hey girl, lazer design has clipless mounts, for both, I love it!!!, no clips!!!!!it,s snap-on body makes it so sweet!!! and the spair tire, has to go, replace with yeti cooler, a bike and accessories, camping stuff, lol, I do have both and love them, thanks for your hard work, smash that like people!!!!! oooo lipo,s do not need to discharge, i just found that out, they are fine holding a charge!!, 9 years and i never disscharged a lipo, just something i was reading on lipo,
Ya, I have heard of the clipless mounts, just slipped my mind and have not tracked them down yet 😂 Thanks so much for your suggestions and support, very appreciated! 😊 I'm not sure on the lipos, I guess I was just always told they needed to be and never really questioned it 🤣 thanks again!
Thank you but it still falls on me somehow 😂 I don't take it off for minor maintenance, but replacing other parts I find it easier just to take it off completely 😊
These are both great. Last fall I foolishly traded my original Jeep for what was at the time, the new Traxxaa Raptor R. I immediately regretted it but given how expensive these are brand new, I only recently was able to buy another one. I did have a difficult time deciding between the Jeep and the Honcho, as I did the first go around as well but the fact that the Jeep has a liscenced body is what put it over the top for me. I know the Honcho is technically the upgraded version but like so many rc vechiles, it does not look like any sort of mainstream real life vechile. Maybe some sort of real life crawler but nothing you see on the road. Most rc vechiles look absolutely nothing like real life vechiles which is unfortunate. Many are just flat out goofy looking so the fact that the Jeep is an exact replica of the real thing makes it very unique. Not only a replic but a high performing replica at that. Most of the few fully scale rc vechiles on the market perform poorly so that makes it even more appealing. Yes, having bright lights out of the box is nice but it is so easy to add brighter lights to your truck if you need to. Even taping a flashlight to it does the trick if you cant afford an upgraded light kit and dont mind it slightly affecting the scale aspect. I may also get the Honcho at some point but for now am satisfied with my choice. I do wonder how the Honcho compares when that tire is taken off. I assume that makes it lighter and maybe faster than the jeep? ALSO, i am able to flip the body up on the jeep as well. I then just jame a knife in between the replica motor and the side to keep it propped open and that works like a charm.
I honestly think that’s what does it for me, the licensed body 😍 I do prefer rigs that look like something you would actually see out on the road and I agree most just do not. Great idea about the flashlight! Never thought about that for a quick and temporary fix 😊 lots of great info jam packed into your comment! Thank you 😊
It really depends on what you're drawn to more, scale or capability. In my opinion, I don't think you can go wrong with either. The jeep is more top heavy but it still is a plenty capable crawler. The honcho is not as scale looking as the jeep in my opinion but is also way capable. I don't think you can go wrong with either and both would make a great addition to your fleet. 😊
Im a jeep guy. But the honcho is just a step up all the way around. Id love to run the jeep but it rolls over and geta stuck more often. I find myself taking out the honchos more. 10th scale and 6th scale
Also set your low and high gear to a three-position switch instead of a two position the center position will put the truck in neutral completely and make it very easy to tow done it since the day the Jeep came out
Charlie's Daddy(me!) Has been eyeing one of these up for a while now but.......as Charlie's gotten more interested in the crawling scene...we may have a replacement for the X-MAXX! Especially after I showed him a video of the Honcho today! Watch this space....
Hi, I am new to RC and have a question about Batteries as you mentioned them several times. I started with the recommended Lipos but because I live in a Flat in a block, I cannot take the slightest chance of a lipo fire, so they have gone. I have got hold of some 3000mh 8.4 NiMH batteries and have yet to see how they last. I have re-programmed the ESC to 'economic' levels, and I am wondering about using 8 cell batteries there is also a question of running them one at a time or in parallel. Thanks for any suggestions.
First off welcome! 🤗 I will be upfront with you that I am not as knowledgeable in NiMH as I am lipos. The only advice I have for you is a firesafe box or bag to store and charge lipos in, but I understand if thats not even comforting for you.
@@RCprincess24 remember spectrum batts and their so-called battery discharge never stops at storage like it should it a system they makes batteries fail over time it always discharges the battery never stops You have to literally babysit those batteries and make sure they never go under voltage If they're sitting for any amount of time they're killing themselves automatically with out u doing anything You ever take a break from RC and come back all your batteries will be dead and worthless If you don't babysit them another thing is you can't ever put a spectrum battery into a proper storage charge they don't want them to last like other batteries will in storage voltage
honco is in fact bigger and badder than the jlu just saying... dat light kit doe!! I grabbed a tan honco yesterday so i can get some of the 6th scale army dudes put a tehnical back end with the willys 50cal and send my spec for off down the trail for debachery to ensue. But in all seriousness, is there anything on the honcho that you noticed needed to be looked at before running it? like shims in the diffs or anything that needs to be specifically tightened down that easily goes overlooked or missed?
Thats awesome! You'll love it and I mean its always a good idea to check over everything before first run, but I didn't notice anything that stood out 🤷♀️ 😊
@@RCprincess24 yeah just the super weak grease they used. I simple greened all that and replaced with some VP grease. I also had to tight my slipper down a little bit. Other than that everything seems ok :)
Awesome video, great to see a real review for a change 👍
Awww thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed!
They are both awesome but I LOVE the HONCHO!!!!
Agreed! 💯😍

