Duncp Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Here's some pictures from the build so far. The axles and chassis are at one with each other. I had to remove a cross member because the servo was hitting it when the suspension was compressed. It runs. The winch fitted and working. I'll update again when I've done some more.

The Dark Knight Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Looking good so far What electrics are you running? What made you go for the Jeep G6 over the Dingo kit? Looks like you've already got a Dingo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncp Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 Yeah, I've already got a Dingo. Spektrum DX2L transmitter Spektrum waterproof receiver Mtronics TIO rock crawler ESC Savox WP servo HPI 35t motor 4300mah Nimh battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Whats the difference between the Jeep G6 & the Dingo? Is it just the body and the alloy shocks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncp Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 The wheel base is slightly longer on the G6 and they tyres are a bit taller. It's got 4 link suspension out the box as well. There's probably more that I haven't noticed yet lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Cool, I was looking at the Jeep G6 but I prefer the look of the Dingo which is why I went for it plus I'll not doubt upgrade it as I go along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncp Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 Just a little bit of painting today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncp Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) I also rearranged things on the electrical front as well. Still needs a bit of a tidy up though. Edited June 8, 2014 by Duncp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 The lights look good What sort of paint scheme you going for on the body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncp Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Cheers mate. The front is gonna be semi gloss black as well as the mud guards, seats and a couple of other bits in the back. The main body is going to be gun metal grey, I know the stickers won't stand out but I think it will look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Knight Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 That's turned out very nice Does the G6 not come with fenders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncp Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 Cheers mate, no it doesn't. The wheels are quite close to rubbing on the body as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Cheers mate, no it doesn't. The wheels are quite close to rubbing on the body as it is. That's a shame, a set of fenders would set if off even more. Still looks awesome though, is that 2.2" wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncp Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 I was thinking about getting a set. No, they're 1.9 wheels. The tyres are just a bit taller than the Dingo tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Ah cool, I was tempted to go for 2.2" wheels too but from what I've read, you don't get enough clearance with the Dingo & it's fenders and have to chop the fenders. I like the big fenders so will probably stick with the 1.9" wheels for now. I've got some 1.9" bead locks for it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncp Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 Cool, which beadlocks did you get? Did you see the pics from yesterday on facebook? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I went for a set of Proline Denali's, I was eying fancier ones but not sure if I'll be sticking with 1.9". I like the look of them though, so pretty happy. I've not seen the pics on facebook yet, I'll go have a look now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncp Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 They're nice. I had a look at them for mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Yeah they're a good price and a good looking rim and saves me having to glue the tyres. I didn't fancy paying over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
