Gmade Komodo GS02 Review 

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"...

Right on. This is why we do what we do. It’s cool to make little discoveries like this.

Thank you. We learned something too so we are pleased.

Same here. If it wasn't our channel to focus on crawlers, we would have never bought this. Thankful for the opportunity and discovery.

it's the best policy.

Yes!!!!!!!! Great vehicles deserve great upgrades.

@@RCReviewChannel Getting one for my brother thanks to your review LOL Thanks again RC Review!

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

Yes, it has very good construction in manufacturing.

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.

It really surprised us. It has counter rotating drive shaft which gives it Less torque twist

That’s right. You might have to set that up

Would love to hear your experience. Obviously need better tires.

right on, appreciate that.

We save you money so you can spend more money. More smiles for miles

@@RCReviewChannel 😂😂😂😂

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.

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.

I guess I should not buy the GS01 if both are available then?

You can change the wheel base to fit other bodies

Small marketing and distribution and aftermarket in the US.

Yeah... How do you think they'd both compare? Trx Sport

Right. We’re lucky to have choices but it’s getting tougher and tougher.

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.

stubby is a beast!!

@@RCReviewChannel which foam did you guys use for the hyrax ?

Jordan McLaughlin sure but if the Komodo I’d switch those too

Heavier wheels will help.

I think it is an upgraded version, not the same such as BOM GS02. There's a video that esplains that, serach on RU-vid, 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 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m6D7O_8tk_I.html

now providing upgraded parts.. no problem at all😀😁

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

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe it was in ROCKland hahaha

@@juddroberts2454 its Linda Vista i believe

This one. The Jeep Cherokee is so dated and a bit flimsy. But as far as upgradeability or modding, nothing beats an Axial

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.

Yes it does. The key to making it happen is it requires leaf springs.

We'll take it out again.

Yeah, maybe a new shootout is in order.

for sure.

Yes, 12.3"

Yeah I went with the sport. Several options near this price range that are proven. But this looks solid.

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.

Gmade steel beadlocks

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.

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!!

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!

Thank you I will check on that.

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.

opo.

right on.

That's some fine trivia right there.
