| New Dude, New Dingo VXL
Hey guys, Eric from Canada here. I am new to scale RC and rock crawling and very happy to be part of this forum. So, I got a dingo after buying a RC4WD Trailfinder 2 at the local hobby store. I put a VXL system and waterproof servo which I’ve stripped off from my Stampede. My stampede is now a roller I am happy with this kit but I gotta say that Axial needs to do a better job with their packaging because parts were in different bags and not according to the manual and it took me more time to build it than what I expected. I also bought a Proline Jeep Rubicon body for more scale realism. The dingo also features front LEDs lights. Lots of wires also. Here are some assembly pictures and the final thing.

No really guys, I'll be real careful. I tested it today and it runs amazing. I have good experience with the VXL system and I learned how to apply throttle real good. I'm too broke to go buy a crawler ESC with drag brake at this moment. But I will eventually.

Be careful! it's not really a matter of full throttle, it's the sheer power and torque. If you get bound up in some roots you'll start breaking driveline parts. Other than it being a VXL SCX-10, it looks great! You may want to rethink the gearing from stock, as suggested. Hope to see you out on the trails in the York/Durham Regions, there's a ton of us around.
