Gmade GS02 Buffalo Pickup rc truck - realistic performer

[@jesseratliffsr.4368]

Literally went and bought a few different rc a few weeks back because of your videos. If I need to know about a specific rc I look up rc review. 👍

[@gonoslowr]

I did the same. I wanted a mini crawler and he just did the Rochobby Fire Horse and I felt like he answered all my questions and the unbiased runs are such a great help.

[@rkd350z]

I just started GS02F blazer build today WhhhA! Already got the copperhead/pullerpro v2 2700kv set up and programmed to hit the trail.. This was supposdly an early Xmas present to myself. Oh I might need another present lol

[@crawlmania]

I got the first Military Buffaloo. After swapping to Axial springs I found the shock to be a lot better!

[@oldironsfury]

Gmade is way under rated in the USA I believe a Korean brand not Chinese if that matters to people. Your axial and traxxas are more likely made in China lol anyway . Offset front axle way before others offered it . Scale awesomeness and they perform . Drive pins loosen up so put some thread lock on them . That’s it tho, go have fun on the trails and rocks ! As usual awesome job Francis Take care !

[@mitsuman5555]

Completely agree. Also Gmade is one of the few RC brands that didn't jack their prices up this year.

[@RCReviewChannel]

good input there!

[@sps-vf4qq]

Traxxas is taiwan

[@SnarkyRC]

Yeah ever since Horizon bought Axial, they're all made in China. I've been into Gmade since the beginning.

[@byronwins1034]

I bought the Komodo double cab kit and I love the truck.

[@JCHKeys]

Thanks for reviewing it. I was really interested in the ‘pickup’ version, but I really want those 1904 tires from the SUV version.

[@warpspeed9.985]

I have the BOM and Buffalo kits. The BOM is the new version with the 2 speed also. Great builds. My 2 cents....... Great rigs!! My only complaint is lack of aftermarket and the shocks a garbage. I tried 80wt and they just don't have any damping. I put gen8 shocks on mine . major improvement. SCX10II brass knuckles bolt right up on these too!! But that's about it. Also, I haven't had any problems but people on FB groups have recommended to me not to go brushless with these kits. I think the long shaft in the transmission likes to break if you over power it. ( I have 1080's and a 10t crawl master in one and a 21t trail master in the other). No problems so far. PS. The pickup looks great!!! Too bad they didn't include the 1904's in that kit. Those are great tires. Some of the best. Great video!! Always enjoy your content

[@warpspeed9.985]

@@themountain59 . sorry sir. Poor choice of words on my part. They do have "some" dampening but are still way to fast. I didn't assemble them wrong......for sure.

[@josecanseca8979]

@@themountain59 maple syrup...he needs like 10wt or 20wt..not 80 thats why theres no movement...i hear wayyy to many negative stories on gmade so im just nervous to buy one...

[@pauls1816]

More companies need to come out with square body trucks. Def looking at this after I get a knightrunner

[@jettthomas9453]

The first Buffalo had me 2nd guessing now I'm definitely considering atleast the body

[@byronwins1034]

I built and run the Komodo double cab and was very pleasantly surprised on the quality.

[@newfie_miata]

Don't even need to watch to know this will be a great video

[@276rclife6]

Man thats a good looking truck I've always loved the square body chevys..nice to see someone building them. If they had more of an aftermarket for them they would deff be one of the top trucks out there. The lights look insanely bright. Great review as always.

[@thor_4017]

How many aftermarket parts do you really need on a crawler? I got injora scx10 II brass knuckles on mine, gmade steel link kit, aluminum servo horn, gmade sr03 steel wheels, injora tpe dual foam. I'm already 100 times more pleased with it than my upgraded 2014 scx10. I haven't broken anything after driving it 8-10hours. I've heard about two KZbinrs breaking the front axle pinion and bevel gear. One of the KZbinrs used 4s battery and slipper clutch tightened all the way. That's probably the only thing this could need an aftermarket opinion for. Stock bevel gear and pinion is only 12-13$. You can also reduce stress on front axle by removing the overdrive. Torque twist will also be reduced. I used dremel on stock plastic c-hub to increase steering past 45°. Steering radius is amazing in both directions.

[@276rclife6]

@@thor_4017 well just going by what he said about not much support for it here in the US. It sounds like there is enough to take care of all your needs.

