I took mine out today for the first time...with that FTX 15T in...wasnt that impressed. My son has an identical setup GOM bar a HPi 540 20T motor. His was faster, climbed just the same and his battery lasted another 20 mins longer on the same route.... So Ive put an Axial 27T in there for now... |

Because I put a pickup truck cab on my GOM, I didn't use the stock body panels. They're up on ebay if anyone needs another body: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Gmade-GOM-c...oAAOSwhqhaRHws |

| Re: Coming soon .....GMADE GOM-GR1 Rock Buggy I just installed a CVA set from Gmade. Someone else had the stub axles bend due to what was reported as a skipped heat-treatment step at the factory, if I remember correctly. I've only ran mine once since installing, but no problems so far. The increased steering angle is a welcome improvement. As long as they hold up I will be very happy.

So now after a few sessions out both of our gearboxes are struggling to get into 2nd gear. Ive cleaned up the slider as best I can, but you still have to force it in by hand. I've ordered my son a stronger servo as his one is only 10kg vs my 20kg, as his is worse than mine for going into 2nd. I've also posted on the Gmade facebook page about it...thought it couldn't hurt...asking if maybe they can supply a rubber a boot or have a recommendation to sort this. I may try and remove the servo saver and give it a try....has anyone done this ? At this rate I will just make it a single speed and not have the hassle...shame really. I may put my mamba X + 3800 from my bomber in and make use of 1 gear. Or even a brushed on 4S. |

Curious if anyone has installed Proline tires on the stock GOM wheels I was thinking of Hyrax tires.

I recall when I had a servo saver on my Wraith 2 speed it was pretty spotty with shifting, I later took out the servo saver and after resetting the end points it became much more reliable As for the rubber boot, does anyone 3D print? there are flexible filiments that may be usefull in creating a shift linkage boot I dont see anything | ||

Pics and links for hardened steel gears ? I would be interested in these... Well I got a 20KG servo coming for my sons gom, so when that arrives I will remove the servo saver and do end points. You can see the saver has too much give in it when trying to go backwards and forwards. No response as yet on facebook, so I also messaged them on instagram. Maybe if a few of us message they might take more notice. You cant post directly so Ive just put the same comment twice on 2 different posts. Fill yer boots ! https://www.facebook.com/gmade.net/ |

They look good. I would be happier running brushless through these, though until I know the gearbox can be sorted ( When I can face the strip down and servo replacement etc) I will hold off....

say your FB post - and here. Do you think its a servo issue or an issue with the springs on the shafts - ther'es a post earlier oand on other forums about adding gromets and shims to "strengthen" the spring. Trying to clear the rebuild of my Wraith before starting on the GOM - hope I haven't got a duffer as some seem to have. be nice to incorporate fixes during the build rather than post |
