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

[Habanero]

***Dry fit them before you cut the holes***

The topmost holes did not line up with the mounting points. I had to cut holes again and they lost some integrity.

 

[HARDRIVE]

Glue in some styrenes at the back to make it more rigid and also you will have a tight holes

Next to order tires
Im going to use
1.55 pitbull growler tires
And probably pick up a set of rims after

 

[Habanero]

Good idea on the styrene might do that.

 

[HARDRIVE]

I really like this look of the ladder better than on the back hahahah

Looks nice. Getting my new system tomorrow at 10am. I doubt I'll get much sleep tonight lol. Went from a 2200kv to the 1800kv a few hours ago. Guy wants to keep the 2200, but I don't mind.

On a second good note, I finally got a new phone. Quad core processor, Android KitKat 4.4, and it's not an apple hahaha

 

[HARDRIVE]

Lol
Im using a note4 my self


What do you think lol
I wish thats a dark color
Wonder if i can paint it

 

[-SCXD90-]

I got the LG Tribute. I don't see a need for an octacore processor...

I'm sure you can powder coat it. What material is it, aluminum?

 

[HARDRIVE]

Not even sure what material its not a real diamond plate

Ill get this one instead


And saved that for a future build

 

[801RYAN]

That's the set I like...

 

[HARDRIVE]

Hard to find that diamond plate
I have looked all over

Just made the order from hongkong wtf lol
I think this is better than rc4wd
This thing is bolted on
Shipping says 3 to 5 days let see how good this company
But they have good reviews from other guys

Gotten the new plating yet? Is it the same color or darker?

I'm going to get working on the Dodge this weekend, I found a local guy with a 2001 1500 (Same gen, and not dually) so I'm getting all of the needed measurements from and then I'm getting started. Also made a prototype trailer out of the box for the SCX10 (gonna be a camper type trailer) Really happy with how quickly this build is progressing, although I ended up stripping the bolts in my wagon wheels so I'm gonna grind them down to a perfect circle and then back them out with a drill bit on my dremel. And I need 2 more wheels for the dually part. Might get new axles before I go dually....

 

[HARDRIVE]

Nahhh the mailman didnt leave it on my box today lol
He left me a pink slip
Crap gotta wait till monday and ill just go pick it up
Yeah its black like that on the picture i hope lol

Right now im looking for an rtr semi truck
I want to have one of those so baddddd
Ever since i got hooked on rc i wanted one of those
But so far the only thing i found is ebay
Man makes me worried ordering on ebay
I dont want to get cheated specially those rigs are over a grand

 

[-SCXD90-]

Buy one and build it yourself.... It's both more fun and you can personalise it as you build....

 

[HARDRIVE]

To much work hahaha
I just need something to play around with

 

[HARDRIVE]

Rcmart
Plates


This things is way better than rc4wd
It came with a rcmart license plate lol
Good way to advertise their products
Smart



One tiny problem
How do i screw this thing
So small or so tiny those screws that came with this lol
Looks like a needle size screw

 

[Habanero]

I could not get those suckers to stick!

I wet sanded the doors, because I knew I would put stickers there but neglected other areas and in hindsight should have done that for the plates too.

 

[HARDRIVE]

Yeah the rc4wd plates are stick on
This thing is bolted on with tiny screws looks like a needle
Might need to buy those tools for watches or eye glasses

 

[HARDRIVE]

Im pretty sure you can make it bolted on those rc4wd plates


Sad to say this project will be put on hold
All fund will go towards my other project


Made to order
Viking 55 sports fishermen yacht
Similar to this one
My dream boat

 

[HARDRIVE]

New tires and inserts for this project



All i need now
Proline powerstroke shocks
Landies wheels
Winch switch or what ever you call that thing

 

[-SCXD90-]

Pit Bulls! You'll love them. I'm actually quite a fan of the stock G2 tires though lol.

Purchasing the wood for the Dodge tomorrow.... I'll be starting my build thread on here once I get home from the hardware store.
