Default New to me Dingo

So like a lot of us i was ready to hop on the Axial JK Bandwagon that was when my buddy called me and asked if i knew anyone looking for a crawler, He had picked up a Axial Dingo on Craigslist and had gotten bored with it



$200.00 later it was mine. He had put in the traxxas xl5 lipo cutoff speed control and a traxxas 12t motor.

so first thing i did was cut up the wife's mesh laundry basket



then i found a HPI Baja Bug rack for $8.00 bucks shipped



it comes with really cool scale mirrors



got a 3Racing winch for Christmas



and a set of MTHead beadlock rings

I 4 linked it with traxxas revo push rods TRA5318 .

i am looking for a new dingo body for this build

Looks good so far. Cant wait to see it once you get a new body to build it like the yellow one.
