pro-Line Pro Spec shocks. There’s also a Pro-Line 4-inch light bar and he added a bunch of scale accessories. There’s a Wertymade front bumper, a Reef’s RC 444 servo and a Warn winch with an RC4WD recovery hook and a ProTek 2-cell Lipo 2300mah battery running it. Sumner made a set of front and rear license plates and installed Vanquish links front and back. Bair accessories a plenty on roof rack: charcoal, tent, Coca Cola, firewood, jumper cables. Pro-Line supplied the water can, recovery rope, and gas can. Knight Customs served up windshield wipers, snorkel, and roof rack. Scale by Chris did the side mirrors, tuff tub, and cooler.
