RC4WD 1/18 Gelande II RTR 1/18 Scale Mini Crawler w/D90 Body Set (Blue)
This is a fun little truck. This is my most scale looking micro crawler and my first experience with a vehicle from RC4WD. I have owned a lemon of a Kyosho Mini-Z 4Runner that I had to return and I own 2 Axial SCX24's so that's what I'm comparing it to. My initial impression is the price point is a little high but compared to the Axial SCX24's there are quite a bit more non-plastic parts and detail going on here so I sort of understand. I DO think for the price point they should just have the light kit already included AND installed with the vehicle. It's pretty stupid I have to pay another $10 to add lights and dick around with installing them. Stupid for me, smart for them...BUT those sneaky little accessory sales make for a salty RC experience. I'm not sure about you but I enjoy working on 1/10 RC vehicles, not doing meticulous electrical wiring on something the size of a beer can.
On top of that, the lights didn't even correctly reach, I could only use 4 out of 6 of them (which is a review for another place). The main gripe I have other than this should come with lights already is that under the body and between the chassis where the wires fit is TIGHT. I mean tight like I had to finagle the body on carefully even before I installed the lights. It was a major pain in the butt to get the lighting wires AND all the other wires to fit cleanly AND get the body to actually install. I almost had to take out the interior to make this work but I was able to stuff some of the wires in the dash area...

As far as functionality this little thing is pretty capable! The Axial SCX24 will outperform this crawling but this thing looks like a BEAUTY while doing it! It's good at trail crawling and some light rock crawling it just won't dance over a rock course as the SCX24 does. It's a little slower than the Axial and the turning radius is not great. However, for the scale aspect and for what it is I'm happy with it. If you are into micros and want something else to add to your set I would definitely recommend this. It's actually really fun that it offers a very different driving experience than the Axial SCX24. I think both are an awesome pair for your micro collection. I wish the price would come down, this would feel less painful if it was $209.99 and included lights...wink wink RC4WD increase your production!

The transmission lasted less than 2 hours drive time of easy driving on a micro course. RC4WD would not warranty it so I had to purchase a new transmission for $30 plus a $6 service kit. I was expecting more from RC4WD!

As with any RC4WD product the attention to detail and overall quality of the platform was outstanding. You won’t regret buying this one!

Awesome vehicle!

This little D90 can go just about anywhere. I am very impressed with the manufacturing quality, performance, and attention to detail that went into this rig. I highly recommend it, if you are on the fence, you will not be disappointed. Can’t beat AmainHobbies’ shipping prices either. I have lots of plans for this truck in terms of modifications and places to take it. Everyone who has seen it loves it and has considered getting one as well. 11/10.

Fun little truck! Great for trailing around the house or outside in the backyard/flowerbed.
Weak point is the motor as it burnt out relatively quickly. RC4WD was good about sending me a replacement.

Not good at all. Run for 2nd time and gears stripped on motor and transmission.

Let me start with I own 4 RC4WD rigs and love them! I love the scaleness of the truck and it's fun to drive. I do have one complaint......just about every bolt and screw were loose. In fact I didn't catch one and it stripped out the threads in the axle housing so that axle is done (except the internals). A bit more QC would go a long way!
