AXIAL DINGO BUMPR UPDATE
AXIAL DINGO BUMPR DRIVER

I measured the inside of the roof line on the Cherokee body to determine the width I needed first, then cut the center of the roll cage as needed. Here you can see the narrowed Dingo roll cage sitting in place to sort out the mounting points. So the interior was painted predominately black, with silver and orange highlights. I decided to use black, orange and silver for my colors on this rig.

Aside from the Pro-line goodies, I also used an array of Axial parts on this build as well, like the narrowed Dingo roll cage, Dingo rear bumper, interior detail kit, exterior detail kit, Honcho bumper, Honcho spare tire mount, aluminum scale shocks, 4 link parts tree, light buckets, etc.ДЇirst thing we will cover is the scale interior, and what went into it. Since the 1:1 1700 class is limited to 33 inch tires, a smaller 1.9 tire looks the best for this style build.ДЇor this particular article I am going to concentrate on a few of the scale details that went into this build. I started with a Pro-line Jeep Cherokee body, interior, scale accessories and their 1.9 Super Swamper SX tires. Most of the customization went into the body on this particular build, since that is what most people see first. This build started life as an SCX10 Dingo, and the chassis/suspension is still relatively stock. Most people donвЂ™t associate the term вЂњcustom buildвЂќ with the phrase вЂњoff the shelf parts.вЂќ But, with a little imagination you can build a one off custom truck with store bought goods. I wanted to build a scale replica of the real thing using off the shelf parts that you could find at most hobby shops. If you havenвЂ™t seen the article, I built this SCX10 up to replicate a Jeepspeed Cherokee. If you want to read the article in RC Driver, this issue is now available at news stands.

Now that the article is out and in circulation, we wanted to do a little update with more details here on our blog. The guys over there did an article/interview with me about this build and how it came about.
