c10 dingo

[08yfz45031]

So went to the rc shop and ended up coming home with a dingo, as it snowed outside I built it and realize I am going to blow alot of cash on building it up and making it more realistic!!




bought a body for it and four linked the front!





a little flex




looking for a new steering servo and some leaf springs, will trade dingo body


UPDATE(going to keep it all in original post so you guy dont need to go through)
got it out today for a little drive and had a blast found some rocks over behind a neighbors and went at it. also took all the coils off, not sure how I feel because I got hung up alot.




Update got out to creep around and had some fun, learned a little and also realized some time you need to add to an obstacle to make it possible. also relocated my steering servo and lovin the look!!






going to test to see how i like this steering set up!


Update! since I relocated my servo I notice it wouldnt steer to the one side because it pushed the frame, so I knew what had to be done...Trac bar. so I made one!





Update The kid i sold my creeper to along time ago gave it back to me today for nothing!(he went threw a house fire) So i pulled it apart to realize nothings wrong with it and slapped the traxxes xl5 in my dingo along with a airtronics 94102 steering servo. swapped the 2.2 tires on also, the creeper is going to slowing become a scaler :P need something to pull my c10 around

[08yfz45031]

It diffidently helped, I like it much better

thanks going to change mine over to 4 link

Yea I only four linked the front tho, I think if the rear is linked also it might be unrealistic

why?

[08yfz45031]

cause usually (around here atleast when its 4 linked front an rear) its buggy or mtn only. i want something to have a more on road, yet still muddable look.... i know dumb its a rc but o well

[08yfz45031]

Have some mud slingers on the way!! hopin they pull the chevy look off

what wheelbase does this body fit??? a friend of mine has this body and he's trying it out this weekend on the 12th but if he doesnt like maybe i can get it for cheap. i have a honcho with stock wheelbase right now.

[08yfz45031]

added a trac bar lmk what you guys think or how I did for my first attempt at anything homemade
