I haven't gotten a gatekeeper yet, but if we are talking pure performance, the bomber is better. The gom has scale, build and looks going for it, but the bomber is bullet proof and just performs. If I had to give one away though, I would keep the gom and lose the bomber.. which sounds crazy. The gom just has so much charm in my opinion. Scale drivetrain always blows me away.

Thanks!

Just a small 1.9 Rc4wd 1.9 desert kings run really small.

Etsy store is mostly abandoned. I just didn't have the time to make these sadly.

I'd do custom orders, but Id have to charge more than what I think people would pay.

When I calculated how much time it too to make them, I was only giving myself like $3 an hour haha. I don't think anyone wants to pay what I would have to charge. Eventually I will find a way to make them faster, as they are all hand cut and fitted right now.

How much would you change? 1/6 scale community is vast... Facebook alone I am on 20 different groups Don't be shy How much would you charge

@@sjfrouleau $375 is what it would take to be worth making. If I could have the trigger and nut made by a machine shop or manufacturer the price would go down. Right now they are cut to a rough shape on a mill and hand filed to size. I know you didn't ask for excuses, just for the price haha.. I just always feel like I need to explain why I came up with that number.

Thanks man. I had an Etsy store, but it wasn't worth it to me to make them and sell them for what I was selling them for. I'd have to figure out a way to manufacture them instead of doing each one as a one off, meticulous process.

Its an Ecig and pump rigged to an RX activated on/off switch. I almost never use it, but it is a fun little gimmick.

Tamiya TS-15

Thanks. I plan to do some more scale videos. Have some ideas. It's all 3D printed and scratch build with styrene. I ordered the seats and dash from a guy who printed them, because he would sell me the files. Filled the print lines with putty and painted. I think jsscale sells the printed seats and dash now.

Yeah.. I never got around to making one. It's... Nice.. when it's good it runs great, but it is a high maintenance type of rig. Mostly the gear shift/dig. Always something needing tweaking. That said, I still love this thing to pieces, and it was such a fun kit to build. I wouldn't recommend it as a one and only type of rig though. Disclaimer: I'm running a faster motor than it should really have 3800kv sensored brushless. I think a normal brushed crawling motor would suit it better.

The axial yeti. Pretty easy answer. Built the kit, add parts where it's weak and give it some power. There is something really special about how the thing drives. Bomber might be a close second if you'd rather focus on the crawling more than racing.

@@dustinf11 Great thank you helps alot...what custom parts does it need to make it bullet proof "the ones your referring to as weak"

@@firstflite8987 The big problem with a stock Yeti and even the kit is the plastic ball ends. They get very sloppy after only a few runs. That and an aluminum motor mount are the ones that come to mind. Maybe an upgrade to the steering, but that's more performance than durability.

@@dustinf11 great do you have the information for what motor mount and what ball ends to purchase to upgrade this and eliminate the problem? Thanks so much!

@@firstflite8987 I used SSD aluminum motor mount for the yeti. Ball ends are 5.8mm The motor mount, just Google "axial yeti motor mount" and make sure it's not for the XL.

What is the highest dive? I did this when the game was still a new release.

@@dustinf11 I am not 100% sure where is the highest, but at least the high dives you can do around Kaer Trolde are higher. Even the simple one from the bridge between the western part and the eastern part of Kaer Trolde is. A high dive from the mountain on the west part, like I did here: th-cam.com/video/Ue3x6nbke1s/w-d-xo.html is also much higher.

Good and bad... It seems I need to work on it just about every time I take it out.. but maybe I'm asking more of it than it can give. I think a brushed motor and crawling/light racing would be good for this... But as a basher, I'm always tweaking it. But the pros outweigh the cons as it's a blast to drive and was a really enjoyable build.

@@dustinf11 I'm running brushed 27t now, it's still fun, and switched the front dog bones to cvd's, also running 4WS which gives it tremendous agility. But I noticed my ring/input axel gears are wearing quickly and front diff lock seems to have alot of play, have you noticed any of these things? This isn't my only crawler but as you said, it seems to be the most wrenching.

