Default Dingo gets a new home and new life. A.K.A. project old school

Ok everyone a friend of mine offerd me his dingo kit completed. His motor locked up after a few days of runtime and it killed the esc in the prosess. I got a new lrp esc hitec 525 servo a turnigy 2.4g gtx3 transmitter/receiver and a black ops 5000mah battery.

Current Setup
Body-Pro Line 1956 F 100
Axles-Stock Ring/Pinion-Stock-38t/13t
Pinion/Spur-11t/93t
Drive Shafts- Mip
Transmission-Vanquish Aluminum Transmission Housing
Transmission Gears- Robinson Racing Hardened Steel Idler Gear,Robinson Racing Hardened Steel 1 Piece lower Outdrive
Tires- Pro-Line Interco TSL SX Super Swamper 1.9 Height: 4.75" (121mm) Width: 1.75" (44mm)
Wheels-Axial 8 Hole BL
Motor-Trinity Mystery Stock Pro 27 turn
Esc-Team Novak Rooster Crawler p/n #1841
Servo-Hitec HS646WP
Batteries-2S/7.4 LiPo 5000mAh
Shocks-Stock With 30WT Oil with 1/2 Bumpstops
Front Springs-Super Soft Main/Super Soft Secondary
Rear Springs-Super Soft Main/Super Soft Secondary
Front Suspension-4-Link
Rear Suspension-4-Link













Last night I added a front and rear 4 link and I relocated the servo to driver frame rail. The front 4 link bars were made from extras parts I had left over from a different kit. The rear upper link is a plastic link untill I can get more 6mm tube. I made every thing with axial parts and some know how.
Tools needed were a tubing cutter a 3mmx.50 tap ans a small vice. I cut the upper link on the last m closest to the end of the link to get the length I wanted and just retaped the hole and this is what I ended up with.

Default Dingo gets a new home and new life. A.K.A. project old school

I just did the transmission mirror mod to my truck. I will be runing a brushles motor in it. I have the Robinson racing products one piece hardened steel outdrive and hardened steel idler gear in side the trans. I have a new body for this build and will post photos of the chevy when I get it back. A good friend is going to paint it for me. I have not made up my mind on what motor to put on it yet. I have 3 brushless setups I can use #1 Castle element 3900kv system #2 castle sidewinder sv2 4600kv system #3 traxxas velineon vxl setup.

I need to fabricate a longer steering draglink to go from the passenger side hub to the servo. I plan on fabricating the rear upper links and also changing the shocks and drive shafts.

I started the fabrication on my battery tray last night this is where im at this point. Im also going to add a esc mout to this so the esc will be up front. The mounts still need to be drilled so the tray will bolt to the mounts. I also need to mout the plates to the frame and shoot them with some paint to. More photos to come.

All the mods look great so far!

Are you planning on a panhard bar to combat bump-steer?

I made a custom esc box to go up front. I will also be using my traxxas slash receiver box in the rear of the truck. The parts I placed a order for came in today.

I pulled the front and rear axle apart and found no grease. I’m glad I found this now and not at a latter time. The truck may have had 8 to 10hr if that so every thing is good to go now.

The receiver box is on the frame now. I also took two 18in servo extension cable cut them down to about 3in. I needed one for my fan and one for the steering servo.

Well I have run in to a snag in my build and here it is. The battery tray will not work with the body I got for this build. We looked every thing over at the shop before I ever started. I did not think about the 6in long battery. The last photo is with the body pushed down over the tray. I like this body a lot but after a day the battery tray will have scratched the paint up and look like trash. The battery I have has the leads coming out the case on the side. Ok so this is my fix not to happy about the make of the new body but it fits and looks good. I had my hart set on the 1950 chevy but the Pro Line 1956 F 100 was my 2nd choice. So I will now just call this build project old school. This project is not finished there are still more tricks up my sleeve.


I would like to give special thanks to my good friend for the hard work he put in on teas two bodies for me. Rcpilotjr thanks bro.

I really like the Ford body, I've been wondering how that one would look on an SCX10. It looks more scaled than the smallish Chevy body.