[@thor_4017]

@@276rclife6 if you google ssd gs02 knuckles you'll find ssd has aluminum knuckles in two colors with available brass weights. You also get ssd 70gr heavy brass knuckles, and aluminum scx10 II front shock tower. Junfac has a lot of oem aluminum upgrades for gs02 and gs02f.

[@ezboyrc553]

Great video like always. Your videos have taught me a lot even though with a lot of cars I can't afford at least I know they're good or not but the crawlers I have got that you have did reviews on your dead accurate On your review. So thanks and keep the good reviews coming I love watching them. I have a small channel check it out if you don't mind it's Nothing like yours but I could use your support.

[@SnarkyRC]

Hell yeah. One of my favorite crawler chassis. Gmade makes some good shit. Best part is they're compatible with SCX10 II aftermarket parts.

[@kattmandu]

Hi Francis, would you recommend this Gmade GS02 Buffalo kit, the Traxxas TRX-4 Sport kit, or the Axial SCX10 III kit for building a trail runner?

[@kattmandu]

@@themountain59 yeah, I posted my question right before the reveal of the Phoenix. The Phoenix immediately spring to the top of my list.

[@kattmandu]

@@themountain59 yeah, I’m holding off for now. Honestly, I would buy a TRX-4 (non-Sport) if they offered it as a kit. I prefer building and like the idea of a two-speed gearbox and a servo-controlled diff locker.

[@fiveeight0sixsix]

Biggest issue with the suspension on these is the springs. Much too stiff IMHO. I've gone to an Element Grey spring on my Komodo (originally a BOM). All of a sudden the damping doesn't seem so bad and the truck actually rides the rocks rather than bouncing around on them. There's a lot to like about the GMade trucks, good to see you adding this one to your collection!

[@dustinrossi9384]

Love the track, truck looks pretty sweet, been looking at gmade for a little while now.. eventually.

[@corabbring8198]

Nice pick-up body. Like the white color!

[@andrewsumner5388]

I like this new truck but I still like my TRX-4 Better!!! Good to know parts are available at A-Main Hobby tho💪🏽

[@jeffbrundt7740]

Just stumbled across this truck by chance. Had not heard of GMade before. But I definitely like it and the price point is acceptable for what you're getting. Only addition I would like is to have a roll bar. But I can design one and 3D print that myself.

[@517rctrailcrawling]

So awesome! I just picked up a gmade Buffalo from a buddy today haven’t even ran it yet but excited! Thanks for the video.😁

Hey I have a question; does the pan hard shock tower from this model work on the gs01 Komodo?

[@dustineputtaert5792]

Can I ask do the gmade gs02f kit come with bushes or bearing's Many thanks

[@TrueToad]

A few years ago I would build a custom truck and be into it at 1K$, now so many options at less than half the cost. Nice Truck!.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Totally agree!

[@benchilders1183]

Which crawler kit would you recommend for someone with advanced mechanical abilities? I would like to do a realistic scale body in the future as well

[@DoctorZSwarner]

Would adding weights to the chassis and / or the body help with the bounce and grip?

[@aalmuhairi]

am owner of trx6, planning to get my 13y kid a crawler. that can enjoy trailing it too. what you recommend.

[@taylormade710]

nice looking truck, something to add to my bucket list.. A-main is out of stock.. how do you compare this truck to cross RC?

[@PilotRyanMedia]

What would you do to the shocks? Do you like travel all the way up to the fender?

[@RCReviewChannel]

I'll go with trx4 shocks and maybe go with 10mm shorter shocks and test.

[@RC4X4]

Awesome info on the new Buffalo Pick Up. Can't wait to get mine.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Right on! Good to hear

[@insanemadmanroom2299]

[@tompaull3214]

I like the look of this model. Is GMADE well supported in the USA? Replacement parts? How is 3rd party support?

[@RCReviewChannel]

The GS02 and GS02F use the same aftermarket parts as the SCX10 II. SSD makes awesome parts for it.

[@kyleparker40]

Maybe adjusting the rear pinon angle will help stop the hopping

[@roblowrie1969]

I love Gmade cars, but, and having owned an R1, they always seem to have issues with the suspension! I had to do loads to the R1 to get it to flex and droop. Got it in the end, but I don't understand why a car would go out like that!?! 🤷🏻‍♂️
