Description
Overview
The Gmade GS02F BOM TC (GM57011) is a high-performance 1/10 scale 4WD off-road rock crawler assembly kit featuring Gmade's proven GS02F steel ladder-frame chassis paired with a unique rear cantilever suspension system. The TC (Trail Competition) designation reflects this kit's competition-focused tuning — refined geometry, durable internals, and the kind of articulation and stability that excels in scale competition events.
The standout feature is the GS02 BOM rear cantilever suspension, which relocates the shocks for a cleaner flat-bed/full-drop-bed layout, smoother shock motion, and impressive wheel travel. Combined with GA44 metal axles, hardened steel universal joints, an all-metal 2-speed HI/LO transmission with overdrive and Torque Twist Reduce (TTR), and a dual slipper clutch, the BOM TC delivers a precise, predictable feel through the most technical sections of any course.
Topping the kit is the BOM lexan body with hinged rear cage, a dustproof electronic box, and detailed scale accessories — front grille, light buckets, side mirrors, door handles, and rear cage — for an authentic and competition-ready scale truck.
Key Features
- GS02F steel C-channel ladder-frame chassis, powder-coated
- Adjustable wheelbase: 313mm standard, configurable to 324mm
- BOM rear cantilever suspension system for big wheel travel and clean bed layout
- Forward weight balance with front-mounted 540/550 motor
- Chassis-mounted servo with Panhard bar (near-zero bump steer)
- 2-speed HI/LO transmission with all-metal internal gears
- Overdrive front output and Torque Twist Reduce (TTR) drivetrain
- Dual slipper clutch for precise gear protection and tuning
- GA44 metal axles with metal diff lockers, hardened carbon steel CVA, zero-Ackerman steering
- Hardened carbon steel universal driveshafts
- SD Scaler aluminum oil-filled coil-over shocks (3.5mm shafts)
- Hinged BOM lexan body with dustproof electronic box and rear cage
- MT-1904 1.9" M/T off-road tires on NR03 1.9" wheels (12mm hex)
Performance Benefits
- Exceptional rear-axle articulation from cantilever suspension geometry
- Big wheel travel for confident obstacle clearance
- Predictable, competition-ready handling and stability
- Tighter steering radius from overdrive front output
- Reduced torque-twist body roll for cleaner power delivery
- Smooth, consistent damping from oil-filled coil-over shocks
- Strong, durable drivetrain optimized for high-torque crawler motors
- Fully tunable suspension geometry, gearing, and ride height
Usage Notes
Ideal for competitive scale crawling, technical trail driving, and any application where rear articulation and bed-flat layout matter. The kit requires full assembly and is best suited to experienced builders comfortable with gear meshing, cantilever suspension setup, and electronics installation. The included Buffalo body is clear lexan and requires paint and finishing.
