Yes a full review of the Hobbywing
The Korean Crips strike again! Great recruitment video. 😁👍🏼
It looks like their best effort yet! Now I wish they'd re-visit the R1 and update it.
I've been putting Gmade parts on my trucks and so far I like their products. Got some steel beadlock wheels and they are heavy as f... which is good. Also running their RSD piggyback shocks which are doing great so far. And they also make really good hubcaps too. It's really temptiong to pick up one of their trucks, I love how aggresive their scale crawlers look.
Some stuff you forgot to mention:
-opposite turning driveshafts to reduce torque twist
-front 3-link suspension to eliminate bumpsteer
-scale, narrow body shocks.
Correct, I didn't cover those things, but those are pretty much carryovers from the previous GS02.
Spicey Buffalo Chicken Wrap is very good
This looks like a good contender for that proline ramcharger body, front pumpkins on the correct side for that body, itll be interesting to see how it stacks up to the current competition on the market
4:06 love that wire management. Must be that ESC you have to contend with. 😉
HEY EASY! Usually I do a much better job. I'm probably saving that for some reason...
It’s a fordevy blazonco 🤷🏻♂️
Ha ha ha ha ha right
Awesome review. I love my GSO2 Komodo double cab
i got the military version of it since the buffalo version you picked up was sold out at that time. it just arrived and i am going to build it with bigger tires and heavier metal wheels and metal sliders. the military version doesn't come with led mount ready roof rack and front bumper. i will try to paint it light blue chevy blazer.
Yes I'm definitely picking up one I got the gs02 double cab and the komodo kinda skipped the bom and other ones but been pretty happy with these units plus its got a chevy square body so definitely getting it
Surprised that the buffalo 🦬 performs so well... I might just have to pick one up...👍🏼
great review! Truck looks amazing, Paint job and roof rack/light bars looks AWESOME!
I was kinda checking out the military version buffalo with the m1009 bumper and the long whip antenna with antenna lash! man its a looker! great video as always good sir!
That laid down sort of uhh diff cover struck me as very weird when I first saw this truck. But, sure enough, you're right, Currie does that style on many of their axles. It does make some good sense, as it makes the axle more likely to slide over something, instead of ramming the cover square into the obstacle, and getting hung up.
The inner fenders are indeed a bit half baked, but would be an easy fix.
If not running an interior, this truck could at least use some window tint.
When are Traxxas and Element RC going to hide their body posts?
This and the new Cross RC EMO AT4 are quite interesting
I have the GS02 Komodo. It’s a great truck. Maybe not a TRX but it’s unique win its own way.
I really enjoy your review style, always informative and very Canadian in your niceness
I appreciate that!
Nice honest review. Looks impressive compared to the older models. Would love to see a review of the Hobbiywing fusion combos. I'm certainly interested.
Noted!
A wild beast, ready to roam the Canadian prairie
or if frozen, the local park. Awesome color job 🔥
Nice review, good mix of bench and trail footage, thanks! A Hobbywing system review would be great, too. Cheers
Thanks! Will do!
Looks absolutely awesome. I want the pearl black Chevy blazer for sure.
t'was nice to get your view of the truck, now I am gonna watch again for the review.
good video, quickrun fusion review please
a tour of you shop and tools would also be cool
Sure thing!
Definitely on my list. With portals exploding all around it is nice to see another straight axle crawler that performs. The next rig will be the Buffalo or another Trail King. The SSD TK is hands down my current favorite and so much more balanced than my SCX10.X trucks. Wondering if you have any thoughts on the two trucks and how they compare?
I am pleasantly surprised with this truck. It sounds like a pretty well done truck. I’m not going to pick one up because I have a couple trucks to finish. I’m sure people who buy it will be impressed.
Great review. I love the Blazer looking body. I imagine if it was a licensed body the price would be a good bit higher. I might have to pick one of these up. I will probably get the military body though. I like the overall look better.
Awesome review. Definitely looks like a decent rig.
I too want your opinion on where that Hobbywing system is best used. I’m thinking my Traxxas TRX-4 Defender vs RC4WD Beast 2 vs Stampede 4x4 converted to awkward trail truck.
I've never tried a Buffalo Hot Wing...but I have ordered my Gmade Buffalo kit, apparently it's not in stock yet. Building the Gatekeeper currently to stay sane. Like your set up on the Buffalo!
I'm almost done my gatekeeper kit, I love the rear trailing arm suspension... I took the cage off, and dropped a proline power wagon cab on it. Just working on the back flat deck
That does look like a nice trail truck.
I do like my step dads sawback.,
Leaf sprung old jeep.
That has some cool features for sure.
The Buffalo is a contender for sure.
Great work man as always.
👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks 👍
Wash down these honey garlic wings with some ranch soda. Great review👍
Great idea!
