Why choose the RC4WD Gelande II 1/10 Scale Truck Kit?

The RC4WD Gelande II 1/10 Scale Truck Kit is built for serious off-road builders who want more than just a basic crawler. With its CNC-machined aluminium chassis and scale suspension geometry, this kit offers unmatched realism and strength. The 4-link rear and 3-link Panhard rod front suspension deliver precise articulation, while the chassis-mounted servo keeps the steering system hidden for a clean, authentic look. Whether you're building a scale expedition rig or a hardcore trail crawler, this kit provides the foundation for limitless creativity.

How does the RC4WD R3 single-speed transmission enhance performance?

The RC4WD R3 single-speed transmission kit is designed for rugged terrain and long-term reliability. Featuring a cast metal case, wide hardened steel gears, and a Delrin spur with slipper clutch, it ensures smooth power delivery and resistance to wear. The billet aluminium motor mount adds structural rigidity, making this transmission ideal for high-torque applications and demanding trail conditions.

What makes the Yota II scale axle V2 system stand out?

The RC4WD Yota II scale axle V2 system sets the benchmark for scale realism. With 8-degree round knuckles, removable differential covers, and a compact offset pumpkin, these axles replicate full-size engineering in miniature form. The 2.67:1 gear ratio and 178.2mm width at hex provide balanced torque and stability, making them ideal for technical crawling and scale builds.

Is the RC4WD Gelande II Builders Kit customisable?

Absolutely. The RC4WD Gelande II Builders Kit is designed for full customisation. The anodized black chassis includes integrated notches for cross-bracing and mounting hard bodies. Builders can choose from compatible body sets like the Complete Cruiser or Land Rover Defender D90, and add scale accessories such as beadlock wheels and off-road tyres. The electronics deck, servo mounts, and link mounts are all modular, allowing for tailored builds that reflect your vision.

How does the suspension system improve trail handling?

The suspension system on the RC4WD Gelande II 1/10 Scale Truck Kit includes dual spring 80mm scale black shocks with X-ring sealing technology. These shocks offer multiple sealing points to prevent leaks and contamination, ensuring consistent performance over time. Combined with aluminium shock hoops and a full-link suspension design, the system delivers responsive handling and realistic articulation across uneven terrain.

What’s included and what do you need to complete the build?

The RC4WD Gelande II Builders Kit includes the full chassis, transmission, axles, shocks, and drivetrain components. Assembly takes approximately 2–3 hours. To complete the build, users will need hex drivers, pliers, thread-locking adhesive, and a cross wrench. Electronics such as a motor (35t–55t), radio and receiver (2+ channels), high-torque servo, battery, and charger are required. Compatible accessories and body sets are available separately.
