Overview
The Gmade KOMODO Off-Road Adventure Vehicle Kit (GM54000) is a 1/10 scale 4WD off-road adventure vehicle assembly kit featuring the proven Gmade GS01 nickel-plated steel ladder-frame chassis and the iconic KOMODO SUV/pickup body. The KOMODO platform is designed for trail driving, scale crawling, and adventure-style off-road exploration with authentic styling and outstanding scale detail.
Built around a 4-link suspension system with G-Transition aluminum oil-filled internally-sprung shocks, the GS01 chassis blends scale realism with capable trail performance. A dust-proof receiver box (styled like an engine cover) doubles as an ESC mount and helps protect electronics from debris, while the adjustable battery plate accommodates a range of pack sizes and keeps the center of gravity low. A smooth central skid plate lets the chassis glide over obstacles, and a dust-proof transmission with metal motor mount delivers reliable power to one-piece graphite (high-strength plastic) axle housings with metal differential covers and solid diff gears. Universal driveshafts and full ball-bearing rolling components round out the drivetrain.
The kit ships with the heavy-duty 1.5mm clear lexan KOMODO body and a generous set of scale accessories — front grille, mirrors, light buckets, wipers, door handles, heavy-duty bumpers, roof rack, snorkel, sand ladder, hooks, and shovel — plus a decal sheet, MT-1903 1.9" off-road tires, and NR02 1.9" beadlock wheels.