Just press the spare tire in a little as you rotate the body up and the hinge will allow you to open up all the way
Thank you but it still falls on me somehow 😂 I don't take it off for minor maintenance, but replacing other parts I find it easier just to take it off completely 😊
Can't believe more people haven't done this exact video. I'm in the market and this comparison was fantastic. Nicely done.
Glad you liked it! Thank you so much! 🥰
I bought the jeep but after watching several videos, I wish that I bought the Honcho. Now like you, I will need to also get the Honcho!
Can you ever really have too many RCs anyway? 😂 thanks for watching! 🥰
The margherita part is what got me😂😂 that was funny as fuck
😂😂 Glad I could make you laugh!
I like both of them - only thing with the Honcho is the side view - that I found not as good. The Jeep looks good from all angles!
I totally agree! 😍

Awesome
Videos girly!!! Keep up the good work. Love seein women into the hobby as well.
Thank you so much! Means a lot! 💜🥰
just imagine remote diff lockers on this rc ;))
Yes! 🙌
Great video. Scx6 is on the rise especially after the honcho. Never heard of snapping the tire rod end.
Thank you! 🥰 and yes it was the weirdest thing. Originally I just thought a screw came out and then checked it out and it was snapped 🤔 😆
Great review!!! You have helped me go Honcho 👍
Thank you! 🥰 Do it! 😂
Yeah the fifth tire makes me nuts too!!
😂 Glad it's not just me!
Great video! Thanks for going through all the details. I totally agree about the spare tire....not matching would drive me nuts!
Glad I'm not the only one! 😂 Thanks for watching! 🥰
Thanks for the heart. You could put your extra Nimh batteries in the box at the back!

I replied to your first comment, but i'm afraid I am not going to be of help to you when it comes to NiMH batteries 😞 Great idea for the box tho!
Hi again! This is Charlie's Daddy's own channel! Keep up the great videos! Such a shame we can't all go out crawling! Think we'd all get along!
O that would be so fun! Maybe one day! 😊
@@RCprincess24 that would be a dream to move over there!
I love your enthusiasm! Great content!!
Thanks so much!! ❤️❤️
Good video!! Just got a Honcho look into fine laser design, it’s a clip system in the front. Super easy.
Thank you very much! And that’s awesome. I’ll have to look into that thanks!
I have been watching alot on these. And idk if I want honcho or the jeep?
It really depends on what you're drawn to more, scale or capability. In my opinion, I don't think you can go wrong with either. The jeep is more top heavy but it still is a plenty capable crawler. The honcho is not as scale looking as the jeep in my opinion but is also way capable. I don't think you can go wrong with either and both would make a great addition to your fleet. 😊
The spare tire thing definitely bugs the heck out of me because I have to buy 6 tires and 6 wheels because I never run stock wheels.
Yes, it is a little bit of an inconvenience
cool vid!! thanks for sharing! big like!! 👍👍👍
Thank you so much! 🥰
Im a jeep guy. But the honcho is just a step up all the way around. Id love to run the jeep but it rolls over and geta stuck more often. I find myself taking out the honchos more. 10th scale and 6th scale
I agree 💯, I am a jeep girl, but the honcho wins almost every time. The honcho is definitely growing on me 🥰
This is a fantastic review! Btw - I argued at the shop seeing it live that's it's orange not red 😅
Thank you so much! 🥰 😂 thanks for watching!
I bring a dog leash in case I need to tow it a distance. Just tie to the front bumper
I have heard of people doing that! Very creative lol
Also set your low and high gear to a three-position switch instead of a two position the center position will put the truck in neutral completely and make it very easy to tow done it since the day the Jeep came out

He does seem like he has gotten more into crawling lately! Thanks for watching! 🥰
Let’s get some Steady Foam in your rigs !!!
For sure! 😍
If you buy five sets of tires you’ll have an extra set for the Jeep body.
Great idea! 🥳

Great vídeo i have a Red honcho Can you put the link to smart bateries do you talking.thanks
Thanks for watching! I have put a link to the smart batteries I use in the description box for you 🥰

Nothing new, can make a mod for jeep to add a hinge. Or use super magnet to put on the frame.
Honcho tires are a bit taller!
😊😊
Awesome rigs. But man are they huge.
Yes! 🙌 they are hard to transport and store but they are soooo fun! And so worth it 😂
@@RCprincess24 as of right now I have eight 1/10 crawler/trail trucks.
I'm already out of room. Lol
You have to adapt lol we have rigs upstairs, downstairs, in the guest room 😂 Its definitely an addiction, but some would say healthy addiction 😂
@@RCprincess24 don't I know it. I have what we call the truck tree, it has nine trucks on it. More in the living room, in the bed room.

I'll be honest I'm usually too impatient to check everything all over 😂 I kinda just tweak everything as I run it and notice things 😆
@@RCprincess24 haha im a kit builder so most of my rigs came in kit form lol
@@RCprincess24 i literally dont trust rtrs... Especially after buying an rc4wd rtr lol must as well just bought a kit lol
Bigger AND badder
🤩🤩🤩
