Key Features
- CNC Machined Billet Aluminium Construction — This roof rack is manufactured from solid billet aluminium using computer numerically controlled machining, ensuring precision tolerances and structural integrity that will withstand the rigours of regular use on any terrain. The aluminium construction provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, maintaining scale authenticity without adding unnecessary mass to your RC vehicle.
- Black Anodized Finish — The professional black anodized coating not only delivers a stunning visual appearance that matches authentic off-road truck styling, but also provides superior corrosion resistance and durability. This finish protects the underlying aluminium from oxidation and weathering, ensuring your roof rack maintains its aesthetic appeal for years to come, even when used in wet or challenging trail conditions.
- Durable Nylon Bracket System — The included nylon brackets combine strength with engineering sophistication, offering vibration-damping properties that reduce stress on your vehicle's body whilst maintaining rock-solid mounting security. The kit includes both long and short brackets, providing flexible mounting options to suit different body configurations and build preferences.
- Convenient Scale Accessory Mounting — This roof rack provides a genuine functional platform for mounting scale accessories such as jerry cans, storage boxes, light bars, or other cargo items that enhance the realism and authenticity of your D90 scale build. The rigid aluminium platform ensures accessories remain securely mounted during dynamic trail driving or off-road bashings.
- Tidy Roofline Design — The carefully engineered profile of this roof rack enhances the visual proportions of your D90 pickup body without creating awkward overhangs or unsightly protrusions. It integrates seamlessly with the existing body lines, helping you achieve a cohesive, professional appearance that looks like it belongs on the vehicle.
- Complete Mounting Hardware Kit — Everything needed for secure installation is included in the box, eliminating the frustration of searching for compatible fasteners. The M2 steel button head cap screws and nylock nuts ensure your roof rack remains firmly secured during intense driving sessions.
Technical Performance
The RC4WD Vision Roof Rack represents precision engineering at its finest, crafted from premium CNC-machined billet aluminium that delivers exceptional strength whilst maintaining lightweight performance characteristics essential for scale RC vehicles. The black anodized finish isn't merely cosmetic—it's a functional coating that provides superior corrosion resistance, essential for rigs that are regularly exposed to wet conditions, mud, and outdoor environments common in UK RC trail events. The structural integrity of the machined aluminium platform ensures that mounted accessories remain perfectly rigid under acceleration, braking, and cornering forces, eliminating any flex or vibration that would compromise the scale authenticity or practical functionality of your build. The nylon bracket system, comprising four long brackets and two short brackets, distributes load forces across multiple mounting points on your D90 body, protecting the original bodywork from stress concentrations whilst maintaining secure retention. With dimensions of 165mm length, 100mm width, and just 5.98mm height, the roof rack adds visual presence without compromising the proportional aesthetics of your scale model. Weighing only 68.5 grams, it represents a negligible addition to your vehicle's overall mass, ensuring that handling characteristics and off-road performance remain uncompromised. The included M2 x 5mm and M2 x 12mm steel button head cap screws, combined with black nylock nuts, provide secure fastening that resists vibration-induced loosening during extended trail sessions or competitive off-road driving.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the RC4WD Vision Roof Rack suitable for my RC D90 scale build? — Yes, this roof rack has been engineered specifically for RC4WD D90 Pickup Body sets and is fully compatible with Gelande II RTR kits, Gelande II hard body kits, and standalone D90 body sets. If you own any of these platforms, the Vision Roof Rack is an ideal upgrade.
- What makes this roof rack better than a generic or 3D-printed alternative? — The CNC-machined billet aluminium construction provides superior durability, structural integrity, and precision tolerances compared to 3D-printed or injection-moulded alternatives. The professional black anodized finish offers genuine corrosion resistance, not just cosmetic appeal. Additionally, the engineering has been validated by RC4WD for perfect fitment and performance on D90 platforms.
- Will this roof rack add too much weight to my RC truck? — At only 68.5 grams (2.42 ounces), the Vision Roof Rack adds negligible weight to your vehicle. This minimal mass addition won't compromise handling, acceleration, or suspension performance, making it an ideal upgrade for weight-conscious builders.
- Can I mount real accessories on this roof rack? — Absolutely. The rigid aluminium platform provides a stable mounting surface for scale accessories such as jerry cans, storage boxes, spare tyres, light bars, or custom cargo carriers. The precision-engineered top surface offers multiple mounting points and excellent durability for long-term use.

The included M2 fasteners and nylock nuts ensure secure, rattle-free mounting without requiring specialised tools or technical expertise.
- What is the black anodized finish? — Anodizing is an electrochemical process that creates a protective oxide layer on the aluminium surface. This finish provides superior corrosion resistance, protects against weathering and UV damage, and delivers the professional aesthetic appearance that defines premium RC scale accessories. It's far more durable than paint or powder coating.
- Will this roof rack work with aftermarket body sets or other brands? — The Vision Roof Rack is specifically engineered for RC4WD D90 Pickup Body configurations. Compatibility with other manufacturers' D90 bodies or brand platforms cannot be guaranteed without verification of body dimensions and mounting point placement.
