Damn you, Francis...
Every time I see a video from you guys, my wallet starts to cry...
How am I gonna tell the misses...??
Great video
yeah everytime i watch your vids my wife gives me the look.... 🤨
Yeah... same... 😅🤣
Maybe I got lucky then... I told my wife that I wanted a TRX4 sport kit with some upgrades and she said" ok, as long as you give me your old SCX10 Honcho and put whatever I want on it"...
I have always been happy with gmade everything , sawback , komodo , and parts . And the price is worth the money for whatever you buy. Great review.
i have had this kit sitting in my office for the last 9 months & i am looking foward to building it this winter, Now i know what to expect thanks to your brilliant video, Thank You
Thank you very much for your honesty in the test. Although it has no portal axles, it has the Torque Twist Reduce Transmission (TTRT) which helps to reduce it. I think Gmade is doing well in a good price range so Junfac makes a lot of option parts for GMade stuff... take a look!
Thanks again Francis for making one of the best RC channels on TH-cam. Cheer up! Greetings from Catalonia
Great and honest review, dude! Really nice! 😃
This is why we watch your channel .......fantastic video ! Awesome review 👍🏻
Right on. This is why we do what we do. It’s cool to make little discoveries like this.
Really impressive !
Good review, full of interest !
Thanks for your job.
I love your videos they are so informative for us people that dont no about alot of things that you show us an I for one can not appreciate that enough THANK YOU. Jason smith rc fun
Super impressive. I did not expect that at all!
That truck is cool! Great video.
Nice review.. I will definitely get a gmade one day soon, just to try all flavours.... I've got a vanquish truck on the way at present, so maybe once recovered from that build..
Great channel, great info...
Cheers mate 👍
A great video. Thankyou once again.
So many crawlers so little money lol . The paint job looks great. 👍👍
Great to see what happened when you put the other tyres on, it made such a difference,😀😀😀
I ordered those gmade bumpers for my Trx4 F150 Raptor....perfect fit
Nice truck for the money! I was surprised. Proline tires are a must . Great video brother 👍👍👍👍
Thank you. We learned something too so we are pleased.
I may not always leave a comment but I try to always leave a 👍 from both channels!
Nice review. A brand / crawler I wouldn't have initially given a 2nd look at but the performance and price are nice.
Same here. If it wasn't our channel to focus on crawlers, we would have never bought this. Thankful for the opportunity and discovery.
I love your honesty bro👌
it's the best policy.
Couple of similarities with this and the scx10ii lower link mounts, incision 313mm links, shock hoop mounts and knuckles. I test fitted my brass knuckles off my scx10ii and even performed better. I do agree with the lower profile and my hyrax on, it outperformed my weighted scx10ii blazer.
Awesome channel thank you
Now you Must Test the BOM Kit i live it. and the tire also Perfect
Nice review GS02 ts kit seems better choice if going to mod.
I'm really excited to see what it does with a solid group of components. Imagine it won't be long until someone sorts out a new bumper for it.
Yes!!!!!!!! Great vehicles deserve great upgrades.
@@RCReviewChannel Getting one for my brother thanks to your review LOL Thanks again RC Review!
I just built the gso1 and noticed it's kinda old school, but cool !!! Now I know why I didn't know where it came from. Probably will get the ll, I love the hard plastic detailing.
Yes, it has very good construction in manufacturing.
Great review, I'm just becoming aware of GMade and have some their sr02 wheels as fitted to this one with the hyrax's and some of their more scale 4.19 MT1901 tyres. Have found them to be a great combo so far on my HPI FJ. Interesting to hear/see the MT1903s fitted as standard aren't excellently rated by Francis as I was looking to try some next. Thanks for the review bud, GMade might well be supplying my 2nd vehicle!
I just got some awesome Gmade beadlocks for my trx4, nice and heavy.
Pancouver venguins the wheels are good if not a little hard to mount tyres up to. The tyres not so much! The GMades now reside on my mates TRX Defender and look great on there
Dam that thing is just nuts it's going to be a smart choice for sure and one to get.
It really surprised us. It has counter rotating drive shaft which gives it Less torque twist
Awesome finally! Someone did the g made!
Right on, thanks. It was well worth the effort.
@@RCReviewChannel Different brand trucks, but wondering have you done or plan to do any reviews of the Cross RC trucks? Always liked their line up, I'm more interested now in the Gmade.
