Unimog U1300L DOKA Rally Edition

[Ty@Tekin]

I did a thing. Stumbled upon a seller that sells hand built scale bodies and I could not resist the urge. I give you my newest build, a U1300L DOKA Unimog! Going to go rally style on this Mog, it fits perfectly with the M1079 build.



My plans are the following:

Electronics

Tekin RX4
Tekin ROC412 3100kV
Tekin T-360 Servo
ProTek 3S LiPos
Spektrum DX5C
Spektrum SR415
ProLine LED bars

Chassis

Axial SCX10-II
Axial Transmission

Suspension

Pro-Line ProSpec 90mm Scaler Shocks
Axial SCX10-II Links
324mm wheel base is the goal

Axles

Vanquish F9 Portals front and rear

Wheels and Tires

Alientac 1.9 Military Wheels
Pro-Line BFG KM3 Mud Terrains

This body is super high quality. I was skeptical at first, but now that I have it in my hands I am thoroughly impressed, as I should be for the monies. It came mostly assembled, all that needs done to finish assembly is attaching the bed with 4 screws to the cab and gluing in of the side windows and windshield. Deciding on paint right now, the base will for sure be black.

Love the look of these wheels, wish there were more out there! I think they will fit the Mog perfectly.



Pro-Spec shocks to hold it all up!



It even came with a soft top for the bed! Not sure if I'll run it, but it's an awesome accessory to have.



Planning on getting this one together this fall. Going to look into some 3D printed mounts so the cab and bed can both tilt for access to everything underneath. More to come as I can get more parts rounded up!

After your last build, I can't wait to see how this one turns out.

Ack! New Ty@Tekin build thread alert!

I have created another sub-folder to store pics of this build within my Tekin custom builds folder...

I love 'Mogs......

Can't wait to see this progress!

I’ve been eyeballing these bodies occasionally too. I have the Loops 406 hard body, but it’s closer to a Tamiya body in size. It is close to scale though, but I’d need some really really small portals underneath.

Looking forward to what happens with this build anyways!

I love these and am definitely going to be watching closely .

Getting paint supplies in order and picked a tire. Went with Pro-Line BFGoodrich KM3 MTs, they look awesome!



Currently waiting on axles, links and shock hoops so I'm going to get started on figuring out the body and bed mounting. Once that's taken care of I plan to start on an interior and get going on the painting.

Just about done painting the exterior, just have to finish up the wipers and door handles. Went with a dark metallic and satin black combo.

Damnit I’m going to sell my trx4 bronco body and do one of this sellers mogs.matches the portals anyway and because unimaginable!

This is looking great!

Nicely done! The body builder really did do a fantastic job.

Making progress on the Mog! Assembled a set of Vanquish portal axles yesterday and mocked them up on the truck. Still need to adjust the wheelbase a bit to fit the body, a couple spacers should do the trick.

Front axle assembly. Lots of parts = lots of fun!



Finished front axle. She's a beaut!







Incision drive shafts to transfer the ROC412 power to the portals.



Rear axle mocked up with wheels and tires.



Front axle. The wheels clear with plenty of room, which was my main concern ordering blindly a set of wheels that do not allow for changing the hub. Should be good to go!

Working on body mounting, finishing up the body exterior details and wiring this week. Interior will be 3D printed and hopefully started soon!

Obligatory bench flex shot. No build is complete without it!

Love Unimogs. Your build is awesome!

Iv recently seen an advert on bookface for the new mog on a lease it’s only £360 per month I have absolutely no real use for 1 but it’s very tempting lol imagine the food shopping you could get in there

Whipped up a quick bumper mount yesterday. I don't like having the bumper attached to the body. Going to paint it black this weekend. Also did some mild trimming to the light cutouts in the bumper and installed Axial buckets.

This is an awesome build! Great parts/electronics set. Look forward to seeing it in action.

Last week I decided I wasn't really happy with the way the paint on the Mog turned out. It was much darker than I was anticipating and didn't quite do it for me. I sanded it down and took it back into the paint booth for 5 coats of Duplicolor Graphite. I LOVE the way it turned out!

[willyg1981]

Looks awesome man love it

Hell yeah Ty, the graphite looks great on it, much better for sure.

Finally getting around to working on the Unimog (and many other builds) as some spring fever is setting in pretty hard. Today we whipped up a hinge for the cab for easy access to all the electronics and battery tray. I'm pretty happy with the mock-up, so it will come back off for finishing and painting!

Also added some printed mesh to the grill and AC box up top.
