Overview
The Gmade GS02F Military Buffalo TS (GM57007) is a 1/10 scale 4WD rock crawler assembly kit featuring rugged military-themed Buffalo styling on Gmade's proven GS02F steel ladder-frame chassis. The Military Buffalo body delivers authentic military appearance backed by the same serious scale crawling capability that makes the GS02F platform a favorite of dedicated builders.
Underneath the distinctive military body sits a full-time 4WD drivetrain with a 2-speed HI/LO transmission, overdrive front output, Torque Twist Reduce (TTR) gearing, hardened carbon steel U-joints, and GA44 metal axles. The chassis-mounted servo with Panhard bar virtually eliminates bump steer, while SD Scaler aluminum oil-filled coil-over shocks deliver smooth, consistent damping across rough terrain.
