ShaiAX55 Gmade R1 1.9 KOH Rock Buggy

Spent a week of sleepless nights building a capable & almost to scale KOH Buggy using Gmade R1 Chassis. Still lot more to be done with adding accessories. First time rebuilding a rig, so here is what i used:

Gmade R1 Chassis
Gmade R1 Tranny
Junfac drive shafts
AX10 Axles
Junfac TS02 90mm Shocks
Robinson Racing 15T Pinion
Mamba Max Pro ESC
HPI 35T Brushed for Crawl/Trails
Novak 21.5T Sensored Brushless for Rock Racing
Traxxas 5539 58mm Turnbuckles for upper links
Gmade lower links 6.8x70mm
XQ Power Servo
AX10 Alu Steering links
INTEGY 10H 1.9 Wheels & Tires
& of cos lots of 3S LIpo

Didnt actually spent a lot, most of it i just use parts that i currently have.
Planning to buy some accessories, TSL 1.9 Boggers, a spare tire & a winch.




Tested crawling at home & works good. Can't wait to test it on site. Still deciding either 2.2 or 1.9 tires look more like a KOH..hmmm..what u guys think?

Scale looking rockracer!
Reminds me of my rockforce.

Looks good.

i think this size looks good!

Wow.. .. .. Rock Racer.. .. .. ..

Looks Great

Thanx all Bros. Sadly not goin to waterproof this rig but i will bring it during our dry trails.. Btw its not a racer, more a scale KOH, slow crawls with a lil bit of speed when needed.

hey,,looks nice.. total diff from the first time i saw it at your void deck.
Better dun waterproof tis,,tink u should fully water proof your wraith so we can swim and dive together..lolx..

Test it out at Bishan Park this morning, & Bro Slow is rite, this rig doesn't crawl, it jumps! Those big rocks at Bishan are big problems for 1.9s. The TS02 shocks are more suitable for rock racing even when setup on soft springs. The Integy tires are bouncy but ok for rig my setup.

My Gmade R1 1.9 KOH (TS02 Shocks & Integy All Terrain tires) final verdict

Rock Crawl: Poor
Trail Crawl: Good
Steep Hill Climb: Excellent
Rock Race: Excellent

Overall im satisfied . Sacrificing performance on beauty but still manageable.
Since its proven a rock racer, next upgrade will be some good tires, alu steering knuckles, changing pinion to 17T & maybe throw in a 13.5T brushless.

Oh i brought my camera but forget to bring my sdcard. Total FAIL!
Feel free to add suggestions.

D.Ong: I hate the cleaning part after swimming lol but dun worry im making another rig fully waterproof so can go snorkeling with u lol.

Just a lil update. Add KOH style grills. Too bad can't join the trail just now. Need a steep hill challenge and the Tampinese trail is perfect. Any of u guys know any place with steep rocky hills?

Nice.
