Thank you very much for this great review :) great to have your experience comparing it to the competition, really looking forward to the shoot-out 😎hope you're having a good one
I've got two Gmade rigs. The Sawback does ok as a leafer and my BOM with some weight and some HYRAX tires can hold it's own. Looking forward to seeing more from you.Enjoy your videos, thanks.
Great videos like this are why u are growing so fast Francis!!! Ur the only one that goes over a vehicle in detail and gives honest plus/minus for the better of the hobbyists and consumers! Love these style of videos, and glad to see so many others do also😁👍. Have a great day my friend. God bless and congrats on rc reviews success, well earned! ✌️
The motor mounts onto an indexed plate - set the motor using the holes that correspond to the number of teeth on the pinion, then the motor, with the attached plate, goes into the transmission and rotates just until it meets the bolt hole (which has a captive nut). I've not explained it well, but it means you don't have to worry about setting the mesh point. For me, I'm only interested in kits - I get the most pleasure out of building it. I've been really impressed with this - a thoroughly enjoyable kit to build with great instructions. My only experience before has been Tamiyas. Looking for a monster truck kit next... Great videos, thank you!
Sir , that’s so hard to believe that that is not licensed by Chevrolet! It definitely looks legit! I love it! And I’m not even a Chevy guy! You have an amazing collection and channel!
Hi FRANCIS!! REALLY enjoying your vids. I think GMADE its already RAISING THE BAR, improving its products. That "CHEVY" got a LOT of potential. Cant wait for your mods. Keep up the GOOD WORK. Till Next time, saying HI! form PUERTO RICO!!
I liked it from the shootout video. The assembly is my only concern, with the limited free time I have to crawl I don't know of I want to get into an assembly as described.
The plain steel gmade wheels are awesome. I've had them on my scx10 since 2015. My tires are perfectly air tight and the weight is good. I did use a tiny drop of blue locktite on every screw.
Thank you so much for your reviews. I am brand new to the hobby and your videos have really provided a lot of guidance. I just purchased a Gen8 V2. I know you have done a lot of videos on the Gen8. Can you please make one on the Gen8 V2. I would really like to know what you think of it and what mods to make. Thanks.
Gmade is also re-releasing the BOM with the same GS02F chassis. I think that one with the rear cage is super interesting. The new Element HD rear cage looks really goofy, but the new BOM rear cage looks great
@@RCReviewChannel I liked my Element but at the end of the day it’s really just an SCX10II with a slightly smoother tranny and better shocks. The IFS is a joke because it has zero ground clearance. Gmade seems to have some good engineers on their staff. It’s also amazing that in less than 2years they recognized their original GS02 was flawed and fixed it with the TS and now they have the GSO2F which seems really capable. Horizon and Traxxas take 5+ years to make changes like that
I don't go with black much because it shows all the dust and dirt very easy so it's not good for shelf queens🙄🙂 I really like the style of body though 👍
Full time Job? We thought you and your son (who is not your son - we have learned that in the last video) are crawling all day in the sun on some rocks :) Thanks for your videos
I want to see the jumps!! Hahaha. It's a nice car, I got one too. You didn't say anything about the foams but in my kit (the military version too) they were cut in a half. It really surprised me. Anyway, really nice video. This is why you keep growing!
I just finished building the same Gmade buffalo military as yours, and I also purchased the hobbywing 1080 esc, with a holmes hobbies motor. My question to you is, how did you solder the wires from the esc to the motor? The wires are too short on the esc to reach the motor. Also on the motor, how can I tell which side is positive and negative?
Love your channel and your honest takes. I only have one question. How are the axles. Gmade sells them separate and was curious if I should pick them up for a build
Hey Francis, rather than the TRX4 or the Cross RC, wouldn't it be a better contender against up more scale type competition, such as BRX01 on the Boom Racing LC70 body, or even the RC4WD Trail Finder 2 on the BTTF '87 Hilux body? Those 4.1 tires and no weights look like are going to kill all of its chances against more hardcore contenders, but might be a better contender in a less extreme performer context. PS: for a lexan, the body looks at least as good as that crazy expensive Traxxas Blazer, which barely makes me yearn for a hardbody for the full scale look.
Are those racerstar 46kg servos waterproof? Info is limited.....Basically doesn't say it's waterproof so assume it's not waterproof? The JX versions you have reviewed look identical in black and are spec'd waterproof in the descriptions! Cheers
are you gonna review the redcat clawback 1/5 crawler on your channel some day? what’s your opinions on it? I really like the idea if a bigger crawler, could open up crawl spots that may have not been possible with my trx4. thinking about either grabbing that or a trx6 as a second crawler just for fun. thanks!
Have Gmade GOM and not impressed with quality and torque twist of the model. Buffalo seems like same torque twist issue even on a new chassis. Body on Buffalo looks better than the other two. Thanks for video
Great video. I'm almost done with my Buffalo, just needs painted. I've noticed body roll when I drive it. Why do you think it rolls side to side when going forward or reverse. I have the shocks adjusted about a quarter inch pre load on the springs.
YesSiRr!! 3 different companies...but still the same Awesome looking Machine! YesSiRr!!.Great JoB wit de Reviews Mate!! 👍👊👌😎! And yes..theres always a Method to the MadNess!! LoL!! CheeRz 4 de tiPz & tRickz..alwayz appreciated Mate..and YesSiR.. U get wat you pay foR!! 😎😭😭
@@RCReviewChannel I just wonder if that decision would change if you use the steel beadlocks and tires from the Cross Emo and the taller tires and give them both the weight in the wheels??
Can someone pleaseeeee bring light to this 2 speed issue! So many users have their gmade Buffalo locked in 1st gear due to the binding happening in 2nd! Can you please post about this?
Nice videos, which I like very much --- Sincerely I ask that you dont use the LORD's NAME as an exclamation? (This will cause me to unsubscribe if it continues)
Found it, it was in stock, I bought it solely based on your review. Looks cool.
i have the Gmade Buffalo with the hobbywing quicrun fusion 1200kv in it looks good and runs good as well i am happy to have one
I have the same setup ,quite impressed with it.

