Here is a picture of my finished 1/32nd Orlandoo DooRok, with white body panels.
I don't see many of the DooRok's posted, as finished builds, so wanted to share this awesome little rock bouncer / crawler.
Here are some more pictures and build notes.
For some reason, my manual was missing a few pages. All of the info was there for the hardest parts, such as the gear box and axles. The kit is extremely well organized, with all of the little parts and screws labeled clearly. Most of the truck went pretty quick. I'd say it was all together 5-6 hours to complete and install all the electronics. Getting the ESC/Receiver, wires and batteries into the tight cage was no easy feat.
Seeing the cage next to a ball point pen really shows how tiny this truck is.
Here is a completed rear axle and 3 of the most critical tools for building these trucks. A fine needle nose pliers, #00 hobby grade screw driver and this awesome tiny hex wrench that was included in the build kit. I did use other tools, but the screw driver that came in the kit was basically useless.
Here is the motor and gear box all built. I opted for the 500RPM, which seems about perfect for a tiny rock bouncer. Also, ordered the metal drive shafts, not included in the kit. All parts came from Tiny4x4.com. Great site for micro RC. I went with the Orlandoo mini ESC, so low end control is not very precise, but it does the job and seems to suit the vehicle.
Here is a picture of the finished coil over shocks. I actually ended up using all metal internally sprung shocks, ordered from tiny4x4.com. The ones that came in the kit are pretty nice and easy to assemble.
Finished front and rear axles. I apologize for not getting more pictures of the actual build, but it is difficult when you are in the middle of such a micro build. Axles were relatively easy to assemble. The links... total PITA.
Here are the Rock star and Renegade wheel options. I ended up using the deeper dish Renegades, the ones that are unpainted in the above pic. Tires were glued to the wheels using proper tire CA.
