So Ive been wanting something different from all the Bombers/Wraiths out there that myself and everybody has, and since having seen this truck in person many times racing at Nor Cal Rock Racing (Nor Cal Rock Racing – Exciting Rock Racing Action in Northern California) kicking ass, 4400 Ultra4 class #44 Gary Ferravanti Sr.'s Ultra4 rock buggy, I was inspired to build an Ultra4 RC truck kinda like it,



Some of my videos with him taking the wins and dominating


obviously the real life truck is an IFS truck, but it still looks cool and I want the solid axle look. So thus where the Gmade GOM GR01 Rock Buggy jumps out as the perfect truck for the job.

Since I had a lot of free time during shelter in place I picked up a Plus Kit as an unfinished project with few other goodies someone didn't want anymore.

So I got it all built/greased/oiled/tuned up good how I want with what was with it, basically all stock and low end electronics, but not for long because that not how I roll, so then I added/created a few free upgrades I had laying around for things that seemed lacking on the kit. Why it comes with glue on wheels, dont get me started.

Upgrades:
-Aluminum tube w/ all thread custom upper link
-Flange wheel nuts, 2.2 D-hole beadlocks
-Pitbull Rock Beast 2 tires and Dos Piezas foams
-Led lights with Axial simple controller
-Scale figure with 5 point harness.
-Voodoo U4 spare tire on Gmade Plus kit wheel (unglued)

Also made some flat body panels from styrene and got them painted up somewhat like the ultra 4 truck. Sticker it all up good like I wish I was sponsored, and there we have my new 2020 truck the SavageGOM!!!! What a bear!!!





And a First test teaser video I made on the 4th of July with some fireworks we saw.


Any recommendations, requests or upgrades are welcome!!

This will be a timeline thread of this truck for me which I haven't followed through before but thought would be fun to start to document all the upgrades I will be doing, as all my vehicles are heavily upgraded and customized. Stick along, and enjoy the fun with me and all the progress of upgrading this great looking truck!!! Many posts and videos to come. Subscribe to my youtube for evern more fun....
