RC4WD Gelande II D110 Truck Kit w/Hard Body build/review

[-SCXD90-]

I'm sure the bumper will work. Take your time. This is why I love having a lhs. If I need help installing a part, they do it for me, for free most if the time. If you live near a hobby shop, take it in and I'm sure they'd be glad to install it for you.

I'll have to figure out what's wrong with photobucket, it keeps telling me "click to open image in full size". I'm guessing it's because I'm on an iPad and not a computer. I'll check it out tomorrow if I am off... Hoping for the riots downtown to be both over (costing the city money for repairs, which means taxes go ^)and for them go still be going strong (so I have off of school tomorrow)

I'm guessing you've heard about the riots in Baltimore Maryland, some guy resisted arrest and had his spinal cord accidentally snapped like a twig and died after being in a coma for a week. So people have decided burning buildings and police cars to the ground is a legitimate solution...... I'm not even an upper class-man in high school and I'm also ready smarter than they are...

[HARDRIVE]

So thats the reasons for the riots down there
We dont have that kind in hawaii
Were all mixed in here

Im excited for this coming saturday lol
Mayweather vs manny

Im rooting for manny to win on saturday

[-SCXD90-]

Nah man. Mayweather for the win.

Wth am I saying, I don't even watch boxing

Heck, I don't even watch sports, let alone tv in general. It's either (in order of most important to least important)
• Sleeping
• Eating
• School
• RC cars (maintenance, purchasing of new parts, installing new parts)

Ugh so I was talking to a friend from Chicago a bit ago and we started talking about scale axles, and now I have a merv that I am selling soon, I have to buy electronics for $100 (esc, motor, and batteries), I want a defender 90 body for the scx10 and NOW I want a set of leafs and T-Rex 60 axles under it. I need like 7492649 jobs to fund my RC addiction.....lmao

So hopefully the picture shows up, but I found an old set of Japanese headphones and if I can shorten the cord I can synthesize a soundtrack of an engine and install the speaker in the defender, so it makes real sounds. I'd need to find a way to make the motor sound match the throttle of the truck. Hmmm......

[-SCXD90-]

Of course it didn't work.....

[-SCXD90-]

Whoa.......what? Lmao

[HARDRIVE]

Whats that lol

Man im really disappointed with that bumper crap

[-SCXD90-]

I don't know what's up with that lmao

How much was the bumper? Which model was it?

[HARDRIVE]

Its an arb bu009 or something
Cant remember the number right now im at work lol

[-SCXD90-]

I'm at school right now but once I get free time I'll look for a manual.

I've been thinking all day about getting the brushless system for the scx10. Tapping my foot all day waiting for that package. Just like you did, I'm tracking that thing CONSTANTLY I can't wait to try it out

Why didn't I pay extra for overnight shipping?

[HARDRIVE]

Oh ill be getting a fxr tekin combo for this rig
Although i already have everything to run this
Tactic controller ae5 3sc rc4wd 35t motor

[-SCXD90-]

Noooooooooooo keep the AE-5 out of your rig. I've fried 3 in 1 month so far.....kind of agitating. Got my first March 14th, burnt it up that day, got a factory replacement, burnt that up a week later, and I burnt my last one up last week.

I'm going for the more powerful rig.

Stock radio and transmitter
Solar D772 servo at 6.0V (417OZ of torque)
Hobbywing 35A esc with dual 2s 45C lipos (4s 90C 4000mah total)
Tactic 2200KV
10 pinion and 96 spur

I might even get custom gears made. A 5t pinion and a 100+ Spur would be amazing lol.

[HARDRIVE]

I have ae2 on m6 scx10 its working perfectly fine
Ae5 still on the package that came with unopened
Is there any place out there i can get bumpers accessories for this thing
Im beginning to regret getting this thing
I like buying stuff and putting it together

Good. Keep it like that. The ae5 is a POS and you should upgrade ASAP.

Like I've said before, RPPhobby.com is the place to go. Customer service is excellent. [/QUOTE]

How much $ has it been so far? The only thing I've seen you have an issue with is the bumper... If you don't want the whole truck, I WILL take it. Roller, artr, or RTR I would take it. If you have any issues, I'd be glad to offer any assistance I can give you, and I'm sure even my lhs would be glad to help you out with any issues. If you need help with anything, post it up. We will get your rig running soon enough...

[HARDRIVE]

Well im not really concerned about it running just yet
I need a dropped in bumpers first
Then ill moved on to the tires something a bit bigger wider and a heavy rims
Then lights and sounds

[-SCXD90-]

I don't run a bumper.....I've not found a use for one yet. It kills approach angles and adds unneeded weight making the motor work harder.

Again, what do you mean by wider tires? You won't get much wider than 1.5" if that's what you're aiming for.

[HARDRIVE]

Anything other than that stock tires lol i dont like the stock tires
Ill get a 1.9 rims and use 1.5 tires on it

[-SCXD90-]

Have you considered the new RC4WD 1.7" beadlock rims and 1.7" Irok scale tires?

Most vehicles come with 17" rims, it's the most scale combo you can get. Check it out, you might like it.

[-SCXD90-]

Rims

Stamped Steel 1.7" Beadlock Wagon Wheels

Tires

Interco IROK 1.7" Scale Tires


Make sure to buy 4 packs of the tires, the RC4WD compound wears down quickly.
