| Re: Coming soon .....GMADE GOM-GR1 Rock Buggy
Well my son wanted to try a brushless setup in his GOM. So I decided to try the cheapest of the cheap and got a GoolRC F540 3000kv with 45amp esc for £26. I fitted it last night and put a 15t pinion on it. Its noticeably faster than his 20T on 3S, but it does cog ever so slightly, he isnt bothered as being 13 he managed to make wheelspeed work for him everywhere. I think that its the esc that is the limiting factor, so I may try and put an 80amp or greater in there next.....I think it should be faster than it is. But my experience of brushless is limited to Mamba Xs and castle motors...with the exception of a goolrc 3650 3800...albeit running off a castle sidewinder esc.

Its low ambient here so temp isnt too bad, but a bigger pinion will just cog more. Managed to break both GOMs today. on My sons the right handside dogbone somehow bent and snapped off the 2 ends...I have fixed it with my spare. Then 30 mins later the pins that run in the CVA on mine decided to break. The pin just cracked. This is the 2nd one that has done that and of course they are a funny size ( 11.4mm I think) so I dont have any spares as I used the only one in the pack. Thing is these things shouldnt be snapping so I have messaged RC Mart in the meantime. Any thoughts or ideas on replacement ? I can see some on Junfac but I would imagine they will come on the slow boat....sigh. Edit... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcCvlMHgqFo&t=45s Here is you can hear it ping at the end. Ordered some bits from Junfac anyway just incase...got some of those Shocks that RCANT showed us and some pins... Last edited by thewildblue77; 02-04-2018 at 01:09 PM. |

The spare snapped after 5 mins....bad batch maybe? His GOM is now RWD. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Last edited by thewildblue77; 02-13-2018 at 02:47 AM. |

| Re: Coming soon .....GMADE GOM-GR1 Rock Buggy Gmade 1/10 GR01 GOM Rockbuggy RTR (PRE-ORDER DATE Feb 5, 2018 ~ Feb 28, 201 - JunFac I just noticed This up on Junfac's site, RTR in the works Looks like its paired down a bit like usual, single speed, some plastic links replace some of the metal links Side note I just picked up a new Gom on Ebay for a decent discount. There's a guy auctioning them off one at a time, this one is a fresh untouched auction https://www.ebay.com/itm/GMA56000-Gm...IAAOSwZW5Z6iN3 EDIT: I just received the Gmade secondary shocks and they are indeed oil filled shocks.

Fitted the new Junfac additional shocks. Put on some praline wheels with some hybrid foams. Ci, Axial and proline combo.... The proline CI hybrids have gone into the original gmade wheels with some ripsaws. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk |

Took it out this afternoon to try out the shocks and the new cva pin snapped again...i must have dodgy cvas as this is now the 3rd pin on the offside. I've got 2 new sets of cvas coming just in case though. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk |

I wonder if they've designed the CVA's with the same 30 degree max the dogbones have? that would be a pretty big oversight | |

This time it popped in a straight line....though it was under power. I think that my "cup" on the end has worn or is slightly oversize which gives it play in the pin. I will see when the other ones arrive.

I'm considering stocking up on axles, my brother just broke a front axle, he's also bent a rear axle (where the pin goes through) I was curious if anyone had any idea what weight of shock oil was provided with the kit? Mine was not labeled so I opted to not use it, but it'd be nice to know what it might be for future use. |

I just noticed new C hubs on Junfac, so now they have a 10 degree caster version and a 20 degree version

Anyway, I'm trying to decide if I should order the HD gears from them with their expensive shipping or not. | |

I noticed RPP has a slow trickle of parts coming in, I'm waiting on them to stock some things. Though I wonder if demand was a bit low and kept them from diving in and fully stocking things or if its just not shipping out from Gmade? I guess I could ask them in their thread. And on the subject of caster, I know it should have an effect on steering I'm just not sure what, I'll do some research but fill me in if you know what more caster might do. EDIT: I did find a good thread to do a bit of research in RC Crawler Steering Last edited by HumboldtEF; 02-22-2018 at 07:54 PM. | |

I would be interested in titanium axle shafts. Still waiting on my CVA's, chinese new year has delayed everything somewhat. I think the shock is ~30WT judging by how it feels next to my Axial shocks on the same weight. Maybe slighty lower. |

Gmade sent me some new front axles (dog bone style) because my pins were coming out and I'm running a brushed 35 so it's pretty slow.But at least they came through.

| Re: Coming soon .....GMADE GOM-GR1 Rock Buggy So its a fault from Gmade then...the CVA pins need to be larger...I think they are 11.4mm, but trying to find 12mm pins that fit....well I struggled and failed...
