RC4WD fan Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) how are you mounting the body making the bits yourself if not big gaz does very nice work and you have to make your own links for the d90s wheelbase Edited August 13, 2014 by RC4WD fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have sourced someone else who is doing both my bumpers and my rock sliders And I'm just going to build it up as is for now then worry about the links later lol.

Oh How Original Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 Indeed, I'm not mounting the D90 straight away, won't have my rock sliders until the back end of next week anyway, plus I need to find somewhere that shows how to make the links and what size they need to be Progress... Apart from the hiccups and mistakes in the manual, I'm rather enjoying the build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lel-95 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 i wrote my link sizes down somewhere when i built mine, i'll try and find them if you're stuck for sizes i only had to make 6 links rather than 8 too because i managed to keep the standard bottom front links Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 Very very happy with this Need to set the suspension up a bit better as it's a little bit stiff towards the bottom, if anyones got any advice regarding that I'm all ears (or eyes) Obviously got to tidy the wires up and whatnot, but aside from that, she's complete. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give them a rebuild and try again, see how it goes lol. There'll soon be no oil in them if you've used the kit o rings I plan to change the shocks before too long anyway, someones suggested buying the Topcad 105mm piggyback ones from AsiaTees, only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I think I've seen those piggy shocks on Asia tees in orange are they. They look very nice all alloy is the best way to go. Trucks looking good. Are you going to go hemi with some plasticard. Looks like a mission but thee results are amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mini-z-awd Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 if its these shocks i would`nt bother with them as they need some work to get them working properly my mate had a set and they were stiff as hell i had to take one of the lower o rings off just to get them to work properly then they were too springy http://www.asiatees.com/display?Axial-Wraith-Parts-Hop-Ups-Upgrades&brand=Axial&model=Wraith&id=42795&pid=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 It was those yeah, since mentioning which I was going for people have been saying bad things about them, although I appreciate the advice from Matty who's been running them successfully, they just seem a bit too hit and miss. What shocks do you lot recommend? Ideally full alu and available in black or gun metal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I've never heard of king shocks, any chance of a link chap? So far people have suggested Junfac and Losi Comp Crawler ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
