Gmade GOM GR01

BlackSeaRC presents the second video in a series featuring the Gmade GOM GR01 1:10 scale radio controlled rock buggy kit. In this video you can watch the step-by-step kit build and get useful hints and tips along the way. As well as showing the kit itself, the video also shows the ancillary aftermarket items required to enable this buggy to get up and running such as electric motor, Electronic Speed Controller (ESC), servo equipment, radio equipment, etc. Key suppliers I am using include Hobbywing, Holmes Hobbies, Savox and Spektrum. This video will be interesting if you are planning a rock buggy/rock racer build yourself or if you are simply interested in RC crawlers/off-road buggies and want to find out more about the not so commonly seen Gmade GOM.
If you want to see the GOM being unboxed and the preparation for the kit build, then please check the first video in this series at the following link:

In future videos in this series, BlackSeaRC shall present the next stages of the detailed kit build. This will include some upgrades and additional parts. Then the set-up of the GOM shall be demonstrated and not forgetting the most important part, the driving, where the buggy will be subjected to off-road testing. There shall also be upcoming ideas for customisation and features on upgrade parts.
The GOM, or “Bear” when translated from the Korean language, is a 4-wheel drive rock buggy inspired by the custom-built racers that compete in the annual “King of the Hammers” desert race in USA. Special features of the Gmade GOM include:
Full tube frame chassis for light weight but extreme rigidity and polycarbonate body panels (require painting).
4-wheel drive scale realistic driveline with metal bearings.
2-speed transmission including a gearbox, dual pad slipper clutch and a remote mounted transfer case. “High” gear is for high speed driving, “Low” gear is for rock crawling and the transfer case has a “Dig” function allowing the rear wheels to be locked for making tight turns in technical sections. These functions shall be controlled by a 3-position switch on the RC transmitter and a separate shift servo (not included in kit).
GA60 straight axles with reinforcement truss, multi link suspension and adjustable aeration heavy-duty oil-filled shock absorbers.
Chassis mounted steering servo (not included in kit) and "Hi steer zero Ackerman" knuckle arms for increased ground clearance and reduced turning circle.
2.2" MT-2202 off-road M/T tyres on GT02 beadlock wheels.
Forward mounted motor and battery (these items not included in kit) are positioned to give front weight balance to aid traction whilst climbing.
Detailed interior cockpit with racing bucket seats, gear levers and steering wheel.
This "GOM Kit" is Gmade part number 56000. There is also a "GOM Plus Kit" (GM56020) with a variety of upgrade parts included in the kit and a fully-assembled "RTR" Ready-To-Run version (GM56010).

If you are interested in buying this kit, I purchased mine from here: www.modelsport.co.uk/product/gmade-gom-gr01-110th-4wd-rock-crawler-kit-423177

Very nice assembly video 👍 looking forward to running 👌 my friend😆🤝

[@BlackSeaRC]

Thank you my friend! It was an unusual build for me because normally I am used to building off-road trucks with a ladder-frame type chassis. In those builds you tend to start with the chassis and you immediately see the proportions of the build. With this kit, you build all the sub-assemblies and for ages you just have a growing pile of parts but see no real progress with anything that resembles a vehicle. It is not until very late in the build that you start to assemble the tubular sections that make up the structure of the vehicle. As always though I enjoyed the build and look forward to the completion, set-up and then especially the off-road testing. I'm very keen to see how this buggy performs!

[@countrycrawlers4713]

Very detailed and interesting instructions! well done! 💯👌👍👍👍

[@BlackSeaRC]

The next part of the construction will be coming soon. I have already filmed it, I just need to edit everything together. This kit is a little unusual in that it takes quite a few build stages before you start to appreciate the scale of the vehicle. I also have another build project coming up, the Cross-RC PG4A. That is going to be an amazing truck judging from the parts!

[@NorthSeaRC]

Great build and I can't wait to see how it drives!

[@BlackSeaRC]

Thank you my friend! I'm keen to see how the 2-speed transmission will operate as I have read that it can be hard to set-up properly.

[@hwroadbeasts]

I don't know what to say beside keep up the good work , I don't really understand all of these, cuz I am still new to the hobby of rc cars , but let's see the result 😁

[@BlackSeaRC]

The components generally have a similar function to what you are familiar with, they are just at a higher level of complexity. In the next video in this series, you will see the buggy come together and that will enable you to appreciate it much better.

@@BlackSeaRC thank you , I will wait to See

[@bestdiyrussia7789]

Very interesting and detailed kit build. Do you have any other kit build projects coming up?

[@BlackSeaRC]

I still have to complete this Gmade GOM. Then I have my Cross-RC PG4A build that I need to finish. Plus, I have a couple of Tamiya kits under construction, a Buggy Champ and an XR311 which is going to be upgraded with metal parts. Because I have so many projects on the go, if I get any new vehicles this year, they will probably be RTR rather than kits (although I do fancy building a Tamiya BBX).

[@bestdiyrussia7789]

@@BlackSeaRC I would like to try building a kit but I have never built one before. What would you recommend for a good RC starter kit?

[@BlackSeaRC]

@@bestdiyrussia7789 I would take a look at the Tamiya RC product range. They have a wide range of kits of different types (e.g. off-road, on-road, buggy, monster truck, drift, truck, etc.). The best choice really depends upon the vehicle type you are looking for. With the kits you will need to separately buy the radio equipment, battery, charger, basic tools and paint. Therefore, don't spend your entire budget on the kit alone.
