Thank you progresshas been slow lately an so has my ability to take it out. getting way to much rain here all of our trials are knee deep in water. Shoulda built an air boat.

thinkin about ditchin the roof rack for a while. what does everyone think?

[cbp27]

Getting rid of the weight on the top will help with balance. Then you might have more fun enjoying it rather than worrying about it tipping. I say try it out.

[Colorofkris]

lol. most deff

[Colorofkris]

finally got some pics coming for you soon. Did some minor mods, lost the roof rack and remounted some scale stuff. Lost the spare on the hood. andddd thats about it.

Real nice build! I bought my D90 from Peter on ebay and the rc4wd gelande chassis. It was to be my summer project then my wife broke her ankle, I bought an Axial Ridgecrest (my current project) and the D90 sits in its box waiting. And waiting...

I appreciate you (and others) describing your build process and driving experience.

Cheers,
Todd

lol no prob. This so far has been my favorite and most exciting/ scale build. It took along time to get it right but now that it is it is alot of fun. Sadly i dont get it out as much as I would like, but I am very proud of it every time i see it. When you pull out the d90 let me know i would love to see the progress of the build. An i would be more then happy to share any advice that I can.

looks like my normal spot is now taken over by nature, i was gonna go do some scaling but seems plans have changed

[doc.hamilton]

When I start my D90 I'll definitely do a build thread! One thing I do know about my D90, the color will be AA Yellow w/white roof... that's all so far.

My normal running spot has been taken over by the local University. They are doing a massive project with he creek system. It's been beneficial for crawling but not the creek running I was enjoying - oh well. The trails behind our house lead to a park with real nice hiking trails, but aren't real fun to take the RC (wide trails and too few obstacles to forge)

Cheers,
Todd

So, after running the jk body for a long while, I want to move the d90 back on the scx10. (i got a cc-01 yj recently as well) Im thinking of taking the d90 and cutting off the top and making an open top safari d90, with the roof rack on it. I will also repaint it with a different paint scheme. Not sure yet, if i get some reference photos i will post, havent found any with a similar look to what I want yet.

[Colorofkris]

Done. pics are being uploaded right now, I will try to post them soon. Im stoked to get this thing out.

[Colorofkris]

Here ya go! The Idea is to be a safari ready expedition vehicle. Still have so stuff to do, but this is pretty much it

Hello

I haven't noticed if you cut the inside to fit the axial transfer box, did you get the cut?

I say this because it seems that the body is a little high compared to the chassis, on this photo...



For the rest everything is very good, nice project!!
