12428 Conversion/SCX10 Clone Honcho Parts List


One quick note guys, and it pains me to say this, the WLToys 12428 has gotten REALLY expensive lately.  If you want my advice, this is NOT the time to buy one.  It is simply not worth $150 US (used to be available for $100 US easily).  If you want to build a crawler, do an SCX10 clone instead.  If you want a budget RC car, my choice would be the SG1602.  I don't have one but it's brushless, fast, durable, cheap and looks pretty nice, so what more could you want?  The only downside is that there really isn't anything to wrench on it.  The other cheap car that is really slick is the WLToys 144001, but the battery life of a brushless is the decider for me.  Do what you want, that's my 2 cents worth.

Parts list for 12428 and SCX10 versions of the 3D Printed Budget Honcho Crawler conversion

There's also a build video.

One thing to note, guys, the SCX10 skid plate and chassis rails that I ordered came with screws.  I did a poor job keeping track so I can't swear that you'd have all the screws you need, but I know you'd be close.  Those two items only set me back $20 US the cost of a box of screws from BangGood is about $12.  If you have a decent supply of random screws and aren't afraid of glue, you could easily gamble and just order the SCX10 skid plate and chassis rails and be pretty much set.  It's up to you.  I hate scrounging for screws only to find you have to spend $5 on the 2 that you REALLY need, so I ordered a box and have no regrets.

I'm including EBay links where the prices are reasonable and I get a small percentage if you guys buy using my links.  I get no cut from BangGood and probably none from Amazon so if you see those sites linked it must be a good deal.  I buy stuff all over the place wherever I can find a good price.  Prices are better in the winter.  Buy at your own risk, I am not directly associated with any seller.

$20 DIY GPS Speed Logger

Hi guys, This is a quick how to on my $20 GPS speed logger.  If it all goes smoothly you don't need much in the way of soldering and coding skills but if you run into problems it could be an adventure if you lack the knowledge base.  You have been warned. You can make this as pretty as you want, but mine is held together with hot glue and I used cork to make the case, so you can get away with some pretty dirty work-arounds if you're so inclined. There's a video here . Update (Nov15): I accidentally plugged in the wires with the wrong polarity and it didn't look good for a day or two.  The unit still powered up with the Adafruit logo, but that was it.  If you want to avoid this potential oopsy: use a proper power plug of some sort (proper meaning with polarity) Add a diode to the input to protect against wrong polarity I finally got around to hooking it up to my computer for diagnosis and SURPRISE, it works perfectly running off USB power.  So, doing the worst th...

WLToys 12428 Crawler Conversion Assembly (SCX10 Clone Assembly)

  This is an assembly guide for my WLToys 12428 crawler conversion project (SCX10 clone).  If you have questions about a standard SCX10, you can download the Axial manual from their website. One important note, friends.  Most people who build a crawler want to make it their own.  That's the thinking behind this project, so you're probably going to want to do a bit of tweaking to get this thing just the way you want it.  My thought was that this would be a cheap way to make a crawler for a person with a WLToys 12428 or a bunch of parts kicking around.  If you are starting from scratch, you may want to order a cheap Injora crawler chassis or buy something like a Redcat Gen 8 (the Redcat is a bargain where I live but lots of other crawlers are decent).  Personally, I think a lot of crawlers are kinda pricey for what you're getting, but without any drive train parts you can't really build a reliable RC car of any kind (IMO).  3D printed gears are a bi...

WLToys 12428 Solid Front Axle Build Guide

Hey guys, This is a guide for putting together the WLToys 12428 solid front axle for the WLToys 12428 crawler conversion project.  The main difference between this axle and an Axial SCX10 clone axle is that the shock mount points are on top of the axle not on a shared screw with the four link mount.  This lowers the axle about 15mm and moves the shock mount forward about the same. A few cautions: If you don't know what you're doing and feeling nervous, get help from someone more experienced in the ways of DIY. Take apart your RC vehicle at your own risk. Follow these instructions at your own risk. Use common sense and review instructions before you follow them. Knives can cut you.  Use caution. Hot glue can burn you.  Use caution. Brad nails can stab you.  Use caution. Rubber bands can shoot you in the eye.  Use caution.  Please tell me if this happens to you, I can always use a laugh.  It's funny if you aren't the victim. ...
