It is another pause inducer...

Its not that its begging for a brushless i just love my mamba slate combo and would be using that. Hopefully it get some upgrades like the GOM and not shafted like the GS01 chassis. It will be interesting to see how that driveshaft benefit/hurts this rig. I love how it comes stock with what looks to be better gears then the pop can aluminum ones from the GS01 chassis as well

Up for pre order from NA sources with free shipping now too...making it harder not to mash a SUBMIT button.

What an appropriate name for a button that symbolizes a loss of restraint and discipline.

Don't forget that 10% off coupon from RPP that still works on Gmade kits.

Did you really have something better to spend $297 on? Just go ahead and give in.

Im just curious to wait and see if rcmart is going to do the same with the bom that they did with the gom and release a bunch of upgrades with it free. Usually they sell the same model with different options

I'm waiting to see the right deal on this as well. RPP still comes out to full price for me after tax.

It's been approximately 20 minutes since this post, congratulations on your likely recently completed purchase.

I expect a build thread shortly following delivery.

Still holding out...need to check if I need a rx. Man, that's a chunk of change at one shot!

Half the price of a VS4-10 kit alone though....

So heres an interesting thing i noticed. It looks like the hubs and knuckles are the same on both the gom and the bom... Now we just need to figure out these drivshafts lol

Hahahaha look what i found there definitely lots to talk about now! Like how the skid plat acts as the bottom half of the transfer case? Driveshafts seem to be built in to the axles? 45t spur with 13t pinion stock thats fairly low if im not mistaken? Cvds look solid (forgot that pic sorry)
Let the discussion begin!

It's definitely going to be a build it, drive it and forget it platform. I have yet to have either of my other Gmade rigs apart for any reason...they just work, and upgrading parts was never really on the agenda for me. I expect this will be a similar situation, provided everything works as it should.

To be sure there's some obvious cost-outs...not historically a huge deal if engineered properly, which Gmade seems fairly proficient at.

That may be why ONLY gmade makes parts for them. And my komodo was tough as hell even with those weird trans gears

That was entertaining! That person drives like my GF...wheels up, wheels down, it's all good lol.

Must be brushless the way they launched off the ledge near the beginning.

Seems to be tough anyway, that's encouraging.

I'm just really anxious to get it. I like the build process more than driving, I think...this is the first time I've pre-ordered a kit and I think it's going to have to be the last!
