Re: RC4WD D90 forest version
 

hey!
Cage:
for Xtra Speed Defender D90 Hard Body (XS-59666), #XS-59684 ,(XS-59684) by Xtra Speed Metal Roll Cage w/ Luggage Tray
Super cheap but I had to modify it as it didn't fit.

Cool body did u have any trouble with your shocks

Re: RC4WD D90 forest version
 

Thanks.
Yes I had troubles with the shocks, they were super sticky, one is still like that. I removed the plastik o-ring that is inside the shocks to allow better movement which worked but they leaked...
So I run them no oil, just a bit for lubrication. The car is so heavy that the stickiness is a big issue. My biggest complain is the fact that I couldn't find softer springs.
That's why I bought some old man emu shocks, in 90mm to more flex, with different springs, still waiting some parts...Should arrive soon, I hope.

Are you building a d90?

Re: RC4WD D90 forest version
 

yeah sure am had one years ago and regret selling it but im copying yours how do u open the shocks to put oil I think im going to put proline shocks on mine"thumbsup"

Re: RC4WD D90 forest version
 

cool!
I have the proline on my vaterra, they work well and on't leak too much.

nice videos

Re: RC4WD D90 forest version
 

Did u make your rock sliders or buy them and when u did rubber fenders did you cut out the arches on the original body

Re: RC4WD D90 forest version
 

Rock sliders are from rc4wd, and yes you'll have to cut the original fenders! Take your time, it's a very, very hard plastic to cut.

Re: RC4WD D90 forest version
 

Ok cool thank you I think I'm going to make my sliders

Re: RC4WD D90 forest version
 

Sounds like a good idea!
Any pictures to show your progress?!

Re: RC4WD D90 forest version
 

I will but I need to text them to you
