Do you Dready promise to build the New RC4WD Gelande II Scale Truck Kit, to love and cherish it to carefully assemble and document the build process.
To Promote the Truck in it's STANDARD form, to photograph you build up process througout.
To drive as a mature adult taking time and consideration to pick your lines carefully as to not incure any necessary breakages.


(Dready)

I do





for now....................;-)



I'm Just going to pick it up from the Post Office Now.
Very Excited and also honoured to be one of the first to get there hands on this new Scale Truck.

BIG thank you's to all the Guys and Girls at RC4wd for making this happen and giving me the opportunity to build one up.

Oh Dready. I know you will love and cherish it, paint it, use the finest rock lube and rub it with a diaper. I hope everything works out and it is a long happy relationship.....
Until the inevitable happens....

Small Customs charge to pay but that's no big deal.

In no particular order some unboxing shots.
Very similar layout to the Trailfinder 2 everything is there and in it's place.

Axles ;)
First Impretions
Nice Looking, nice width, mounts are Aloominum.
I took mine apart and added some grease inside.
There is some in there but not enough for my liking.

Again I added some grease as it was a little thin on the ground.

Looking nice - love the added size on the axles and the smaller sizing of the trans.
More photos good Sir!

more we can do that
It's a similar Construction process to the TF2 Build Up.

Attach everything to one of the rails then attach the other one.

Thats it .............. I dont want to wait for pics anymore . Ill be buying one of these kits soon as they are for sale . I have always wanted the rc4wd d90 body and the well done chassis is a bonus lol . Those new front axles look tight with 8 degree knuckles . Is this truck going to be punished like the 1:1s are or are you going to give it a modest trail life .oh and is it done yet !
 
More Pictures this kit really is a breeze to put together, the instructions are clear and concise and pretty soon you'll have it together.

Shocks are sweet and just need filling with your chosen weight oil.

So much I like about what I am seeing....

Is that panhard bar not lateral from frame to axle? Seems at a nasty angle.
