|  TNBiscuit's Hacked-Up 2.2 Dingo
So I've had it for a couple months now. I bought it as a roller and added the electronics from a slash 4x4 because i knew I'd hit the mud as soon as I got within range. I'm slowly getting it where i want it and see new mods on here everyday that i want to try. Now onto the stats and mods! -Bumpers trimmed after the first run -vxl with velineon brushless motor from a slash 4x4 -2.4g traxxas tx/rx -traxxas servo 2075 -steel gears for the tranny (plastic lasted about 3minutes with the velineon) -Integy metal driveshafts (ground and drilled so they actually stay together) -2.2" black axial beadlocks -2.2" Integy ERC5 tires for the mud -Body and fenders trimmed to fit 2.2's -Roof added for my tastes (loved the bikini top i had on my 1:1 Wrangler) -Rear of rollcage cut off when i got pissed trying to reach the rear body posts      The Donor  All suggestions and comments are welcome...except for that guy who doesnt like 2.2's on an scx10, buzz off!  |

Not so much my taste but it looks like she's a mud rockin' monster, eh? I never understood putting a VXL in a crawler but it's your toy, your way  I wouldnt mind having a straight up mud truck with the VXL though...more like the TTC trucks...

I thought my slash 4x4 motor would be way to fast but after so trials I think its the way to go for muddin. Right now I've got a 14t pinion and i think an 84t spur so even with the velineon its still not moving real fast. When I first got the truck i tried a 55t motor but the tires wouldnt clean themselves. I got a 27t motor and it would bog down in the thick clay that i run in. Even with the velineon in it I'm still bogging down in the thick stuff so i thick i may switch from the 8.4v nimh i use now to a 3s lipo when i get the money. I'm still hangin on to the 55t for the rocks but i dont really have many to play on around here.

Sounds dumb but I always had more fun with my 4x4 Slash playing in the mud than what I had racing it on the track lol. I left it all stock with a 3S lipo...she was a rocket for sure. I always had a great time when the oval was muddy...we'd get a bunch of trucks out there bashing...that was fun...until we had to clean the clay off lol.

thats the joy of waterproofing. a water hose, a stiff paintbrush, and a can of wd40 and ur good to go. i got rid of my slash 4x4 bc i didnt have time to race. the scx10 stays in my truck most times and i can randomly pull it out and run a pack thru it...best beleive i'll be gettin a race truck as soon as i can afford it though!

More carnage. Busted my front end and then realized I had already broken the rear axle brace...again. I just got done replacing it. I see some aluminum in my near future.   |