Extend them wheel wells and it's a great unit
Yeah, looks really poor they way they don't meet the body, but that would be super easy to fix. Far better than trying to build an inner fender from scratch.
Thanks for the review been waiting for 1 of my regulars to do 1 👍
No problem 👍
That’s nice lookin truck thout u was goin do a build video on it n how was the new feature of anti toque twist m8
Fuck yeah. I love my GS02. One of the best trucks I've had. It's badass that it uses SCX10 II aftermarket parts.
Nice one, a comprehensive review for sure thank you looking forward to the run video! 😁👍
Thanks! 👍
Interesting feedback on the Fusion. It’s pretty much what I thought. If all you want is to go and don’t expect the moon it’s a cheap hood option. Perfect for a truck you just walk behind on the trail.
Yep, set your throttle trim just a bit off center and let the truck lead the way!
@@scalebuildersguild that's what I like about the Gen-8 Axe. Set it and watch it eat almost anything in your way. Within reason of course. I'm older now, I really enjoy trailing. Great work Josh, Excellent theme.
Yes and yes. Great video!!
Thanks for sharing 🥰👍
12.3” wow that’s longer or bigger then the rc4wd blazer guess can’t mount it unless the wheelbase be slightly shortened. Looks good though definitely beat rc4wd to next gen 80’s body. And yes Please go over the transmission in set up. Looks low enough for more scale space in the cab. Thanks for sharing. 🇨🇱👍
Love the review having hard time choosing which truck to get... buffalo, trx-4, rc4wd, sc10...I love the looks of the buffalo, but Traxxas and axial have better aftermarket support. I also have heard the buffalo has weak axel's due to cast gears.
I would say that the TRX-4 is the way to go. The SC10 is a solid choice too, more accurate, but the TRX is a better crawler. Thanks for watching!
Sorry I forgot one on the list the element Enduro series
I thought the transmission also had the drive shafts turning opposite of each other to remove torque twist. I like the more minimalist inner fenders, if you don't have to cut them to fit other bodies that is a good design to me. I might get one considering I can't find an HPI Venture builder's kit anywhere now.
That's correct, they do spin in opposite directions, but I can't say I noticed any less torque twist.
The Buffalo 🦬 intrigues me. And I do love me some Buffalo Wings!
I'll bet you do, Joe!
I got 1 n it is very good build I angry bout the inner fenders they could make to body not taken it out yet but Carnt wait to 👍
Good honest review as usual Matt I'm not a Gmade fan tho they need to get licensing l see and orange stripe did Harley Designs inspire that lol
i been waiting nearly a month and a half for it to come in the mail lol jesss any day im glad you got one
Still a pre-order I believe!
What kinda shock mounting options ya get?
Looks pretty good
Great review! Thanks! Would like to see a Hobbywing review too. And yes yes yes on buffalo wings lol. Aboot 😆
Coming soon!
I LOOOOVE spotting your little 321 block in the background during your reviews. So useful. I find myself looking for it in each video. Where's Waldo sort of thing!
I love it! I'll start moving it around now!
Hah cool
I'm thinking about getting this truck
Gmade need to upgrade the drive shafts like axial did with wb8 and AX30501 option part. The pin retention plastic part is simply rubbish. Otherwise I really like this kit. Well the inner fenders could actually use a rubber extension option part.
The Bom kicks ass!
Please do a Fusion review as suggested :)
I’m not proud to admit how long the intro took me to get... almost flew over my head
Great looking ride (well, except for that Buffalo! 🙄), ticks most of the boxes. Some really good features, nice touches like that fan mount built into the chassis brace. Interested to see how this thing sells. Good review 👍
Thanks for watching!
Great Video !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cool funky body color! Reminds me of 1:1’s from the late ‘70s/early ‘80s & yep, HOT WIIINGS hahaha! Good stuff dude
Throw a yellow bug deflector on the hood & its golden for sure
I am surprised Gmade is not more in the game and put portal axles on this truck like most other trucks in this price range,
Maybe because not everyone wants portals. Axial is coming out with a straight axle conversion for the scx10 III. Gs02f has gearbox with overdrive, 2speed and counter rotating outputs to reduce torque twist. I don't now if any other kits has that. Also no unreliable micro servo for gear shifting.
Hey what motor are you using in this build? Very interested in the built in ESC
Hobbywing Fusion 1900kv.
The tire direction is driving me nuts why you do this why hahahahaha.
Do you think it can be upgraded to become a good crawler? if you were to make it a crawler what would you upgrade and what would you upgrade to?
There’s not a ton of upgrades for these trucks, but they’re plenty capable out of the box.
@@scalebuildersguild I really appreciate you getting back with me on this so soon. Not everyone can afford to go out and get something in the price range of a trx4. I am just trying to do all my homework on these budget trucks as not to waste the little bit that my wife has allotted me to spend so i get the best deal on a capable crawler. I own a Remo hobby that looks a lot like the scx10.2 honcho and a few mods later and it's not too bad.
