Thanks, Rpp is where I got the Trasharoo.. Try swapping the shocks from your scx10 and to the D110 and see if that gives you enough lift. . I'm running scx10 shocks on mine |

Going a different route with the build. Going to make the sides of the body out of balsa wood sheeting and shave that down as opposed to the full pine sheet. All I need is money now. As for a chassis update on my rig, I've installed new links, driveshafts, a cms kit, a new transmission case, and I'm about to get an order in for a Panhard bar and a stage one Vanquish kit. I'm also thinking about getting the new ax10 ssd axle cases that look like the Dana 60, and also plan on getting a leaf kit conversion. Mainly for the scale appearance. All I need is to win the jackpot lottery and then I can finally start on this lol. I need a better (or a second) job..... | |

Balsa? Wouldnt that be to weak for the body? Imagine a rollover? And my mistake is 1.55 landies wheels for the 1.55 growler tires Its damn to big fornmy rig |

It'll be multiple layers of balsa, up to 5 layers. If it gets torn apart so what. Call them battle scars haha Yeah, the D110 doesn't work well with large tires. 1.55s or 1.7s are both good replacements though. I'm thinking about getting the RC4WD beadlock for their tamiya semi rims and installing their 4.19" iroks so it's still scale but I will get a little bit of tire oomph from the 4.19s |

Saw you were having trouble installing the RCModelex front bumper... Had the same problem (and also confirmation from Martin that it would fit RC4WD chassis, which it does not directly). Here's my D90 with it installed: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...aki_w_jore.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...g2_outside.jpg Here's the problem: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...er_mounts2.jpg I filled the gaps with some scrap plastic parts and just used 4 bolts to keep it in place (it does wiggle a little (not sideways) but does not bother me). Kinda bugs me too since this cost 80$ instead of 60$ for the RC4WD versio which IMO looks a bit better but was out of stock everywhere when I needed mine. Still, I've got tons of lovely stuff from RCModelex and love the shop and it's products. |

Those bumpers are to heavy for my taste Solid metal =heavy Its quivalent to two arb bumpers Ill stay away from any rcmodelex metals https://youtu.be/yU8DAAMrSUw Long way more to go with this rig No electronics yet I think ill install those windows now? Or should i work on interior before those windows? The windows might get on the way when im doing the interior later on |

| Re: RC4WD Gelande II D110 Truck Kit w/Hard Body build/review You realize you've got two front bumpers on there, right? You could clean up the look a ton by getting rid of the smaller original one and just using the ARB one. |

Aye yes sir The reason i have that old bumper in there Is that the arb bumper for some reason touches the grill So i left the old bumper as a shim so it will not be to close |

Why not buy the kit? The RTR isn't as good as the kit is, like many other RC cars.... I've decided to build a pro mod monster truck myself. Based off of the Ground Pounder, it'll have yellow rims, a black chassis, and a yellow body with lightening bolts and I'm going to call it "Thunder Chicken". Embrace the craziness lol |
