Gmade Komodo GS01 Scale 1.9 Crawler Kit
This truck has a GS01 chassis witch is shared with the Gmade Sawback. The Komodo is a 4 link setup. I will give you my list of negative features. First and probably most important negative is the turning radius of the stock truck is roughly 32°. This radius is bad compared to the Axial and the Vaterra they have a 45° radius. This is correctable but you will shell out anouther 80$ in parts. Second problem is the shock are in need of replacement. Third don't bother buying the chassis mounted servo upgrade because they do require a pan hard for this to work yet they don't sell one designed for this truck so you are left to figure out your own. Fourth since the factory battery location is in the back it is highly recommended to move the battery to the front. If you use the optional front mount battery tray you can't use the chassis mounted servo kit since the tray blocks the mounting location. This truck also has some driveline issues but they are not a constant problem. At some point you will break one so have a couple spares. The truck does have some good things going for it. It is solid and capable. If you are looking for something different that most likely you are the only one with than this is it. It can be made into a good competitive rig. If you are looking for a straight competition rig right out of the box with less upfront money get the Axial SCX 10 2.
Almost forgot the truck does have beadlocks and so far I am not impressed with them. They are on my upgrade list.


3/25/17 Update- after some use the beadlocks are garbage.

8/10/17 Update- After some time with the truck and comparing it to other trail trucks. I would not recommend this truck to anyone. I have broken a lot of cv joints and is a pure money pit. Do yourself a major favor get a Axial,Vaterra,Traxxas,Rc4wd or just about anything else. I honestly can't suggest this truck to anyone.

Gmade Komodo GS01 Scale 1.9 Crawler Kit
I have had this truck for about a month now and it is a blast to crawl with. The only downside to this kit is the fact that it comes with Phillips screws out of the box. I would definitely recommend this kit to anyone looking for a scale crawler.

Gmade Komodo GS01 Scale 1.9 Crawler Kit
This is a well made kit, and I enjoyed putting it together with my kids. A few observations to share:
1. The plastic appears to be quite a bit harder than any other kit or usual RTR I have. That’s neither good nor bad, thus far.
2. The included screws are all Phillips head.
3. The tires give good purchase, but I have stripped two rims hex drives.
4. I have broken one rear axle shaft. Finding parts for the GMade products is tougher than their competitors.
5. There is no waterproof electronics box, be aware of that.
6. The turning radius of this truck, while perhaps close to 1:1 trucks, just plain sucks!
7. The assembly manual is very good and well thought out. Unfortunately, the parts bags aren’t as well organized.
8. I’m split on the shocks. They are much more like their 1:1 cousins in function, and I haven’t had any issues with them. But the only tuning you can do with them requires a tear down, for spring or oil changes. No adjustment ollars, and nowhere to add/remove shims. But they do work!

I am fortunate to have several scale/trail vehicles to compare this to. A SCX10.1 Deadbolt, SCX10.2, Everest Gen7 Pro, TRX4 Defender, And a TRX4 Bronco. They all have quirks. Compared to them, I can’t recommend this kit. You are going to be equal money on most of them, by the time you outfit the truck with an ESC, motor, spur gear, grease, receiver (And maybe a transmitter), paint, and perhaps paint mask. It just happens to be the last one grabbed for a trail run with the wife and kids. The turning radius is the biggest reason. I likely could find some other axles to morph into the truck, and that likely will happen. But, that wouldn’t apply to this review!
