Key Features
- Officially Licensed by Land Rover — This parts set carries the official Land Rover licence, ensuring that the design, proportions, and authentic details are accurately replicated from the real 2015 Defender D90. This licence means these components are exclusive to RC4WD and authorised dealers, guaranteeing genuine quality and design accuracy that you won't find in counterfeit alternatives.
- Precision-Cast Zinc Alloy Construction — Each component is precision-cast in high-quality zinc alloy, a material chosen for its strength, durability, and ability to hold fine details. Zinc alloy offers superior longevity compared to plastic parts, resisting wear and damage from the rigours of RC driving and handling, making these parts a long-term investment in your model's durability.
- Durable Black Painted Finish — The black painted finish provides a sophisticated, authentic appearance that matches the real Land Rover Defender D90's robust aesthetic. This durable paint coating resists chipping and fading, maintaining the visual appeal of your build over extended periods of display or use, and providing a professional, finished look to your RC model.
- Enhanced Scale Detail — These metal parts add realistic scale detailing to your RC4WD 2015 Land Rover Defender D90 body, elevating the overall authenticity and visual impact of your build. The precision casting allows for fine details that capture the character lines and structural elements of the real vehicle, making your model a true showpiece.
- Improved Weight Distribution — At 117 grams (4.12 ounces), these metal components add meaningful weight to your model, improving weight distribution and centre of gravity characteristics. Additional weight contributes to better handling in scale crawling scenarios and enhances the realism of your model's movement and stability.
- Perfect Compatibility — These common metal parts are designed to fit the RC4WD 2015 Land Rover Defender D90 Body Set (Z-B0215) with precision engineering, ensuring seamless integration with your build.

Technical Performance

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these metal parts necessary, or can I build with plastic parts only? — Whilst you can build a functional RC4WD 2015 Land Rover Defender D90 with plastic parts alone, the metal parts set significantly enhances durability, weight distribution, and authenticity. Metal construction provides superior longevity, better handling characteristics through improved weight distribution, and enhanced visual appeal through precision-cast details. Many serious RC enthusiasts and scale model builders consider metal parts essential for achieving the authentic look and performance that the RC4WD Defender D90 is capable of delivering.
- What chassis do these metal parts fit? — These common metal parts are designed primarily for the RC4WD 2015 Land Rover Defender D90 Body Set (Z-B0215) and are shown installed on RC4WD Gelande II RTR chassis in the product photography. However, they are engineered to work with RC4WD platforms that support this body set. Always verify compatibility with your specific chassis before ordering, and consult with RC4WD or authorised retailers for clarification on alternative chassis compatibility options.
- Will these metal parts add too much weight to my model? — At 117 grams (4.12 ounces), these metal parts add meaningful but not excessive weight to your build. For scale crawling applications and realistic scale modelling, this additional weight actually improves handling and weight distribution. The metal components help lower your model's centre of gravity, improving stability and creating a more realistic driving experience. However, if you're building for high-speed bashers, you may prefer lighter components.
- How do I install these metal parts? — These metal parts are designed as a set that installs onto the RC4WD 2015 Land Rover Defender D90 Body Set (Z-B0215). Installation typically involves carefully positioning and securing the metal components according to RC4WD's assembly instructions. The precision engineering ensures that components align properly with mounting points on the body set. Always follow RC4WD's official assembly guide and watch instructional videos from authorised RC4WD dealers to ensure correct installation.
- Are these parts officially licensed? — Yes, absolutely. These metal parts carry official Land Rover licensing, making them genuine authorised RC4WD components. The Land Rover trademark and logo are used under proper licence from Land Rover, ensuring authenticity and design accuracy. This official licence means these parts are only available from RC4WD and authorised dealers, guaranteeing genuine quality and protecting your investment.
- What is the difference between common metal parts, SUV metal parts, and truck metal parts? — RC4WD offers three different metal parts sets for the 2015 Land Rover Defender D90: the common metal parts (Z-S2039) which fit all configurations, the SUV metal parts (Z-S2037) for SUV-specific builds, and truck metal parts (Z-S2038) for truck configuration builds. The common metal parts represent universal components that enhance any build, whilst the configuration-specific sets add additional metal details relevant to your chosen body style.
