stretch

Cheers mate, felt like a kid at Christmas opening it. For now I'm going to swap the electrics then send it.

I expect I will be the only owner as only seen one other posted on here some years ago but what the hell. I've always liked Unimog's and missed out buying a UMG10 on release so been hankering for one for a while. Finally one came up in the UK so snapped it up. Despite a keen following apparently (I stand to be corrected) they won't be re-re'd as the blueprints were lost when when Axial sold to Horizon. Original plastic wheels and tyres have been replaced with military look metal beadlocks and Pro-Line BF Goodrich Krawler T/A KX 1.9 in Predator compound as apparently these are better for lighter rigs than the G8 one. As it came a with original wheels and centre caps and not wanting to lose them I printed a new set to go with the new wheels.

Seen a few threads recently about different tool brands people use so wondered what other goodies people have. I have a cordless screwdriver which i got to make doing beadlocks less painful as it has push drive function so you don't need to press a button for it to operate which makes it easier to get downward pressure on screws. It also has 3 adjustable torque settings.

A rarely seen in the wild and a RC unicorn for me an axial umg10.

New boots

great video and smooth running.

Yep found the same on my Louise Champs etc.

+1 for the rock beasts as well. I rung hyrax on my trx4 sport.

I'm currently running the GT5 and it's been solid rx's are cheap and waterproof ones are available on aliexpress. I've recently bought the G7P as fancied an upgrade, it was £80 with 2 rx's and a lipo. I also bought the extra phone holder £20 iirc (one of the reasons i bought this as was looking for something i could attach phone//camera to for crwaling).

I've had good results with Louise Champs (same as the Duratrax Deep Woods and Fastrax Rocko's)

Steel Frame Ladder The frame of GS02F chassis is designed to look like real cars’. It is made of high strength steel and the C-channel side rail with hex wrench bolted cross members make it resistant to twisting and warping. The steel parts are finished with powder coats to prevent rusting. Inner Fenders The inner fenders are directly fixed to the frame to reduce flex and bend of the chassis and parts. They also avoid external objects entering into the chassis during the driving. Extended 347mm wheelbase Extended wheelbase makes climbing and rough terrain driving more stable and smoother. Front Weight Balance Weight balance of the GS02F chassis is leaning forward. This increases traction of the front wheels and provides better crawling performance at high angle hills or rocks. It also minimizes rolling over backwards when climbing. Multiple Battery Size Size changing battery tray of the GS02F chassis can hold all sizes of Lipo and Ni-MH batteries. Overdrive Overdrive system means the front and the rear wheels rotate for different speeds. The GS02F transmission is designed to rotate the front wheels faster than the rear wheels. Better Steering Radius Vehicles with overdrive front wheels turn with shorter steering radius compared with non-overdrive vehicles. The overdrive also makes the control easier when the car is driving on rough surfaces. 2-Speed HI/LO Transmission The 1st gear is for hardcore rock crawling and the 2nd gear is for hill climb or high-speed driving. Torque Twist Reduce Transmission TTR(Torque Twist Reduce) transmission is designed to reduce unnecessary torque so the vehicle will drive with more stability. From the transmission, the front and rear universal shafts rotates clockwise and counterclockwise, and these opposite rotations compensate for rotational forces of action(torque) and reaction(reverse torque). MT-1905 1.9 Inch M/T Off-Road Tyre The MT 1905 off-road tires, made of super soft compound material provide much traction to the surfaces. The tread patterns are suitable for off-road driving and the large diameter of the tires enables it to run smoothly on any uneven road surfaces. Tyre Specifications Tyre Height: 121mm Tyre Width: 45mm Inner Diameter: 48mm (1.9") SPIDER LEXAN BODY The spider body is a NO TOP style body made of high quality 1.5mm lexan with high strength and details. To add realism details it includes front grille, light bucket, side mirrors, wipers, driver seat, steering wheel, shifter, overfenders, roll cage and a LED light bar so you can tune into a realistic off-road vehicle to matches the concept of off-road adventure. The accessory parts are made of high-strength plastic so they are resistant from the highly impacts, and include decals with realistic details. Car Specifications Width: 269mm Height: 255mm Length: 486mm Wheelbase: 347mm Ground Clearance: 82mm Weight (No Electronics): 2.36kg Front Approach Angle: 79 degree Rear Approcach Angle: 90 degree https://www.gmade.net/product/gmade-110-gs02f-spider-portal-ts-kit/2255/category/324/display/1/#listproduct_product View full news article

Great build mate, need some running videos and how it performs Vs other rigs.

Great pics and awesome spot there mate👌

Yeah I'm hoping it gets the ftx branding.

Sure here you go, you can tell the difference as no chip on mousepad.

Ooooo liking that, depending on parts supply might be worth a punt.

This one has sold but have another one exact model/condition but 8GB memory and no chip on the mousepad, £250 posted

I use gt85 on all my rigs helps I like the smell as well! In axles I use carlube marine grease.

Love the ecto black scratch body. Look forward to the build.

Awesome video that mate looks great on the trails.

Agreed that's a lot of kit for your money, love the fact it comes with working winch. Ftx seem to have pulled it out of the bag with this one.

Looks the danglies that mate look forward to the running video and thoughts.

I use a toolkitrc charger with my allpowers portable power station, the good thing about the toolkit charger is that you can charge lipos from another lipo or you can do it via a car battery. https://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/forums/topic/253916-toolkitrc-m4-pocket-charger-and-sc100-cable-review/

Nice one glad you sorted it mate.
