Black Mamba, Dinky RC Series 5 KOH Jeep
 

When I saw Matt's (Dinky RC) work, I had to have one... So I've been working on this a little, waiting on parts, and finally have enough I think I can start a build thread.

Couple of shots thanks to my bud Skidplate while we were at the famous Red Rocks.

This will have 13-13.5" wheel base.

Some parts I'm using:

Dual 8711's (yes front and rear steering)"thumbsup"
Dual winches
Axial Trany with all metal gears
RC4WD Wheels
Mamba Max Pro
Brushless motor
3s max amps lipos
DX6i
RC4WD Punisher Shafts
Hand Brothers / custom panhard front and rear

Wheels and tires
 

I wanted a scale looking wheel that met these requirements:

1. huh, scale looking :lmao:
2. adjustable widths
3. true beadlocks
4. easy to add weight too

Here is what I am trying:

Nice
 

Sweet looking truck. I got to tell you that your going to love those tires. I have a set and they are awesome in the snow, and on the rocks.

Thanks, I had a hard time deciding on wheels and tires. I almost went the vanquish and pitbulls or the new prolines...

man that is one sweet looking rig... I cannt wait to see more "thumbsup"

This by far one of my favorites glad to see it finally comming to life..

How long is that chassis nose to tail? If the WB is 13+ it's got to be 15-16". Can't wait to see this thing finished gonna be sick for sure.

You'll love the overdrive wheels, I've got them on all of my rigs and due to the great design I've made a weight system for them and even made a few more different offsets for them"thumbsup"

Looks like your off to a fantastic start! "thumbsup"
Nice name, wheels should look great,
I'll be watching...

Been waiting for this to surface, can wait to see it finished.:twisted:

Sharp wheels

looks kille:twisted:r can you please take a quick pic with wheels n tires mounted:mrgreen:

Another quality product made out of the Hive. Looking forward to seeing this complete.

I'm stoked to see a build thread for this rig. Definitely subscribing to this one.

Great choice of wheels, BTW. Those will look great on that rig.

This is one I am looking forward to following, were did you get the hood hinges???? The attention to detail is awsome I love that carbon dash piece. I will be watching this one for shure!!!!!!!"thumbsup""thumbsup"

About time Dave, this rig looked beautiful at red rocks. Can't wait to see it going.

those wheels are pretty damn sweet

She's a roller!
 

Sitting on it's own now. "thumbsup"

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Really the credit goes to Dinky RC for building my dream Jeep.

I measured the chassis, from the front bumper to the end of the rear is 16 5/8"

I need to get some different hexes, so they will fit all the way into the wheel hub... But at least you can see it as a roller."thumbsup"

Great looking rig Dave. I'll be expecting to see this one on the rocks when the new series starts up!

looks like you would would like to have wider axles too.
