I just read through your entire thread and wow... Those are some super clean Dingo's. You are a far more patient man than I am for that wiring schematic! These are turning out superb and I can't wait to see how the lights all turn out. Oh, and killer videos! Cheers, Dylan |

| Re: Dual Dingo build thread-My first build thread Thanks. I hopes it's helpful. Lord knows I've been on here hours looking for answers to questions. Some threads only show part or just finished product. I haven't show all details such as painting, but I feel something's I've skipped are covered well.

Hahaha, at least you're not afraid to get her dirty! They always look good with a little mud on them! |

Started to solder up the fisrt stage of lights. I'll be doing the body lights first. Headlamp, front running lamps and the rear lights. The lights are 5mm, 3.0-3.4 volts. The resistor is 220 ohm metal type. The Ohm's are base on the LED calculator. Last edited by juswin24; 10-13-2012 at 02:23 PM. |

Back has been sore, so I took a break from soldering and finished by Dingo movie. Here's the final cut, enjoy. Last edited by juswin24; 10-14-2012 at 06:55 PM. |

Well, I got the front lights wired up and bundled waiting to be installed. I'm working on wiring the switches. I also made a 12" extension for body removal to unplug. I'm using servo extensions for connectors. Center tap of switch will the positive lead from power supply. Negative wire does not need to be attached to the switch at all. Switch just breaks the positive circuit. All negatives will lead back to negative on power supply. |

I've got the wiring harness made up and had to cut out two defective LED's. Pre tested as I went through the process. Put two new ones in and then a third one went out. I went back to the LED calculators and doubled checked all. Specs are still right. I figure its cheap overseas lights. Might have to fine better quality. My white LED's are USA and the color ones are "?" who knows. Replaced the burnt light and found a bad wire. Had to replace it and for now they all light up! Very small thin wire is easy to break inside the outer shell. It looked good but had no continuity. Last edited by juswin24; 10-14-2012 at 08:12 PM. |

Got the lights installed. Still need to tidy up the wires and install the switch. The rear lights look all yellow. The top lights are red and the bottom is yellow. |

Here's some pics of the inside of body. Thought about shrink wrap the ground wires but I didn't have full lengths of it. This Dingo is the rough work model. Second Dingo I will look into cleaning them up. |

I started to install the lights in the front bumper and found that with my body mounts in the front get in the way. I found on the second Dingo I'm building the body was to low. I modified the mount so the body was raised. This modification might allow you to raise your bumper like some have been doing. This was first attemp This was second attemp This is the height adjustment I had to make, about 1/4" This is the new bracket made of styrene. sorry for quality of pic shot with Ipod |

Here's the final product. Just needs paint. Body fits great and clears the wiring for the lights. [/IMG] Last edited by juswin24; 10-21-2012 at 01:20 PM. |

| Re: Dual Dingo build thread-My first build thread Thanks! I'm sure that's how some great things get invented. I just made some of this out of necessity. I could pay more attention to fab details but I get in a hurry. A little putty on the bracket and paint it will look good.

Got the front bumper lights wired, installed and covered in shrink tube. Haven't applied heat to the tube to shrink yet. I used another servo extension cut in half to make front bumper connection to wire harness. This allow bumper removal to be easy. |
