Re: Dual Dingos build thread. First build thread!
 

I hadn't even brought that it up yet. My servo wires rub the frame to.

Re: Dual Dingos build thread. First build thread!
 

I initially ground off a bit of the shock mount attaching flange. It helped a bit but under hard flex I noticed it still had slight rub on the frame. There are a few home built CMS units in the SCX10 section but I went with a unit that comes with a panhard setup from CKRC. It and the 2500 mah 2s Gens Ace lipos are my favorite addition and are all under $20 each.

I've started making the brace that will Fit in the body post holes on the rear. Is making the shock hoops stiff a good idea? My thought is yes. I've tried searching for this and I couldn't come up with anything. Appreciate any input.

It works great. used almost all of the orinal hardware, besides 2skrews and 2 nuts. try It out. doesnt effect any thing.

I decided the Dingo body needed a grill and head lamps. I plan on using Axial light buckets and the screen covers. I'll make my own lense out of clear lexan. I first tried cutting and trimming to fit inside light covers. Took to long and to much sanding. I remmebered that I had a protractor with points. I then scibed the circle on the lexan and trimmed, much easier.

Now I cut a test hole in some styrene to fit the light bucked and lense cap. I trim the tab that hangs down on the lense caps. This way it will fit flush againest the styrene.

Now that the lense cover fits flush, I needed to make a flat spot on the screw post on the light bucket. Didn't want to cut or remove the screw mount completely. I had to make sure I removed enough for the thickness of the styrene and lexan body.

Here's a test fit on the body. I haven't ream a hole on the body yet. I noticed that the D90's light is off center closer to the grill. My try here I centered it To the light plate. There's still room for 3mm light. Just not sure if I was going to put them. Was trying to be slightly different.

Please feel free to make any comments! Looking for ideas and tips or I hope I'm helping you with your ideas. Thanks.

Re: Dual Dingo build thread-My first build thread
 

I like it... I'd drill 2 more holes for 3 millimeter LEDs and you could have the running light and turn signal too:)

if you look there is probably some good textured styrene you could use for a grill!

Re: Dual Dingo build thread-My first build thread
 

That's what I was thinking. I'll wait until I get some 3mm LEDs to test fit.

Re: Dual Dingo build thread-My first build thread
 

They look good

Re: Dual Dingo build thread-My first build thread
 

Bought more goody's yesterday. Should some LED's, resistors and holders coming in the mail in a week or so. Looking forward to installing these. I will tell you guys, whoever said cut up credit card was dead on! I'm just glad I've paid cash for all so far. I told myself when I started to build these I just wanted to have a couple of bashers ready to go. Now I got one going scale really fast. I'm Addict, I have a problem! Time to sell more on eBay!

By the time you figure it out its too late:)

Most of the LED's stuff is in. The next day or two ill have some mini toggle switches coming in. I had to go the cheapest route possible due to lack of funds. Total cost less than $20. Screws and servo Y harness was seperate cost. Plenty extra for mistakes. LED's are 5mm which fit all Axial light items on the Dingo.

Got the LED holders mounted for the rear tail lights. Real easy to install. I had the 3 light decal stuck there and I used it as template. Since weather been warm, decals just peeled off easliy.

Finishing up the grill. I moved the light buckets off center to match more the D90 grill. This will give room to install two lights next to the headlamp. I found very thin strips of styrene to lay on grill for texture. This will give some dimension to it.
