Default G-Made re-releases the R1!

Now called the Stealth and marketed as a "crawler".

I always thought they looked pretty cool!

Yup.

I liked the look of that thing too.

Like something out of an Alien or Terminator movie.

Dez, are you ditching the Pimp Cane for a Gmade?

What makes you say that?

I simply commented on the fact that I like the Stealth's (R1) look.

Because that's the only trans axle truck I like so I was hoping you'd get one and take it to comps so I could see if it's worth the $.

What are you talking about? I actually like the Gmade Spider/R1. I've I was hoping that somebody who competes a lot would try one out so I could get a professional opinion.

How would you classify the chassis?
Would it be a tuber? (I know its not tubing).
That would be too bad if you had to run a body at a comp.

I am going to sound like a noob asking this question, BUT how the hell does that thing work??? Is it just 100% droop suspension? I see what I think is shock mounts. Is it just not complete in the pics? Also what axles do they have on that truck or is it their own??

It's posed w/o shocks, watch this and it will answer your questions.

well, as long as it meets the size requirements, all i bet you would have to do to get it legit for comps is produce a lexan roof and hood panel.

and, i also wonder if that re-release comes with the g-made axles this time? i am always suprised that an american distributer never got to selling at least just the g-made axles.

go here if you want to buy one:
