Gmade GS02 Komodo rc crawler - First Look 

I really like this channel because not only do you make great content but, you also interact with your audience and listen to them.

I love all the close up shots you featured in this video. Please keep those coming. Even when your at the table chatting to the camera if possible. You guys have a great channel. Thanks.

I just built this and the gs01 komodo in the last couple of weeks and this was a nice kit.

I got the RTR version of this Komodo and the Sawback. I only changed the wheel/tires and different shocks. So far I have no complaints. Actually, the Sawback is one of My favorite crawlers. I only had this Komoto for a couple of weeks so, haven't really run it much out doors yet. I am happy with both trucks. Like Your review.

Looks a nice little kit, can’t wait to see the paint job

You're great man, I like your style of presentation, and positivity. Thank you for this review, covered some things that I would overlook.

I got the gso2 and I love it. With the right set up, it could hang with the big name brands.

I absolutely love the body!! 👊🏼😎👍🏼 Very nice rig. Another great upload bro keep em coming! 💯

Stoked you got one of these!! Not for me, but awesome to see in a vid!

Great video again mate.. Thank you. Your channel is d best.. Keep it up

I was just looking at this! Thank you for making this video!

Thank You for sharing👍. I'm using quite few GS01 for some time now. Turn angle and axle pumpkin are the biggest problems in my opinion. After watching you video will definitely try the gs02

I rarely make a purchase without your valued opinion my friend!

Such a nice kit. Have been looking at this one for a while now but picked up a cheap BOM RTR. Only run it a couple times now. Fairly capable set up 🤙

Great review, dude! Really nice build! 😃

I have a set of the 1903 Tires. they are great and the design really grips loose dirt. only drawback is their size. my rig was getting stuck high center a lot with them and I ended up swapping them out as a result. I love the look they have. too bad gmade does not offer them in a larger overall diameter. I also have a set of their shocks I really like them.

I’m looking at the G-Made GS02 kit version to add to my collection. Don’t really want the large 4 door Ford body at the moment or the Komodo tires and wheels. I like it just because it’s different and you don’t see a ton of them out on the rocks or trails. A nice charcoal grey wound lol good on that body. Looking forward to the driving review.👍🏼

I myself have a Redcat but I want more aftermarket support. So my next buy is going to be an scx10 builders kit

Thank you.

What weight shock oil do you suggest?

Just got a razorback and i love it . Threw a few stiffeners into the chassis , she works great . Have to agree on the shock springs though to heavy , shock oil was sketchy as well...

Sweet. Looking forward to 💯

Can you use a E Maxx motor and electronics on this truck?

Seems very good value 👍

Just been looking at these a few days ago ,looking forward to your thoughts.

Been looking at this kit. Glad you finally did a basic review of it. Thank you :) Does the rollbar not come with it?

Nice look into the Komodo.

Paint that baby Plum Crazy Purple. I know you folks at Rc review can combo at a sick paint scheme doing the color some JUSTICE!

Does it have portal axles

You want the rear stiff with little flex this is a good thing and they are paying attention. Helps with up hill side hill, up hill holes and undercuts.

I have a original G made komodo I love my truck all I did was put tires steering servo other than that the truck is been great to me

Military green or camo would be great color

If u like those tires u should look at there mt 1904 their even more aggressive and i think they r a little taller i think

Just adding a 👍 from here.

New to RC car hobby and love your videos. I have a couple of Tamiya buggies so far. I love the style of the "crawlers" over the buggy style cars BUT where I live I only have access to rough flat terrain. Of the Crawler style kits what do you think would be more suited for flat terrain with a good speed at least 20mph. I like the capra,bom,R1,gom,wraith etc

Check the shocks for oil at all as they might be empty. The chassis itself looks similar to the cheap knockoff scx-10 chassis on Aliexpress from companies like Injora, only difference is this one has a front panhard bar. Side trays, chassis rails and shock towers look very similar to the Injora. SCX10 sliders would probably be an exact fit. For the same price I would stick with the TRX-4 kit or go with the SCX-10ii builders kit. I would say this is a $225-$250 value at the most. Interested to see how you rate this one after some use, but no matter the results, its priced too high.

Looking forward to the drive video. You are a boss if you didn’t lose any e-clips. Heck I lost one building my TRX4 Sport Kit and it only has two. Considering another build and this looks fun. Also if looking for Gmade parts Hobby Recreation Products in Utah seems to be the highest stocking seller

Interesting axle position, great review po

Small screws and undersized bearings? I'll stick with Axial. Because of the high frequency noise of the portals, I'm not in love with the TRX Sport, even though it may technically be more capable than an Axial. My dream truck is a solid axle front and back with configureable diffs, but I'm not sure that exists..though someone in my F.B. crawler group suggested it could be found. Thanks for the extensive review

How much is ot

Looks great but I'm really not sold on the plastic links. How do think they will hold up?

I know its kinda off topic but what would be a nice shock upgrade for my TRX-4 sport? One of them is leaking so id like to just upgrade all four shocks. Suggestions??

You love crawlers!

Thanks for another great first look. I will keep an eye to see how it behaves when you take it for a ride. By the way, when I see those rigs in the back (I love the new set) I suffer because of the foam. Do you keep them always there like that?

When u getting a VS4-10 Ultra ?

hello ...question what kind of servo does it have ? are they any good?

Sorry I know this is a different vehicle but The gmade R1 looks so cool but in videos it looks way to lite weight to bite or the tires are hard... idk maybe the wheels just need weighted so it’s not so much like a cheap toy. I love the look and maybe it is as capable as the look and possibly the videos weren’t strictly rock like it’s intended. Now I’ll watch the vid and comment on the appropriate rc lol.

Looks like scx10.3

Looking at this for my first electric kit (always had nitro buggies in the past) how do you think this compares to the scx10.2? Great video by the way, I shall subscribe 👍

Is it the same as the rtr

Man for myself I could never picture buying this over at trx4 but Different Strokes for different folks I guess

I agree with dezfan. Charcoal gray. 🤔 But with jumbo flake.

what ever happened to worm drive diffs?

i see a LOT of scx 10.2 looking things

The truck looks to be a well made product but because of the little support for aftermarket parts l think it will be difficult to maintain, thus I think It is not a good buy.

Buy 2 for spare parts. 😁

The GS02 has many parts interchangeable with SCX10. Look in the forums.

Gmade hit it out of the park with this platform. I torture tested this rig. Tumbled it down a hill and dropped it off a 20 foot cliff. Haven't broken a single part. I run a Reedy Radon 2 5 slot 16 turn with a Hobbywing wp1080. Out performed a TRX-4 easily.

Orange marble with pearl white

Loke at www.ssd-rc.com/parts-for-gmade-bom-gs02.html Many ssd parts work on the gs-02 chassis and some Axial parts also.

I wanted to get the made piggy backs, but found they were 32$ for two, but not assembled was the kicker. Left a bad taste in my mouth for the as a company.

Need to show trucks closer cant see the truck at all axe against jacket

Nice review I’ll be Surprised if you don’t like driving this. The more I drive it the more it’s impressing me. The pumpkin gives you nice clearance. Here’s a link to main ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DnHUAxw3Yjc.html I like how the give you an empty box up front of the chassis to add some weights inside it

Waste of money. Keeps blowing the front pinion bearings, shocks are already leaking, rear chassis brace split. Some of the hardware is very poor quality and heads want to strip out easily. Trans binds when the center skid screws are properly tightened, bad design as the skid is half the transfer housing. One wheel already stripped the hex out, probably because the axle nuts don't support enough area on the outside of the wheel. also broke a shock mount. A TRX4 Sport kit is a no brainer here. You need the same components to finish the build, but in the end you are actually getting a usable rig that won't require repair immediately. If you only have $280 to play with buy a TRX 4 Sport kit, or save a little more for a Gen8 if RTR suits you. If you are limited to $280 total buy a Gen7 Sport and a couple batteries. I have had this rig for 3 weeks and have spent more time fixing it than I spent building it. Still waiting for more parts to fix it again. In 3+ years of pretty much complete neglect I have spent less than the G Made kit price to not only purchase my Gen7, but to upgrade diffs and trans gears. I'm actually NOT a Redcat fan, but they work and are durable enough to take some serious abuse crawling. The RGT 86100 was a much better buy than the Komode, that was $230 shipped RTR. I thought that was chintzy when I got it, the Komode is on a whole different (lower) level.

Sorry I see now my bad lol

한국 사람 ✋ 좀..

Uh, look its a KIA. Niiceee

Gmade..looks cheaply made.

I know a guy who said he designed the kamodo rc truck idk if he is full of shit but he had over 20 new in the box. He said he got 50 cars and $10,000 for the design. He gave me one and I sold it fast for $200. Any idea who Designed this ? Je said he just used a bunch of preexisting parts of other cars.
