Technically speaking, none of them actually fit. In order to fit one, regardless of length, you need body mounts/rock sliders and you'll need to alter the wheelbase, shorter for a D90 and longer for a D110. But it's really not too difficult, it depends how scale you want it to be. When you add into account the cost of some nice rock sliders, front and rear bumpers, scale wheels and tyres, chopping the interior up to fit the centre mounted tranny, IMO it makes a lot more sense to just buy a Gelande II D90 or D110. But it depends how well you want it to handle too, an SCX10 will outcrawl a Gelande II, although the Gelande II is definitely a capable truck, having owned one and run one alongside an SCX10... But the SCX10 does tend to become a little bit top heavy when you add a D90 body, so if you want all out performance, than a lexan body would be the way to go. Hope that helps.