Komodo lives in Komodo island, Indonesia.. I kinda like this rig for my next upgrade
would love to see a list of upgrades you guys do to this truck, just ordered this truck. lol
Also they come with nice light buckets all set up for lights.
That’s right. You might have to set that up
Got to take one out right from the distributor here on the Westcoast was ok broke the front axle
That’s awesome
Very cool build series. Another model to look into to buy!!! As usual your killing my wallet!!!!
We save you money so you can spend more money. More smiles for miles
@@RCReviewChannel 😂😂😂😂
Thanks for the review! Crash easy friends!
right on, appreciate that.
GMade IS underrated!! I have the older, original Komodo, 292mm wheelbase, shorter Cab, same type Body. Also surprisingly good... But the Front Bumper on mine is attached to the BODY.
Carmine ✈🚂🚙
It looks like they’ve been quietly stepping up their game.
From what everyone else has told me, this new Rig is much better than the old one!
Is the new one really much better than the old one? I wanted to buy the GS01 as I prefer the look of it but I am wondering if that's a bad idea now.
@@Veganarchy-Zetetic Yes, it really is... Better Crawler, better Suspension, better Shocks, even better Tires.
The more standard 12.3" Wheelbase means that if you wanted a new Body in the future, that would be easy as well.
And the Double Cab is CHEAPER!!
@@CarminesRCTipsandTricks Thank you so much for helping me make the right choice. I just prefer the look of the GS01 I guess.
sanaol my rc
Softer springs in the back will shift the vehicle weight to the rear on steep slopes
Marches to it's own beat. =D So did the 1st GS01 with it's shocks & style.
I am seriously considering the second gen Komodo. Never had an issue with the GS01 Komodo but it wasn't the best performer. Nice thing about the GS02 is that many SCX10.2 parts are compatible. Considering the price it is a no brainer.
I guess I should not buy the GS01 if both are available then?
63% weight on the front axle is the way to go, Gmade got it right
Great rig. Quick question, will the AXE electronics from a Redcat Gen8 axe fit in this chassis including motor?
Www.junfac.com has a ton of upgrade parts for it, also some scx10.2 parts are direct bolt-on. SSD-RC, has some weights for the chubs and knuckles as well.
Thx for the review
My sons gs02 bom killed my trx4 bronco and my capra at a lhs coarse,so i bought a gs02 komodo but have not had a chance to run it yet.
Would love to hear your experience. Obviously need better tires.
Need to do a VS TRX4-sport, Enduro or just TRX4!! Doooo it!! ;)
Yeah... How do you think they'd both compare? Trx Sport
Did you vent the tyres or are they stock? My GMade steel wheels trap the air in them and was wondering if venting them is worth it?
Awesome 👍♥️🧡💛💚❤
I'm running those same wheels and tires on my trx4 bronco lol
Finally recieved my komodo gs02 kit.Does it use reverse rotation or straight rotation? thanks
Another great Video Francis! Best part is all the options we now have. And the quality gets better and better because of the competition! I hear Axial may be coming out with a portal axle crawler(other than the Capra) as well. Love all the options!! How would you compare this to the VS-4 Pro?
They have the save quality tires!!! :)
The VS4-10 pro is just at another level of build and craftsmanship. But we'll match this up with the Axial Traxxas and Redcat and we think it will do very well, box-stock, with spec test tires.
im getting this
beast mode!
pairing with with mamba x and Holmes hobbies 2700 stubby
stubby is a beast!!
@@RCReviewChannel which foam did you guys use for the hyrax ?
What do you think of the original shock absorbers of the GS02 chassis kit pro ?
I always wonder why Gmade is so underrated.
Small marketing and distribution and aftermarket in the US.
if and when it's in stock, the only version I can find has no light buckets, stickers only. I've also seen 3versions but don't know how to order the best one. help??
How much do these tires cost including wheels?
Are there other bodies that would fit on this chassis. This truck performs awesome.
You can change the wheel base to fit other bodies
HELP! getting ready to buy asap rtr version. but I can not for the life of me find the light kit, front and back. is that in the ts kit only. ive seen videos with real head and tail lights. its the one thing that sucks is the stickers. any help would be apreciated
Ahh maaaaaan. I'm looking for a beginner crawler and also want a little speed. Now I saw this and have one more to my list which purpose to be narrowed down to one :-D Which crawler that also can do a little speed do you recommend? :-)
Do you think the body would work with the Redcat Gen 8 set up?,
That is a good truck. My only problem with it is that it doesn't have a truck bed. I like any rc pickup truck I have to have a place I could add some scale load and equipment. . .
