The PVC material is designed to be trimmed using body scissors, and a reamer tool should be used to create mounting points and adjustment holes as required.

• Do I need any tools to install these fenders? — Yes, body scissors and a reamer tool are essential for proper installation. The fenders are supplied slightly larger than final size to allow customisation, so you will need to trim them carefully to fit your specific vehicle configuration and suspension setup using body scissors, and create mounting holes using a reamer.
• How much do these fenders weigh? — The complete four-piece set weighs just 1.79 ounces or 48 grams, making it an extremely lightweight upgrade that will not affect your RC vehicle's handling, suspension geometry, or performance characteristics.
• Can I fit these to a different RC body or platform? — These fenders are specifically engineered for the 2015 Land Rover Defender D90 body and are compatible with RC4WD Gelande II platforms. Fitting them to different body shells or chassis types may require significant modification and is not recommended, as the design is optimised for the Defender D90 proportions.
• What material are the fenders made from? — The inner fenders are constructed from durable PVC plastic, which provides an excellent balance of rigidity, flexibility, and lightweight performance. PVC resists damage from impacts and abrasions, making it ideal for RC use, whilst retaining the fine detail needed for scale accuracy.
• Are these fenders pre-trimmed or do I need to customize them? — The fenders are supplied slightly larger than the final required size, allowing you to trim them to precisely match your build.