I wonder if the Traxxas Blazer rear tail lights would fit that body?
Dose it come with any electronics motor ecs servos and remote
No. Kit.
how do the shocks do?
Quite well!
I always find it interesting the little detail manufacturers miss. Like post apocalyptic hardware, Phillips head? I always kid olive rc about his post apololiptic hardware, but his builds are mostly post WWIII so it makes sense. But it seems all in all a good beginner truck for those just getting into the best realm of rc, ha. Thanks for the review my man.
To be fair, the Phillips hardware is only in the body. Hex everywhere else.
I strip hex head never had that happen with phillips
I've also never had Phillips head stripped from the factory but I've had plenty of hex head stripped from factory
@@ToGrimmToWin you need better drivers then!
@@ToGrimmToWin stay away from rtr and you will never have either. Star drive it best but rc stuff is such a low torque application hex has always done me right. Stripping is most often from cheap, weak steel, not necessarily the head style. That said, phillips has no place in my world.
I would have put the two BACKWARD mounted tires on the front lol!!!
Looks exactly like my 91 blazer last year they made square bodys
Did u mean to have the tire tread on the tires in different directions?
Well what do you know!? I totally missed that! Thanks for pointing it out!
Hell yeah i love buffalo hot wings. I had those tonight for dinner. Great video.
Do you know from looking at it if the trans from this will swap into the BOM?
Totally different skid.
I have
A Komodo 2 and was wondering the same thing
Can u add a link to what u use to print ur stickers
cricut.com/en_us/machines/cricut-explore-air-2.html
When will it be available in the USA?
So this or the gen 8 v2???
Pretty cool. Love the overall look , especially the tires...speaking of tires...has Gmade come-up with a softer rubber compound yet?
Not really. If I'm honest, I'm already swapping them out.
@@scalebuildersguild Thats a bummer..I really love the wide , aggressive look. Was hoping they were softer.
Anyway...great revof the rig. You actually have me thinking about getting one.
I just wanna know if you got your included "free gift" of eight zip ties!
A Bom body would look nice on it
Thanks for the review. I love those Donut guys!
Any time!
Has g made finally made a worthy rig.
I would think your high speed fluttering might have something to do with the overdrive? Maybe the tires are skipping?
No, even when suspended it's still doing it. Definitely the motor/esc.
since you never answered my superchat from the past. how durable do you think the axles will be. Thank you sir
Paul! I did after I realized I missed it! My thanks, and I think these will hold up. Like other Gmade vehicles, a standard driveshaft won't swap over. Only drawback.
Matt we always love your content, and not because your Canadian because you seemed to have some kind of sense about you. Great humor man, weather up there gets so cold you get to sit around and tell jokes.
Canada....Can ad a lot of humor. Corny
Awesome! Thank you!
I wish it have leaves optional!
That's a spicy Bufffallllooeeeeee
Honey Garlic is my favourite, lol
Are there any advantages of mixing tire directions? 😜
Yes, I get eagle-eyed viewers to comment on my videos. 😉
@@scalebuildersguild I really deserved that❤️
Oooooooo it’s so spicy!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Honey mustard for me lol
Awesome vid mi big bro❤️💯🇺🇸👍
I just received my kit but it’s been sitting in the box cause I can’t figure out theme and paint I got the military version any suggestions???
CUCV!
Sir, Siiir, Siiiir, I have to say I will be looking to this Buffalo and me living Nearby The Capital of Wings I'm going to have look in getting a 12 piece of this flavor of wing, Buffalo to be exact lol...
I like it but I’m still using an scx10
Nothing wrong with that!
Ok I haven’t built a kit yet. But you guys are what 12 yr old me dreams of now that I’m 40 and can afford them.
Looks a little different from gs02 komod double cab.
Had wings last night, made me sick! IDK what that's aboot. Nice truck tho man!
do i want the new gmade buffalo truck? i do want the review and the hobbywing fusion review....shoot it Matt! Thanks.....Look at how far kia has come maybe this will be the kia ofthe rc world....what do you think about the mst portals?
Was this a review of the GS02F, not the GSO2? Also, isnt the diff between the GSO2F Buffalo, Bom , Komodo, and military just the body?
Put electrical tape on fenders to extend. Helps keep debris oot! LOL
That color combo,🤨
No captions bro. Help us who can't turn the volume up at times, please =D.
Sorry, I'm not typing out everything. Volume up!
I want the crawler world to learn from the drifting world. Magnet Mount plz. Are people making mag mounts and I don't know about it? I am a noob.
Magnet mounts very much exist. But even strong magnets will give way before a hidden pin will.
crawlers go through rough terrain and roll/fall over. things break and will not hold after few rollovers.
Being Canadian myself what is cost of this awesome rc.stay safe my friend.
I don't know, I haven't found a Canadian retailer. I generally quote USD's.
