I think I may have dialed in my suspension just right. I was running rc10 rear shocks all around and it was just to twisty. If I ran with the rack on it was so top heavy that it would fall over. What I ended up doing is raise the front shock mounts about 1/2 inch with a softer spring. Then used the rc10 front shocks in the rear with the same spring as the front. It's just right even with the rack on.

as stated before the ride height is just about where i think it should be.

got this guy for a driver

doin a bit of indoor box crawlin



i think i have this rig pretty much tuned in.
its the other truck that is the headache. tune in will be posting a build thread when i get home from work.
Nick's busted old yota thread.

[GauchoMarx]

Hooray for indoor, box crawling courses! She looks amazing, dude.

[mygolfisslow]

so i just built a cage for the bed of my tf2 and thought i should make a better bumper for the d90....... all i have to say is best bumper yet......






now i need to get a real winch

[FattyMcJ]

Wow, nice job on that bumper!

[Pat M]

the snow & beach picture look full size real great job

[OKkrawler]

Man you seem to be a perfectionist when it comes to detail,everything looks great,I'm new to this and plan on getting a honcho or rubicon.Your build opened my eyes a little more with great detail and ideas,great work man!

[mygolfisslow]

Thanks for the kind words. I'm having lots of fun with both my builds.

[mygolfisslow]

went down to enfield to rc madness today and had a ton of fun

[2.slowduo]

Looks like fun. Were they nicer now that you had relevant equipment ?

That D90 body+load out is absolutely stunning and really looks the part, especially after the final suspension tweaks. Great tube work too.

Big thumbs up!

thanks.

i have some good news and some bad
the good did some swapping around of wheels and i think its just right

the bad. i took it all apart and stole the running gear for a tube idea i had

and some more good, i think im gunna get some t-rex axles for it.
unless some one has some scx10 axles they want to sell me cheap.

[mygolfisslow]

well since i robbed a bunch of parts out of this for my buggy build. i had to give this rig some much needed love.
got some t-rex axles and did some more scale details .........
on with the pics .....lots of them
1st off made a whip antenna

made some crates for the trunk area


got a winch and made a skid plate for my bumper

some crates for the roof with a tarp re-arranged some stuff up there

and as for the axles i just have to say not much mounting hardware with them. had to fab alot to get them to work.
painted diff covers

got the servo mount for the axles and had to chop it up and mod the hell out of it.



and had to do even more for the rear, made this




axles in

finished shots




and a shot with busted old yota

Unreal...more A+ work. Just when I thought there wouldn't be any more updates on this rig it comes back better than ever. I'd vote your D90 best scaler of the year.

If I knew I could turn something out even half as nice as that, I could probably find the motivation to start a scale project...but the fear of hours upon hours going into something that turns out crappy keeps me at bay.

Thanks, i dont know about scaler of the year but i like how its turning out.

made a snorkel today. thought it needed one.

[mygolfisslow]

need to get this going again so i can stop messing with it. made some fender well for it. a bit more scale.

[mitchr97]

how are you liking the t-rex 60's? I'm looking to buy some.

[mygolfisslow]

I haven't been out with them yet. Around the house they seem fine. They may not be as sturdy as the axial ones. I can see where there may be weak points. Mounting them with links was a project, lots of fabrication. It would not be hard to do with leafs. I love the way they look. We will see how they do once I start to beat on them. I say get them if you are comfortable with fabricating all the mounting hardware.

[mitchr97]

Awesome! that was the plan since the RC4wd 4 link kit looks gay on it in my opinion. I like the way you did the rear 4link mount props to you for that! I may have to copy that if you don't mind
