If you’re on the hunt for a scale RC crawler kit, that will be a fun challenging build and a capable rig when complete, look no further than the G-Made GS02F Buffalo kit found here: snp.link/a015f75e . Gmade has been offering some exciting off-road RC kits for some time now, but they put a massive effort into their new GS02F build up kit, spending a lot of time researching what RC crawler enthusiasts want in a kit. We were excited to get our hands on one to build up and test. Building took a while, but was an enjoyable build. The body that comes with the kit isn’t licensed but looks great when finished. Then out on the trail, the rig looks great and performs… well you’ll need to see the video. We’re not going to spill all the details here. We will say GMade did good here and was certainly worthy of the time we put into this review and this video will certainly be worthy of your time if you’re interested in seeing what GMade has to offer.

I think you didn't mention that the transmission comes with overdrive. It's 14.29% stock. The TTR trasmisión also eliminates torque twist completely. I am currently building my kit. Just need to paint the body and mount all the accessories. I am seriously considering getting softer springs to improve the articulation. I also went with Treal beadlock wheels to lower the CG :) I'm loving it so far. Not bad for a first build also ;)

No bump-steer on my steering of my GMADE GS02(F) MILITARY !! - It is better than my "stock" SCX10 II bump-steer, which probably is..... about 4% of the max steering-throw capability. Although I have modified my panhard-bar location for a (more level) & less short radius movement. 😁 And the servo arm (IF) thin enough, to clear the panhard on (both) same upper panhard mounts, is do-able when servo mount 1 set of servo spacers are used between servo and plastic servo frame mount !! I would suggest to anyone that owns either GS02/F & SCX10 II, to set your radio end-points !! - I hope this helps everyone that needs the "pointers" !! 👍😁🤘🇺🇲

The standard axle input can be swapped to optional parts if you don't like to run stock gmade drive shafts. part number GM30101 on gmade.net website. Then you get the same style inputs as the outputs on on gearbox. Option parts is only 7$.

@thomasgross8289 3 жыл бұрын

Probably stripped the spur gear or pinion. The pinion gear is the little one on the motor and the spur is the bigger one connected to it. Hope this helped. Also try trail trucks/crawlers, way more fun and durable than the go fast RCs, i advise the traxxas trx4 sport, BADASS rig.

After assembling the kit and installing electronics that you have to buy separately, the car is more expensive than a Traxxas and of poorer quality. This brand should improve its prices a lot or it will disappear
