Thank you for reviewing the GMADE Buffalo truck! I’m going to Korea next year to visit my family and planning to grab the kit there and bring it back to the state. I’m a Traxxas guy, but trying the brand from my home country will be awesome!

[@rcdriver]

Cool story. I’m sure you’ll like the kit. Have a great trip!

[@BlueDually4x4]

Every video I see of this truck I like it more and more.

[@redwolfrc1.14]

Beautiful color choices. And great video bro. I love it💯👍💪👊😎

[@westdesertwheeler]

Awesome video as always!

[@brianmassey7563]

I've been running a GSO2 BOM (pro kit with option parts) for almost a year now (with the cantilever) and I love it. I'm in MI and always getting asked "What is that?". The GSO2 and F platforms are really good trail trucks, that with a little mod, can be a potent class 2 or 2.5 rig. Kudos for the review!

[@derricksazrc3411]

Man that thing is purty and capable. I like the Holmes hobbies addition.

[@lualrosaal]

I own the Gmade Komodo Double Cab and BOM. Built both from kits and they are excellent rigs. its worth to mention that the tires are very very good, have excellent grip. Great quality product. Wish I had seen your video before ordering the Buffalo Pick-up from Amain, that way I could have order on your link. Great channel two thumbs up

[@riffraffsrc]

Great video Greg! I'd absolutely add one to my collection, Gmade makes some great kits. I have the Gmade komodo double cab and it's my favorite crawler that I own! They are very underrated! 💯🤜🤛🔥🔥⚡🙏

[@rcdriver]

Nice! I still want to try the Komodo. Looks pretty cool.

[@xMadeInAmerica]

I think these look sooo sick !

[@jeffreykeagy3183]

Awesome color choice Greg. Cobalt green is my favorite color from Tamiya's line-up!

[@tobyhall8198]

Great color!!! Painted my daughter's Big foot body same color!!! Good review been eyeing one of those for myself.

[@qrisemrc]

It's an interesting Rock Crawling rc. I should consider purchasing.👍

[@vbspeed7571]

Hello from V&b speed a new rc community channel. Grate videos the quality is grate

[@rrrccc1571]

Looks great in that colour!

[@johnboy6955]

Oh btw you done a great job putting together and painting that body it looks great. Great vid well done 👍

[@surfside75]

What a beautiful rig youve built🥇, especially like the racing stripe on the bed🔥

[@rcdriver]

Thanks, that is actually the side stripe decals that come with the kit, I just used them in a different way.

[@sgrandmasterj]

Looks good. Another great video. I’m definitely interested in picking one up.

[@chainsaw7887]

Almost finished building the gmade buffalo military kit. Can't wait to drive it

[@rcdriver]

Awesome! Have fun with it!

[@lualrosaal]

I am finishing a Buffalo pick-up right now. Noticed in your video that you had put a small spacer on the 2 speed shifter on the tranny. That was a God send for me. Mine was binding a bit, after I added a spacer on the arm (like yours) now it shifts great! Sad to report that I did not get the bonus parts. This is my third Gmade (have the Komodo and BOM) and I love them very capable and well built. The springs are a bit harder than I would like but an easy fix. They perform better (in my experience) than the Axial SCX III JEEP Wrangler and Classic Bronco that I have. Great video and RC source in general

[@ethanmoore8157]

Can someone pleaseeeee bring light to this 2 speed issue! So many users have their gmade Buffalo locked in 1st gear due to the binding happening in 2nd! Can you please post about this?

[@lualrosaal]

@@ethanmoore8157 at around 5:45 time on the video he is talking about the 2speed tranny. You can see a bit of a shinny spacer between the shaft that comes out of the tranny and the arm from the servo. That looked to me like a small spacer. I put a 3mm spacer (from a Tamiya shock absorver kit)there on mine with a longer bolt to compensate. That way the the shaft is straight and does not bind. Works like a charm!! Hope this helps and works for you.

[@chrismorgan9290]

Good looking truck

[@Proscalecrawler]

Luv the color

[@n22pdf]

Looks awesome great build

[@insanemadmanroom2299]

nice build looks good

[@alanhafer828]

Love your channel Greg. Awesome content great videos. I built the gmade Buffalo. I'm thinking of getting this one as well. 👍

[@rcdriver]

Awesome! Enjoy it

[@saturnfivehynrgrc581]

Greg Good info and nice video. The front diff pumpkin is on the correct side for a GM product. I'll have to give Gmade a second look. Again, nice work Greg always nice to visit your channel and get your opinions on RC.

[@rcdriver]

Certainly worthy of a look. Thank you for watching!

[@saturnfivehynrgrc581]

@@rcdriver No problem, anytime!!!

[@codyhoops1019]

I have a gsf02 blazer. Rtr. I have only had 1 problem. The motor and esc. Swapped out for hh trail master and hw 1080. I feel like there is an issue that can be fixed. My shift servo moving a ton. It wants to bend the plastic below it and sometimes takes a few presses of the button to shift. I love it though. Change the tires to something more grippy until they produce better compound. I know they have improved over the years but not good enough imo.

[@cohensherrill3140]

I love the color! Wish I could afford one of these.