Gmade stepped their game so much I had to up my game too. :)
Can't wait for the shoot out!

I worked on the army version of this when I was in military, real one
Great review as usual sir. Get some Gmade plain steelie wheels and some steel slider and that should help a lot.👍🏼
The plain steel gmade wheels are awesome. I've had them on my scx10 since 2015. My tires are perfectly air tight and the weight is good. I did use a tiny drop of blue locktite on every screw.
That cross is definitely a Bronco.
needs some weight in front when i added weight it made a big difference and change them stiff springs

Element RC seems lost. How many now.... 14 versions of the same car? They started out well but keep milking that chassis.

Love to watch all of your videos , thanks sir ! 😎🤙🏻👍🏻💯
Looks great! A little weight down low and I bet it'll be amazing. I might have to get one.
Just heavy wheels.... lower gearing and that 2 speed will take car of it i hope.

Gmade Buffalo 👍😊👍

Gmade Buffalo....looks great....that Cross Rc looks more like a Bronco🤔.....but great video....👍👍👍
super you do a wonderful job, you help us who have as a hobby rc car, respect. You plan to make a video about rc amewi rock rcx 10? thank you

Nice Broncrolet, but a bit stiff on the springage.
Awesome love your channel
Thanks so much!
Is the Gmade 313mm wheel base. I like that body with the flares more than the Traxxas K5. I'll put the Gmade on my TRX4.
are you gonna review the redcat clawback 1/5 crawler on your channel some day? what’s your opinions on it? I really like the idea if a bigger crawler, could open up crawl spots that may have not been possible with my trx4. thinking about either grabbing that or a trx6 as a second crawler just for fun. thanks!
Looks pretty cool but the drivetrain sounds crunchy a little.
Have Gmade GOM and not impressed with quality and torque twist of the model. Buffalo seems like same torque twist issue even on a new chassis. Body on Buffalo looks better than the other two.
Thanks for video
Don't the inverted driveshafts take care of the torque twist?
I love it. my next truck!!! Great video!!!!
Thanks for nice review.
Right on. You from Korea? Homeland of Gmade?
Great video. I'm almost done with my Buffalo, just needs painted. I've noticed body roll when I drive it. Why do you think it rolls side to side when going forward or reverse. I have the shocks adjusted about a quarter inch pre load on the springs.
because of overdrive...it'll be much better if you take non overdrive gear.
Digging on the Buffalo.
Hey, I have no drivetrain play whatsoever on my Axial SCX10.2 Trail Honcho - now is that good or bad?
YesSiRr!! 3 different companies...but still the same Awesome looking Machine! YesSiRr!!.Great JoB wit de Reviews Mate!! 👍👊👌😎! And yes..theres always a Method to the MadNess!! LoL!! CheeRz 4 de tiPz & tRickz..alwayz appreciated Mate..and YesSiR.. U get wat you pay foR!! 😎😭😭
The one on the left looks like a bronco with a chevy grill, not a blazer.
I was just thinking about angling the pumpkin on my FMS FCX K5 BLAZER, I LIFTED IT AND HAS a really Badd angle 😕
I Love the Gmade 🥰
Nice 👍 video
Nice 👍 trucks 🤩🤩🤩
The cross version looks like a bronco with a chevy grill. Call it a Bronco not a blazer. Love your videos by the way
Francis, Gmade
Military Buffalo or Cross Rc EMO Blazer. If you can have only one, which shall you take? Thanks
Cross RC.
@@RCReviewChannel I just wonder if that decision would change if you use the steel beadlocks and tires from the Cross Emo and the taller tires and give them both the weight in the wheels??
Can someone pleaseeeee bring light to this 2 speed issue! So many users have their gmade Buffalo locked in 1st gear due to the binding happening in 2nd! Can you please post about this?
Where can I direct message you? So many questions.
Does this truck come with everything you need so you just have to assembly it or do you have to get batteries and servo and motors
You need the esc, motor, servo, batterie, receiver and remote. There is no electronic with the kit
also you need to paint the body. it comes clear. I want this kit so bad!
Is this hard body or Lexan?
I want to try a GMade. Komodo or Buffalo?
Gmade❤😎
4:17 where can you buy thoese tires and rims please?
Does it come with electronic stuff
I think some 3 to 5 year olds should drive them and see which one lasts.
I think it's nice👍😎
Axial Bomber vs Axial Capra?
Hi, pity there are no portal axle....
its a bronzerco
The Cross looks 1/8 compared to the others lol
The windows on the cross rc look like CRAP. Weak
Good video but I can’t stand these non licensed fake looking trucks. But you get what you pay for
Nice videos, which I like very much --- Sincerely I ask that you dont use the LORD's NAME as an exclamation? (This will cause me to unsubscribe if it continues)
Now I know why he always acts surprised. Because he doesn’t build anything himself.
I’m OUT.
