| 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 Last edited by DeweyCJ5; 01-10-2013 at 03:51 AM. |

Looks good so far. Cant wait to see it once you get a new body to build it like the yellow one. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 |
