Default Gelande 2 Pickup Build

I think everyone has seen how to build these to a roller so I am starting at that point.



This was my first D90 from 13 years ago. A Gelande (the original one).



So, this is going to be a Pickup, Marine Blue with a White top. As I don't have the facilities for brazing anymore, I will have to make do with some help from Injora, CCHand and RC4WD. I do have to get my 3D printer set up as I need to make a couple parts. This is my first build since 2012.

Awesome to see you building another rig after a 12+ year hiatus! The D90 trucks always look great to me.

Thank you. After I retired in 2012 and moved to Mississippi, I realized that there are no crawler groups within 3 hours of me. My land is primarily pasture and flat woodlands with no rock. So, I decided to get out of the hobby. I REALLY missed it so now I am back and going to concentrate primarily on trail trucks. Bought a couple RTRs to start, just finished a VS4-10 and now am working on a couple Gelande 2s.

You're welcome!

Besides running RCs, building them is such a great part of the hobby as well.

Waiting for some parts. All I have done today is added the Budy Mounts and built the trailer. Hopefully pain this weekend and electronics next week. New tires might even be in by then.