@@OverlandSubaru I also got rid of the dog bones as soon as the cv's came on the market... And I was blown away with how steep the steering angle is. But, with my gom luck, I bent one on the first mild bump it took. It was faulty because I've since jumped and bashed on a new set without issues. Gmade actually sent my a brand new pair, which was nice. I've opened my from diff using axial spider gears. That was a long process of tweaking, but it's holding up now. I'm definitely asking more of my gom than it's made to give. With unlocked front and brushless power, but the thing runs awesome like that. Maybe I should have bought a bomber, and I probably still will, if that's the truck I'm after, but there is no denying.. the gom just looks great.

@@dustinf11 hmmmm, i wonder if a different locker would fit......?

@@OverlandSubaru I would be shocked if it didn't. I mean, axial spider gears fit without any real issue. Also, before I knew gmade would send a replacement CV joint, I tried to find cheaper replacements. The bomber CV was very close to working, just a bit long. The yeti cvs fit if you changed the shaft to a bomber. So we have some compatibility. I might be able to check the fit. I have a bunch of axial lockers sitting around.

Hey Jeremiah, I love my Yeti still. I tried locking the front diff but ended going back. I like the handling better open. Yeti is a beast. Nothing I own drives quite like it. My Baja Rey being close. I imagine the Rock Rey would be similar. It has this ability to fly over rocks and obstacles while looking effortless and capable.. hard to explain. One thing: the whole rig gets sloppy after a lot of use. This was the kit version and I imagine the RTR would be the same or worst (if they still come with plastic ball ends). If someone doesnt want to upgrade, they will have a ton of slop in every moving part. After a lot of hard use anyway. This is an easy fix: new links, preferably aluminum. Still one of my favorites.

Thanks so much for your reply! I just bought a yeti. I've been running a mostly stock Bomber and a solid built brushless Wraith. The yeti looks awesome, can't wait to hit some trails!

@@jeremiahscoutii7561 I think your going to love it.

Thanks!

M Goo Thanks man. That means a lot.

Dan S Hahaha... I love that! I'm glad you still enjoy it Dan.

Dustin Farnum hey email me I found a person who custom makes 1/6th scale chainmail

Oleg Khazhinskiy I would have to say the RR10 Bomber fits what you want best. I would personally choose the GOM, because it is a pretty solid rig with only a few necessary mods out of the box. But I worry about it's aftermarket support and parts being available going forward. Twin Hammers was a fun build, But I wouldn't recommend it. I tried doing too much to mine and now it doesn't do anything overly well. I just picked up a losi Baja rey.. and while that isn't a crawler/bouncer, the rock Rey is kind of.. and comes in kit form. That is next for me. The quality on the losi stuff is really impressive.. especially for a $300 kit. No 2-speed option though, and there are known bearing issues on these. Another option might be the Traxxas TRX-4. It's a serious rig with 2 speed.. and the coolest feature: remote locking diffs. Speed and crawl all in one. Very top heavy though, so it won't win any races. Thanks for watching man, good luck!

Hi Dustin, many thanks for detailed answer, personally I do like RR10 Bomber because it's looks awesome and I saw crazy suspension mods for it... I do have TRX-4 and will test it soon, but I believe RR10/GOM are very different, I'm looking for something like this: th-cam.com/video/BBM4i5qR9jI/w-d-xo.html. Again, happy new year and thank you so much for what you doing, subscribed!

theguymike Thanks man! They were my favorite band until "Nightmare" came out. City of Evil is probably my all time favorite metal album. You nailed the influence.

Cpt Awesome You can get most the stuff from RPP. www.rpphobby.com/category_s/611.htm Or junfac m.junfac.com/category/gr01-gom/167/ As for the bearings. I don't believe a complete bearing kit has been released yet. I just shopped the individual bearings that I needed. I don't run mine through mud or water much at all, especially with a sensored brushless set up. So I havnt noticed the seal on the gearboxes. I know the shifter track gets full of dirt very easily. Being greased actually attracts dirt, but I don't think I would go without the grease on the part.

The slipper plates are kind of bad. I started by putting a bearing in place of the plastic spacer on the spur. That helped. And I ended up putting the slipper plates on my metal lathe and making sure they were true. Which they absolutely were not when I first started. I removed material on the back end of it. The part that going into/against the transmission. You don't need a lathe though, you can do it by hand or on a drill. Or just order the machined slipper plates that they sell. I eventually got it spinning perfectly without a wobble.

