    The Gmade Owners' Thread

    in Scale Crawlers & Replicas

    Hi everyone. I haven't been here for a while but I have a question to ask for those who have already built their Buffalos. I'm slowly building mine when I can and I'm nearly there. However I noticed something odd when assembling first shock tonight. Everything seems great apart from top plastic bushings which are fitting very loose into the top shock cap. They just falling out of the eye. I checked part numbers three times and they are definitely right. Has anyone experienced this issue?

    Lights can plus straight into the bat/aux input, on the receiver. So, they don't take up a channel. This is what I've done.

     

    However, this is only if you wish them to be always on (unless you unplug, of course). If you want it transmitter-selectable, you'll need another channel.

    Thank you. I will need more channels then as I want to be able to switch them on and off

    If anyone could suggest a decent 4 channel transmitter that doesn't brake the bank that will be great. I was hoping for flysky but I can only see 3 channel options unfortunately...  Or is it possible to connect lights without using separate channel? I'm hopeless with electronics.

    Thank you, I've seen it now. After rethinking and probably over thinking I will stay with 2s battery for this truck so I can have interchangeable batteriers between Blazer and my Jeep which runs on 2s now.

    It’s a standard size servo the shifting mechanism is real nice so you don’t need something fancy . I used a basic HPI waterproof job 👍

    Thank you. This is great news. I thought that it would be something smaller but in that case it means one headache less😉

    I haven’t had the chance to run mine yet but a 27t motor should give you decent speed for a crawler in second gear .

     

    Thanks. I just don't know how slow is first gear there or how big is the difference between first and second. There are lots of videos on yt but no one really says what motor they're using apart from RC Girl using brushless combo on hers, but this is way beyond my budget🤣

    Hi all Gmade Buffalo owners. I just purchased a kit so hopefully will be starting it next week. I'm just having a think about appropriate motor as I want to use this 2 speed gearbox ability to go fast sometimes. What are you guys using for yours? I'm just worried that 27T would a little bit to slow... Any suggestions? 

    Airbrushing equipment etc

    I'm thinking about taking it to the next level and starting using airbrush for my next model. I never done that so that's why I'm asking for general advice on buying some nice compact kit which would do the job to use on hard plastic and lexan. There are lots online but I don't want to spend fortune and obviously don't want to buy some useless s..t.  If anyone can advise that will be great.
