Dinky R/C Tim Cameron "Show time" Hey there guys and gals! Had a friend ask me to build one of these the other day an decided to make a build thread for this because this is my first time making a tuber, let alone welding this much. Hoping to make it look at least 90% identical. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-c...imCameron2.jpg https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-I...imCameron5.jpg Pics of it so far. Using the stock Wraith base, with a DDK set up in it and some Wraith dinky links on the axles. 3six seats. 3Racing winch. Front chassis mounted servo next to the motor, rear servo mounted on the axle. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/--...2/IMAG0804.jpg Welded on the out side GR7 screw mounts, than ground down the chassis. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-X...2/IMAG0811.jpg Than welded on the servo mount and the GR7 inner mounting brackets. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-F...2/IMAG0813.jpg Sorry for the bad pic, but for the inner mouthing brackets, I used some cut off SCX-10 rails. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-G...2/IMAG0817.jpg More pic's soon! Thanks for lookin'! |
Re: Dinky R/C Tim Cameron "Show time" You better take some advil now...you're in for a major headache with all that tubework! If you can get it 90%...you're doing really well! Go for it! You seem to have a good start. Take your time and get it right. Subscribed to see where this goes."thumbsup" |
Re: Dinky R/C Tim Cameron "Show time" looking good! i knew matt couldnt be coming up with all this stuff on his own...;-) |
Re: Dinky R/C Tim Cameron "Show time" All things considered..........believe I feel a bit butt hurt and saddened that this build was able to get the "second" shot at getting started with the GR7. Oh well live and learn. That being said...knock it out of the park Ty! |

If you're going to build a rock bouncer it might as well be this one. You going to cover up the stuff under the hood with anything? |
Re: Dinky R/C Tim Cameron "Show time" Tube work only.... Just like the 1:1 |

Well wile everyone was walking in to walls an licking the window from RCC being shut down, I got some more work done on this buggy. I needed a substitute for RCC being out an had to fined other websites, like Pirate4x4's rc thread just to tide me over for my fix! :ror: Here's the pics that got deleted that I had up from last time. Got the winch plate and servo mounted. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-7...2/IMAG0818.jpg Just enough room for a BIG motor, like a Tekin Redline Brushless :twisted: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-d...2/IMAG0822.jpg Than made the front end and welded it on. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-I...2/IMAG0825.jpg https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-K...2/IMAG0826.jpg More pics in a couple hours. Just need to take an post em. |

Re: Dinky R/C Tim Cameron "Show time" Now to the parts that are going onto this beast. Mickey Thopmson 2.2 http://www.beadlok.com/product/images/30/DSC_9236.jpg Proline Super swampers http://prolineracing.com/images/products/1166-14.jpg Team Tekin RS Pro ESC Combo System w/ 7.5 Redline Sensored Brushless Motor http://thebarnfloor.com/catalog/prod...pg&w=160&h=120 Hitec HS-M7990TH Digital Mega Torque HV TG Magnetic x's 2(rear steer) https://www.ckrccrawlers.com/images/hrcm7990.jpg VP Wraith Axels http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-1961459...3_2195_5607096 |
A 10.5 would be a better Tekin choice. I had a 7.5 in a Honcho and the low end wasn't enough for even those little tires. It will still be faster than you need or can use. Use it with a MMP and have more voltage options too. |

Re: Dinky R/C Tim Cameron "Show time" Really excited to see this take shape. Nice list of goodies. Those Mickey's are probably my fav wheels... this month anyhow. :mrgreen: |

If you want real power though, the Pro4 3300kv is the motor to get. HOSS. |
Re: Dinky R/C Tim Cameron "Show time" Drive by brail... That is a little harsh, seeing as I pay for what have and I break parts, and laugh. If you can't have fun, why do it. |
That what I mean, if you want to giggle like a school girl and leave a trail of broken stuff, the Pro4! |