[@benjamincloutiermainerc]

I'd love to try it myself maybe I'll save up and see if I can find one

[@CoachD386]

🔥💯 Nice rig

[@whistlinlipo]

Parts trees are the worst part of kits for me But that color is so nice!

[@rcdriver]

Cutting parts off a tree with Tamiya side-cutters is soooo satisfying 😊

[@elaishavelasco767]

Rc cars are so cool! I've been dreaming to have one even the preloved but still can't afford it 😩

[@SolRayz]

I wonder if I could get those fender flares to fit on my Sendero.

[@TheGeneticHunters]

They seem to have a solid platform

[@venom4entertainment]

Hey, fantastic job and brilliant szenes. Whats the Name of the awesome beat in the middle?

[@DoubleADay]

I just got my kit yesterday. I already ordered stainless link kit and steering links for it along with the led kit for body and bumper. I also ordered the non-overdrive gears for it. No roof rack for me as I plan to make it look like my full size 84 GMC swb I own. Any ideas where to find a rollbar for the bed?

[@krewkab5451]

Just out of curiosity what's the parts tree number for the body mounting system I really like that idea

[@purplelegorc2170]

So hard trying to decide if I should get 🤔

[@Socalnik66]

Beautiful truck. Really jealous of the color. Wish I used that color on my freshly painted Phoenix. What color was it? Tamiya? Also, you have some of the most detailed reviews of rc’s out there. Really appreciate the work you put in to inform and entertain us fans.

[@rcdriver]

Tamiya PS-54 Cobalt Green, the more I look at it, the more I like it.

[@Socalnik66]

@@rcdriver thanks for the reply. When Vanquish starts selling replacement bodies for the Phoenix, I’ll have to use that color

[@johnboy6955]

I’m gonna get one of these trucks I really like the looks of it. But I wanna get a vanquish Phoenix first.

[@rcdriver]

That Phoenix does look sweet. Have fun with whatever you choose first!

[@edsadventures3575]

How many teeth for spur and pinion gears are they? I’ve ordered the buffalo and impatiently waiting for it… I bought a 1080esc and I have a 21t torque master pro Holmes hobbie motor.

[@davidhazelden2054]

They r grate trucks iv got the komodo n buffalo it’s better than the axial trucks n can tell the difrence btween low n high gears they got it rite with the gs02f kits the 02 not as good n glad they went back to metal links grate video m8 👍👍👍🤟🤟👍👍

[@youtubeviewer9523]

That is one hella sweet rig! Outta interest Greg, do you reckon we may get some nitro content soon, or do you still have a lot of electrics to get through first?

[@rcdriver]

Not in the near future, bit things are always changing on my content list.

[@jonthomas8487]

I’ve been wanting a GMade GS02F model for a while now but I keep talking myself out of it due to the fact I like upgrading things and the aftermarket isn’t very extensive for these. You are also limited to them only having one central master distributor which is Hobby Recreation Products. Amain and others get their GMade from HRP

[@brianmassey7563]

I agree that the options can be limiting, but with the F version you get overdrive and 2 speed. Shock towers, servo and panhard, even knuckles and weights are SCX10.ii. You can even get heavy links for it (from gmade even). Not much else needed IMO.

[@mickeysrccrawl]

Hi. How is it to back with, because I have 3 gmade´s (not buffalo) and they all make strange sound when i back with them. Greetings from Denmark

[@ethanmoore8157]

Can someone pleaseeeee bring light to this 2 speed issue! So many users have their gmade Buffalo locked in 1st gear due to the binding happening in 2nd! Can you please post about this?

[@YoShImUrA53]

Hey Greg, sweet color! Nice detail on the grille too. I'm torn between this, the Phoenix and Element's V2 Builder's kit... I know they're not quite apples to apples, each bringing a bit of a different taste and focus between trail and crawling... so I'll probably eventually end up with all three. haha! One thing I would have liked to see you compare a bit further in detail is the performance and driving differences with the hardtop (if the lower CoG due to the body and tire diameter is noticeable, and any other remarkable differences you noticed...), as I can't make up my mind either with the military hardtop or this pickup. Any further notes are highly appreciated. Love your in-depth tech reviews!

[@rcdriver]

Hmmm I think I need to go out a do a video with both. I'm going to try to fit that in soon and can give a better assessment between the handling characteristics.

[@YoShImUrA53]

@@rcdriver Awesome! Looking forward to that. Thanks!!

[@cohensherrill3140]

Sick crawler you should put a firma 2300kv system in it.

[@rcdriver]

The Firma is still planted in my Gatekeeper. I had a new HH motor that needed a home.

[@SteadfastRC]

Seems too expensive to me you can get a Gen. 8 V-2 for about $30 cheaper and it's RTR

[@rcdriver]

But the Gen8 is not a kit and it’s a different setup. For many RC is not a hunt for the best deal, most of the time it about getting what interests you.

[@SteadfastRC]

@@rcdriver Yeah that's true I guess, I guess I just don't see the advantage of this Kit other than the 2 speed trans

[@AL-ud2is]

Don't get it, why review the same truck twice? could of done the Bom at least it has a completely different look/body and a different rear suspension set up...strange
