GMade GS02F teaser

That’s a definite jeep like shape.....

Going by the shape and proportions of the body my bet is a 2nd gen/squarebody Chevrolet K5 Blazer, or at least a fictionalized one. The truck on the right seems light it has the front brush guard and antenna from the  M1009  CUCV

If thats the case, sign me up! Would be a nice deviation from the Jeep-spam we've had for years now, as cool as Jeeps are the market is getting a bit saturated with them

Hmm, if its another Jeep based shell then count me out,  i would of thought the companies might start making scale models based on newer kit like dodge ram or F-250, chevvy suburban, that kinda stuff 

Thursday to Tuesday - Shortest tease ever ? 🤟

 

 

Two kits on the way 🥳

Forward mount motor, pretty much all new chassis layout

 

 

 

Overdriven axle option, anti twist  outputs as per BOM

1:1, 1.14:1 and 1.22:1 overdrive although 1.14 is referred to as 'stock' so not sure if the others are included or sold as options (1:1 and 1.22:1 have their own part numbers)

 

 

 

Military option has bull bars, civilian includes roof rack

 

2 speed tran, and it looks like they've moved away from 'gaping hole in gearbox housing' to a push rod through the end 👍👍👍

 

 

 

Chassis mounted servo and panhard bar

 

Standard axles (no portals)

 

Pre-order available now:

$319 Military, $349 Civilian + $54 shipping, ships 16/10

Import fees a distinct possibility also!

Not sure of justication of price difference,  Mil kit has slightly smaller tyres (108mm OD  v 121mm on Civ) and Civ kit includes roof rack

 

 

Usual metal balls for as pre-order bonus

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Update:

Manuals are online now too;

Civilian

Military

 

As well as confirming no LEDs are included on the Civ version, it looks clearer here that 1:1 and 1.22:1 overdrive alternatives are (buyable) options

Liking the civilian version a lot - nice to see something a little different bodywise finally!

Be interested to see how much these end up going for

You should be able to get a reasonable idea from comparing these;

 

Junfac (GMade Korean store)

Modelsport

 

GOM Rock buggy is $339/£299, Civilian Buffalo, in comparison, is $349

Do you think it possible to fit an interior (proper one) if the battery moved somewhere?

Must admit i rather like the look of the bronco style one

Wahey, I was right. It is a K5 Blazer the M1009 inspired one is super nice, hope that antenna can be unhooked so it waggles around

The antenna's a steel 'whip' type similar to the one used on Tamiya's Sand Scorcher - Leaving it unhooked wouldn't be a problem

In fact, the manual doesn't show a preferred tether point for the other end, so it waggles by default 😆

There's 2 stock battery placement options, one kinda under the front seats and and one under the rear seats
