| Dingo kit wheelbase issue
I just got a Dingo kit so I can have something to run this Sunday at the first scale event for my club. I got enough assembled tonight to get the chassis into a roller. I sat the body on top just to get a quick view of everything when I noticed the tires weren't lining up with the wheel well openings. I measured the wheel wells and got about 10 3/4" center to center, then the wheelbase of the chassis was 11 1/2". I used the aluminum lower links that came with the kit so it isn't like I make the links the wrong length... Since this is my first Dingo kit, I'm not sure if this is the way they come or if there's another issue. Feel free to chime in. |

Same issue with mine. I just made custom links top and bottom rather then try to figure it out.

What length alloy links are you using.

| Re: Dingo kit wheelbase issue No idea haha. I custom made mine to fit the wheelbase I wanted and where I had the body sitting. I used Traxxas 5525 ends, threaded rod, and steel tubes.

I just got a dingo kit as well for a blazer build and ran into the same issue the wheel base is off and I used the 91 mil links supplied and have a 11 1/2 wheel base . So sounds like we will be doing a little. Cutting to get it bang on . |