So the interesting thing with models is they don’t really have a truck bed. The reason is because they have coil shocks in the rear and they are too tall. To have a truck bed vehicles really need to use leaf springs which are awful for performance.
Almost looks like an scx10ii chassis... and dimensions of the link set up look similar as well. But a bad ass truck by any means
for sure.
Awesome video , now I have a hard decision to make . Which crawler to get.
Right. We’re lucky to have choices but it’s getting tougher and tougher.
Komodo is the name of animal endemic from Indonesia.. komodo island.. so very dangerous like the rc performance 😁
You should check out the new Cross RC Demon VR4C kit
Yes, that did not work out for us because the drivetrain has a lot of plate and the transmission is very flimsy. Otherwise he would’ve been a good kit
Hi I’m in uk I have the first gmade komodo n it’s grate gos any ware all stock n it’s simerler price as that the thing puttin me off this 1 is it’s got plastic links n no roof rack when the first came with them that taken a step back to me ??
Started putting together my Komodo double cab kit yesterday. To my surprise my kit includes the TA PRO KIT Option. Heavy duty diff lock, Rear shock relocation, Cantilever system, aluminum links and aluminum arms and shock end balls. Six aluminum shocks and different size springs. Am I super lucky or is it supposed to be that way. Payed the same $280 for my kit and no indication that it had extra stuff! I see every one puts on the plastic suspension arms so maybe I got lucky. Enlighten me please.
Put er in low and lock a diff for climbing.
Maybe try some hevier wheels and the stock tires might work a little better and junfac makes parts for this
Heavier wheels will help.
Great vid my rc brother what park do you test at?
I was wondering the same thing. Maybe it was in ROCKland hahaha
@@juddroberts2454 its Linda Vista i believe
Put it head to head with TRX4 sport stockish
Yeah, maybe a new shootout is in order.
I was thinking of this kit vs TRX4. How much presence and support does Gmade have Stateside? Love your videos btw! Keep up the good work and god bless!
What color of blue love the blue
Would you buy one of these over a trx4
What esc are you using and radio
Killerbody LC70 does have a truckbed, I think.
Yes it does. The key to making it happen is it requires leaf springs.
Komodo, Element Builders Kit or SCX10 Builder’s kit? I’d automatically upgrade tires either route
Jordan McLaughlin sure but if the Komodo I’d switch those too
Great vid but imho I wouldn't buy this when the gen 8 in only 20$ more rtr.
Yeah I went with the sport. Several options near this price range that are proven. But this looks solid.
Does it have the upgraded gearbox? Or did it click when much torque was on it.
I think it is an upgraded version, not the same such as BOM GS02. There's a video that esplains that, serach on TH-cam, I think Matteo's channel... Not sure...
@@evoxer87 I've got a video that explains the issue. It should be updated with this Komodo as this was way after the BOM was released.
@@RevolutionX th-cam.com/video/m6D7O_8tk_I/w-d-xo.html
now providing upgraded parts.. no problem at all😀😁
Have you guys ever tried out gmade R1 rock buggy and if so what was your thoughts on it. I really want a buggy style rock crawler
No, this is our first Gmade.
I got one and i love it. Its built like a tank. But the Stock tires are not the best ones. With 4 wheel steering ist absolutely fun to drive.
What do you think SCX10II Jeep Cherokee kit or this?
This one. The Jeep Cherokee is so dated and a bit flimsy. But as far as upgradeability or modding, nothing beats an Axial
on the build video you said the tires were soft probably the best tires on any rtr and you said it had plastic links then later in the video you said it had metal links!
The foam of the tires is soft and that is good. However, they are not sticky or gummy as evidenced in the trail test. It has plastic suspension links but that did not seem to affect performance at all. All the steering links were metal. Trail test is the final word of course as opposed to initial unboxing impressions.
Appreciate all the attention to detail you've given.
Do you recamend it
The golden question is how did you manage to stop that annoying whine it has when you accelerate??
Is it standard regular wheel base?
Yes, 12.3"
Was the link not working for anybody else?
I'd really like to fpv this crawler. Give it a new perspective
The same here, dude. 😃
Something I've been thinking about: getting a RunCam Split Nano or a Caddx Baby Turtle (with 20x20 mounting holes) and a 20x20 VTX (I'm probably going to get a Rush Tank Mini, but any other is good enough) and mounting everything in a small piece of plywood or PVC. Then you fix it to the truck with dual lock.