From what I can see, it's pretty similar. I think the bomber is more suited for bashing then the gom. Bomber is lower and has front and rear sway bar mounts. Besides the chassis mounted servo and panhard, it's all just small differences.

Bulletproof RC I got the gmade sway bar kit for it. But I am almost positive the vanquish ones will work with minor or no modification.

Dustin Farnum Ok cool. Is the kit still holding up? I’m considering buying one. Do you still recommend?

Bulletproof RC Yes, I still do. I havnt had time to make a follow up video, But I have a lot to say. I installed the junfac cva's made for this kit and HPI spider gears to open the front diff. And the difference was AMAZING. The stock turning radius was very poor, But this mod made it seem like it was touched by a magic wand. But.. I bent a cva shaft on my first light run. I think/hope it was a fluke.. But am not sure. Now I'm testing other shafts (Yeti, bomber) to see if they will work. But so far, nothing that came with the original kit has failed. Only parts I've added myself.

Dustin Farnum Awesome! Thx for the info! Your video was very helpful! Harley had me discouraged about this kit. He is losing credibility fast. Too bad he’s been obviously bought out by Vanquish and Axial

Dustin Farnum One more thing brother. I have the Yeti and love it but want something new. How do you like the Vattera Twin Hammers? I’ve debated on getting one of those several times.

Ab Conway Soon! It's been raining all week... and I've been working on opening up the front diff. Having issues doing so (wrong gears). Thanks for the comment. Look for a new video this week sometime.

Dave Grasser Sorry for the late reply. Yes, specs are correct. This thing is a monster for 1/10 scale.

Dustin Farnum no worries and yea I've got a custom 14.5" wheelbase scx10 and a 16" custom wheelbase hummer 6th scale lol that why i was confused with the 1/10 scale with a 15" wheelbase

Dustin Farnum hopefully they actually have mods for this beast unlike how the komodo and saw back got shafted

Dave Grasser I agree! Gmade has some aluminum parts and stuff out for it... But it's all just replacement stuff. I've been able to do some mods with random stuff. Link in the rear of the cage. Hpi spider gears in the diff. The junfac cva's are a must.. the kit should have come with them.

yea my biggest issue with my old komodo and sawback was transmissions _ no replacements metal gears and the diff gears felt like they were made out of cheap pop can aluminum and once again no upgrades

Awesome Mix Yeah, Harley went into the build hating it and nothing could have changed his mind. From what I've seen even initial haters of the gom have found it's actually a really great kit. Super fun and super capable.

Satanicmushroomfromhell I really appreciate it! Just got a new camera and mic set up. More incoming!

Black Bird FPV Me too.. no one was running it fast and jumping it in their videos.. so I decided to make one myself! The next video will be all run footage. Fast and nimble. Thanks!

Dustin Farnum do you have facebook to talk about it?

Black Bird FPV Just a personal one that I never post on. That's a good idea though.. I should have one foe my rc projects and custom builds. I'll make one.

Dustin Farnum add me "Damien Gans"

Black Bird FPV m.facebook.com/DFRC-126845918029906/?_rdr There, I've finished my Facebook.

Bishop's RC Crusade Thanks a lot man, truly. I'll definitely be posting new videos with this thing.

WingManGT I can totally see your point. This truck with some really nice sticky tires will be unstoppable. Which makes for almost no challenge. I too am having debate between the venture and the trx-4... and now I've recently become very interested in the losi rock Rey kit. Releases the end of this month in kit form. Thanks for watching and commenting.

khyzersoze Thanks man. Edit: Yes, it is 8.5t! I don't know why I kept thinking 9.5.... hmm. Anyway it has the dual sensor ports.. Great motor. And with the esc, you can make it as slow or as fast as you want. The esc is really what shines. I didn't know I needed an onboard temp sensor and mph calculator until I had this. Now I don't want to drive anything else.

With a 15t pinion I'm not sure why gmade would think it's too fast.. it really isn't. Maxed out the Gom will go about 30mph with it. But there is no need for that kind of speed I don't think. I have it tuned pretty low and it crawls great.

Awesome! Thanks man. Finally have a use for this motor. I'll be pairing it with a MMX Pro. My build will probably be similar to yours.

Which pinion did you end up using? It's 32P 15T right?

khyzersoze That's right. It actually fit a bit better than the stock pinion.
