Key Features

• Stainless Steel Construction — Manufactured from premium stainless steel, this guard resists corrosion and rust even in wet conditions typical of UK off-road environments, ensuring longevity and maintained appearance over extended use.
• Hand-Welded Build Quality — Each guard is carefully hand-welded by skilled craftspeople, guaranteeing structural integrity and the level of precision fit that ready to run RC models simply cannot match. This attention to detail prevents misalignment and ensures reliable performance.
• Silver Anodised Finish — The silver anodised coating provides both aesthetic appeal and protective qualities, delivering a clean, scale-accurate appearance that complements the 2015 Land Rover Defender D90 body styling perfectly.
• Complete Mounting Hardware Included — The package includes all necessary fasteners (button head cap screws in M3 x 16mm and M3 x 6mm sizes, plus black nylock nuts) so you can install the guard immediately without sourcing additional parts.
• Scale-Accurate Design — Engineered to match the proportions and styling of the real Land Rover Defender transfer case area, this guard maintains the visual authenticity that distinguishes high-end scale models from basic RC cars.
• Proven Compatibility — Tested and validated for use with RC4WD's Gelande II platform across multiple body configurations, eliminating guesswork about fit and function.

Technical Performance

The RC4WD Oxer Transfer Case Guard exemplifies the engineering standards expected from premium scale RC accessories. Measuring 89.8mm in length, 78.5mm in width, and 20.9mm in height, the guard provides substantial protective coverage without excessive bulk or weight penalty. At just 55.0 grams, the guard adds minimal mass to your model whilst delivering significant structural protection to the vulnerable transfer case area—a critical component that easily sustains impact damage during aggressive driving through rocky terrain or when climbing over obstacles. The stainless steel construction ensures the guard will not degrade from exposure to water, mud, or the varied weather conditions encountered during typical UK RC hobby sessions. The hand-welded joints represent superior construction compared to stamped or moulded alternatives, creating a component that handles repeated impacts and vibration without cracking or separating. This is genuine scale engineering at its finest, appealing to serious hobbyists and collectors who refuse to compromise on build quality. Installation is straightforward thanks to the provided mounting hardware, and the guard integrates visually with other Oxer components like the Inner Fenders (VVV-C1081), allowing you to create a fully coordinated appearance across your model's undercarriage and side protection systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will the Oxer Transfer Case Guard fit my Gelande II D90? — Yes, this guard is specifically engineered for the RC4WD Gelande II platform with the 2015 Land Rover Defender D90 body. It fits all three main Gelande II D90 configurations: the truck kit with Cruiser body, the Heritage Edition RTR, and the Autobiography Limited Edition RTR. Simply verify your model matches one of these variants.
• Do I need any additional tools or parts to install this guard? — No, installation requires only basic tools like a small hex wrench compatible with M3 button head cap screws. All mounting hardware is included in the package, so you can fit the guard immediately upon receipt without purchasing any additional components.
• Can I use this guard alongside other Oxer accessories? — Absolutely. The transfer case guard integrates seamlessly with other Oxer components, particularly the Inner Fenders (VVV-C1081). RC4WD has tested these combinations and they work together to create a fully protected, authentically detailed undercarriage and side profile.
• Why is stainless steel better than plastic or aluminium for this application? — Stainless steel provides superior durability and corrosion resistance, which matters significantly if you use your RC model in wet UK conditions. Unlike plastic, it will not crack or become brittle from impact, and unlike untreated aluminium, it resists rust and staining. The hand-welded construction ensures joints remain solid through repeated vibration and shock.
• What is the difference between this hand-welded guard and cheaper stamped alternatives? — Hand-welded construction creates stronger, more reliable joints that withstand impacts without cracking or separating. Stamped metal components achieve fit through pressing rather than welding, making them more prone to flexing and failure. The additional craftsmanship justifies the premium price through superior longevity and reliability.
• Will this guard add significant weight to my model? — No. At 55.0 grams, the guard's weight is negligible compared to the overall mass of a Gelande II, making it practical for scale crawling and off-road use without affecting performance or handling characteristics.
• Is this a purely cosmetic upgrade or does it serve a protective function? — This is both cosmetic and functional. Whilst it certainly enhances the authentic appearance of your model, it also provides genuine protection to the transfer case area from impacts, rock strikes, and collision damage that commonly occurs during challenging terrain driving.
