- BlackSeaRC presents the third video in a series featuring the Gmade GOM GR01 1:10 scale radio controlled rock buggy kit. In this video you can watch the continuation of the step-by-step kit build and get useful hints and tips along the way. As well as showing the kit itself, the video also shows the ancillary aftermarket items required to enable this buggy to get up and running (e.g. RC equipment) and also some additional items such as optional upgrade secondary rear shock absorbers, front LED lights and super scale realistic driver figure. This video will be interesting if you are planning a rock buggy/rock racer build yourself or if you are simply interested in RC crawlers/off-road buggies and want to find out more about the not so commonly seen Gmade GOM.
If you want to see the GOM being unboxed and the preparation for the kit build, then please check the first video in this series at the following link:

In future videos in this series, BlackSeaRC shall conclude the kit build. Then the set-up of the GOM shall be demonstrated and not forgetting the most important part, the driving, where the buggy will be subjected to off-road testing. There shall also be further upcoming ideas for customisation and features on upgrade and spare parts.
The GOM, or “Bear” when translated from the Korean language, is a 4-wheel drive rock buggy inspired by the custom-built racers that compete in the annual “King of the Hammers” desert race in USA. Special features of the Gmade GOM include:
- Full tube frame chassis for light weight but extreme rigidity and polycarbonate body panels (require painting).
- 4-wheel drive scale realistic driveline with metal bearings.
- 2-speed transmission including a gearbox, dual pad slipper clutch and a remote mounted transfer case. “High” gear is for high speed driving, “Low” gear is for rock crawling and the transfer case has a “Dig” function allowing the rear wheels to be locked for making tight turns in technical sections. These functions shall be controlled by a 3-position switch on the RC transmitter and a separate shift servo (not included in kit).
- GA60 straight axles with reinforcement truss, multi link suspension and adjustable aeration heavy-duty oil-filled shock absorbers.
- Chassis mounted steering servo (not included in kit) and "Hi steer zero Ackerman" knuckle arms for increased ground clearance and reduced turning circle.
- 2.2" MT-2202 off-road M/T tyres on GT02 beadlock wheels.
- Forward mounted motor and battery (these items not included in kit) are positioned to give front weight balance to aid traction whilst climbing.
- Detailed interior cockpit with racing bucket seats, gear levers and steering wheel.
This "GOM Kit" is Gmade part number 56000. There is also a "GOM Plus Kit" (GM56020) with a variety of upgrade parts included in the kit and a fully-assembled "RTR" Ready-To-Run version (GM56010).

I don't know why these GOM buggies were not more successful, it looks like a nicely designed buggy to me.
I think it is because the brand does not really have a high profile like some of the bigger names. This means that the range of upgrade parts is more limited and in the world of crawling/rock racing, everyone likes to customise their own vehicles. I think that if Gmade had updated the GOM and made an improved version 2, it would have been more popular.
This looks like a really interesting build, thanks for showing it in detail.
Thanks for your comment. It was an interesting build and the buggy turned out to be bigger than I thought it would be. I think it is closer to 1:8 scale than 1:10 scale.
Great build so far, have a great weekend my friend
Thank you! It is certainly coming together nicely and I can't wait to see how it performs.
Careful explanation and work is very good 👍 my friend😆🤝
Very kind of you to say so! I also have another kit by Cross-RC to build so it is very busy at the moment...
@@BlackSeaRC 👍😁
I know the GOM has been around for a while but it is a great looking buggy. It would be nice to get some metal upgrade parts for it.
I have admired the GOM for a long time and there are still really only a few other crawlers like this on the market. I love the scale detailing and I plan to add some more parts to further improve the realism. There are some great CNC parts available for the GOM but they are quite expensive. I will look at what is available in a future video.
I love how everything is detailed , keep up , also make sure u don't scratch it when u use it 🤣🤣🤣 , but that would be intersting to the suspension working outside on a long road with a lot of rocks
Yes, this one deserves some proper off-road testing. The only way to never get scratches is to keep it on the shelf and I don't intend to do that!
@@BlackSeaRC 😅😅😅
Will you make one day a video Amber driving in the Buggy ?
Yes, that was always my plan. Sorry it is taking so long. My RC collection is spread between two countries but I hope to make the next video in this series in the coming months.
@@BlackSeaRC I can relate to it , I got so many plans with a lot of stuff . Some projects are waiting since over 4 years . ^^
@@paluxyl.8682 Well, it is a bit embarrassing really to not show the GOM running yet but, like you, I have lots of build and customisation projects. I have the Cross-RC PG4A kit, for example, that has been waiting 2 years to build and the Tamiya XR311 upgrade project with some amazing metal parts waiting a similar amount of time. Plus, I want to restore my vintage 1981 Tamiya Holiday Buggy...
Love these going to buy 1 how reliable are they using for rock crawling
Hello there! I have always liked the GOM buggy and decided to get one earlier this year after thinking about it for quite some time. I appreciate that it has been around for quite a few years but if you want a buggy style vehicle rather than a truck, there really isn't so much choice. I haven't had any problems with mine so far but then I am quite a light user and not a basher. If you checked the first part of my video series, you will have seen that there are 3 variants; the GOM Kit, PLUS Kit and ARTR. The basic kit does use quite a few plastic parts. There are metal upgrades available but these are quite expensive and not always so easy to find. The PLUS kit uses some better components but in general, the level is not as high as some other crawlers. For comparison, take a look at my Cross-RC EMO AT4V crawler. This pick-up truck was a similar price but uses a greater number of metal parts. I have my GOM configured with a shift servo. This shift arrangement can be a weak point in the design. Really it depends upon exactly what sort of crawling you are planning to do. My AT4V also has the ability to remotely lock/unlock the diffs but the GOM doesn't have this ability. If you get the PLUS kit you will need to choose your own tyres but at least that enables you to pick something ideal for rock crawling.
ahhh yess .. Amber looks like a baby in that seat .. i don't know if the car is exactly 1:10 scale, or the buggy in the real life is so big .. hmmm, but if you modify the seat, Amber will still look small with the Buggy Body itself .. maybe the 7" action figure will do the job? ..
maan .. i missed a lot of your videos ..😅
I know exactly what you mean and that is rather disappointing as I had hoped she would be a perfect driver for this buggy. She even has the perfect colour matching outfit plus the boots and gloves work for this application. It is generally agreed that the GOM is rather large for the claimed 1:10 scale and is probably nearer to 1:9 or 1:8 scale. I was even thinking to make a little cushion for her to sit on to raise her up a little bit. It wouldn't really be visible so much from the outside and then the belts would fit better. But you are right, a 7 inch figure would probably suit the application much better. Do you have any suggestions for figures?
You can also see Amber in my Cross-RC AT4V customisation video. I tried to do a scale interior for that truck but again, it wasn't the result that I had hoped for.
@@BlackSeaRC hmm i think the action figure from NECA or DC are 7inch .. but almost all of them are superheroes, we need more "natural figures" for the driver .. 😁
@@themozzie You are right, I don't want a superhero type figure but just an average person. The choice of characters like this is much more limited.
