electrified Inferno-dx with Dahm's truck body
Posted: Sat Sep 13, 2014 3:21 pm
To celebrate my return to the site as a poster: some pics of my latest creation.
Kind of a side project that started with a miss-purchase on e-bay "those parts really looked like 1/10 in the pics"
On the out-side:
Dahm's original body to give the Inferno a stadium truck look. Little did they know a bout the wave of truggies that'd follow in the next decades.
My own rattle-can and tape paintscheme with some new window lines for a different look.
New wheels and modern rubber on 17mm hexes. (The Inferno-DX had nice-looking yellow spoke wheels, but was till using the 19mm hex design from the Burns.
Mixture of Parma, Dahm's and Kyosho decals
To come: a replacement for the bent spoiler mounts
On the in-side:
Home cut, drilled, countersunk and bent alu chassis
Glas-fiber reinforced plastic rails and front topdeck to add more rigidity
Slightly larger and a tad thicker shocks from Yokomo, with the original kyosho springs
Central slipper (no diff)
1/10 electronics set-up: using what I have and hoping to be allowed into the 4wd short-couse class at the club.
The servo is purpose-bought but will fit a 1/10 fine should I loose interest
Easy to convert to double shorties if a higher voltage set-up should some day become my thing. (Or parallel wired for longer run-times...)
