The truck looks interesting, there is a lot packed into that chassis.

The scale drivetrain layout and full interior are really cool features. The 2 speed offers a really good ratio split for speed and crawling (though I could do without the dig). It seems to check a lot of boxes for a fun, all-around truck.

There is one thing that is absolutely awful about this truck and that is the name. GOM sounds more like a bacterial infection than a kick-ass rock buggy. I hope Gmade never intended for anyone to actually refer to this as the GOM. You friends will think you're dying of kidney failure when you tell them you got one.

I'm not familiar with GOM. When I see GOM I think Grom, Honda Grom. Another fun toy.

Yeah the name is kinda weird

I'm not the kind of guy to be hyped by a new model, but damn I want one

[MSH]

use GR01 instead.

[Correll]

I need one, straight rip off of the bomber tho!

Aluminum Balls...

[Jeepiac]

Danggit, I don't have a wife to hide this from. Guess when it's released, I'll just have to order it and display it on my coffee table

I like the look of this truck. The axles look like they are Axial compatible but I will confirm when I get my hands on one. If they are then the SSD D60 centered rear should be a direct fit.

$340 for that kit is too much IMO. I haven't seen lots of metal upgrades or things like that included with the kit to justify that price. And it's GMade which, unfortunately, doesn't get as much love as Axial and Vaterra even though they deserve it. You can't price your products like you're the industry leader if you're not. You won't sell many. I see this price dropping. I'll wait.

I'm not in the same boat. After owning and beating my R1, G Made surprised me. Outside of the shocks, tires and wheels everything else was solid . Never broke a gear or bent any links. Driveshaft uni was weak , I beat it on 3s . This has a chassis servo/panhard setup, and the video was impressive

I love my GMade products too. They really don't get the credit or reputation they deserve especially on the durability part like you mentioned. But for a similar price you can get a very well equipped Bomber kit. This thing still seems to have plastic gears and plastic trailing arms.

[mikemcE]

Not sure about any Gmade gear issues , plastic or cast.
As far as plastic arms go, sorta like axial rtr Yeti arms? The chassis mount servo is different than a bomber ? Optional on Wraiths
