          You need to remove those tiny screws, open the diff, then you will see another 4 screws holding the opposite from inside - the cover :-)

          In the end though, it all comes down to stick time...

              It sure is fun building this kit
              Gotta love my rc4wd



              How can i get more articulation on this kit?
              Thats the highest articulation it can get before it starts to lift the back tire

                First build the full truck, then you can adjust the suspension when it's running .

                  How do you adjust the suspension?
                  I made it a bit higher just by switching where the bolts for the shocks goes

                  Sametthing low articulation

                    Like Rocka says, best to build it first and run it a couple of times before changing the suspension. The articulation will increase a bit once you add the weight of the body and interior. If you still want more after that, the simplest thing would be to put in 90mm shocks, though that will affect your ride height. Of course, if this is going to be a shelf queen, it shouldn't matter too much either way.

                          I think that kit your doing is the one I like the most. The wheel base is more to my liking. I can never leave anything alone, so I would be chopping it up to come up with something different. I can show you a simple mod that is easy to do that you may like. You will need to find a New Bright 1/10 Jeep dash and cut the center out. Then glue it to the center of your D110 dash. I do believe that the kit you have also requires the floor pan to be reworked.

                            Yeah me too i like this kit
                            At first i wanted the d90 but its a shorty lol
                            Thats a good idea but where to get those dashboards?

                            Yes the floor pan is short
                            I believe it was made for the d90
                            Also a problem with the floorpan its to low for the battery underneath it
                            Im thinking of modyfing the floor pan
                            And make the battery ligned up with the chassi
                            So i can make it like theres a middle console between the seats
                            But not sure yet

                              Heres my i dea for the floor pan and seats

                              Get one more floor pan for the d90
                              Cut the front of the front seat
                              And add it to the back seat of the front seat of the other floor pan
                              And its perfect fit
                              And just need a strong glue to bond it together

                                Looking at my floor pan
                                I noticed its cracked



                                Its not noticeable but if its cracked almost all the way across the back seat
                                Disappointed again