The best part of it is that you can move it from model to model. 😃
We've never tried fpv
Maybe a dumb question, I'm new, what is fpv?
@@MrsRabbit8 First Person View. In the rc world, traditionally, you have a small camera on your vehicle, usually a quadcopter or a fixed wing rc plane, a video transmitter, and fpv goggles that receives the video where you can see what the camera sees in first person. In a quadcopter / drone and fixed wing plane, it makes the experience of flying incredibly immersive. I believe that with all the FAA regulations coming to destroy the Drone and fixed wing hobby, that adding fpv systems to rc cars, trucks and crawlers would be a great way to expand that part of the hobby and to really make driving these types of vehicles more immersive than ever before.
@@DanJonesShow thank you, much appreciated.
I have seen some videos. The barrage UV has the option, but the 1/24 UV is bouncy, not great for video quality.
I'm gonna check out some videos, so far from what I've seen, it's hard to see where your at, feels closed in.. this may simply be due to what im used to seeing, maybe takes getting used to it.
Thanks again!
무게추 없는 스톡휠+1903을 중량휠인 지메깡통휠+프로라인 하이락스에 비교하다니..악의가 있는건가요;
1903도 깡통휠에 무게추 들어가면 그립 괜찮은데..
Thank you for that.
주인장이 차량의 퍼포먼스를 객관적으로 보기위해 여러 차량에 공통적으로 적용해보는 테스트용 휠+타이어(앞휠에는 무게작업됨+듀얼스폰지+큰사이즈)를 이용한다는 개념으로 들리네요^^ 이 비디오 전체적으로는 코모도더블캡 극찬인데요^^ 조금 다르게 보신거 같아서 제(BOM유저) 의견도 적습니다^^
@@kyoojin 차량은 전반적으로 좋은평을 해주셨는데 1903타야 컴파운드가 단단하다거나 하는 의견은 공감이 안가는 부분이였습니다. 올해 컴파운드를 바꾸면서 충분히 부드럽고 접지력도 향상된 부분이 있거든요. 테스트 휠부분은 알겠는데 그냥 그랬네요ㅎㅎ;궂이 순정휠타로 몇번 뒤집어 놓고 아 이건 아니다하는 뉘앙스로 바로 테스트타야로 바꿔버리는 모양이...ㅎㅎ
저도 첫주행때 1903을 한번 사용하고 다른 타야로 바꾸긴 했습니다만 이건 아닌것 같습니다.
Any new updates on this or did you guys give up on it?
We'll take it out again.
I like the sun roof.. but it seem awful noisy
It's pretty loud. But not Redcat loud.
@@RCReviewChannel Great and honest review as usual. Two quick questions. How much weight you use on each front wheel and secondly do you recommend using proline dual stage foams only on back wheels and single stage in front wheels? Thank you again for great contend.
Hi i have them all And recently, started with gmade, 4 link Jeep , learspring Jeep, of course changed tires And relocated battery for wright, surprised the heck out of me, they actualy climb nasty lines with minimal upgrades, hoy the boom with cantilevel, Only mods heavy rima with stock tires , 60 oil in the cantilevel shocks in rear And performs pretty decente, but yours is exact excepto it does not have cantilevel And that alone males a huge diferencie, going to try get mines before mailing system colapse, watched your Review Many times , first time i comento, did You are awesome !! My God Bless You And family, plz Take care, the RC comunity needs You!!
what's the wheel's model?
Gmade steel beadlocks
Needs a bit of caster adjustment
Thank you I will check on that.
Yo
Very cool chassis but "marches it's own beat"... really? have you compared the front to the SCX10.2. It's a shameless steal. But of course a good steal is always better than a bad home-design ;)
You should come test it on our new Track in Fremont. Eastbay_RC on IG
Are you a Pilipino?
opo.
Priced about $25 to $50 too high I think. TRX kit is same price. SCX builders kit is $200
SCX builders kit has no body and no tires. TRX-4 Sport is the best thing available right now
@@RCReviewChannel for $80 you can get body and wheels/tires on the scx builders kit. TRX is a better buy, scx can be built for close to the same price, hence my opinion this needs to be 25 - 50 cheaper to make sense.
Buy it from Amain and use the coupon to get $25 off.
komodo island in Indonesia sir
right on.
Komodo dragons are native to Indonesia
That's some fine trivia right there.
