West Australian Dingo.

[suij]

So I got a dingo kit for my birthday with intention of joining in with scale comp here in W.A. Thought I may as well post a build a thread.
So far it's fairly stock.
Novak Eiger Esc
35t Terra Claw Motor
Cheap MG966 servo
Home made 4 link rear
Jaycar waterproof box esc
Traxxas waterproof receiver box
Here it is at roller stage waiting for paint.

All painted racing green and ready for action

First drive.

Stripped down again to do 4 link on the rear, waterproof boxes and relocate battery.



After first comp fitted overdrive gears into front diff to improve steering and working on some boatside sliders to replace the stock one.

nice build suij.....i'm from WA as well, and am hoping to pick up crawling....still deciding on one of the SCX10 to buy...

@rokie

I'm taking a break from SCT racing and bought an RTR Rubicon. It was a great point to start with to get into scale crawling and how to drive it, etc. before I modded up. Then being the SCX10 platform and using this forum mods have been positive and super fun.

Minor updates, was wanting a little more speed so in went a HH trailmaster 27t. Think lipo is on the near future!
Also fitted 3racing cvds and replaced the button head screws on the chubs with some counter sunk ones to get a tiny bit more steering lock.

Is your servo still working? Mine broke within 8 days (junk)

Well seeing as I had to visit Houston for a work trip, I took the opertunity to order some stuff that is too expensive to post to Australia.

New Team Brood is the thing I'm most excited about.

we'll have to get out for a rip when I get back to WA !

Bolted in new aluminium front cross members to stop the flex from the original plastic ones.

Also got some aluminium knuckles and a Solar D722 steering servo as the MG966 or whatever it was, was starting to get a lot of play in straight ahead and not staying straight.



Should be enough steering for now. I just have to get myself some more solder and then it's in with the new Team Brood motor.

Looking great, happy late birthday.

[suij]

Finally got hold of solder and fitted up the hand wound Brood apocalypse motor. It's a whole new world of smooth precise power!

[suij]

Well i've done a little more work on the dingo trying to get some better performance from it for this weekends comp.

First up I made up some brackets for the front of the rear upper links to improve the geometry.


Next up I cut up the body and bumpers to get some better approach and departure angles.

Lastly I made up a higher clearance tie rod.

Won't get a chance to try it out until the comp on Sunday, but hoping it works out.

how is the Brood motor compared to the HH motor? I have a tekin and a HH, both are super smooth, can't imagine it getting much better to be honest

[suij]

The brood motor is hand wound which probably explains why it's much better. I'm comparing it to the HH sealed can 27t trailmaster sport throw away motor.

That DIngo looks great in Green ... Hows the wheel speed with the Brood Motor ?

[suij]

I have all the wheel speed I need, if I find I need more I can always step up to 3 cell lipo.
