just arrived and we took the liberty of comparing it with the most well known scale crawler on this planet; the Axial SCX 10. In this blogpost we run the newest Gmade 1/10 Scale Crawler Komodo against Axial’s most iconic SCX10 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon!
This version of the SCX10 comes rtr whereas the Komodo is currently only offered as an unbuilt kit only.
These both cars are tested without battery as there are large differences between different brands of battery manufacturers and you will get a different feel if we used a different battery to you, so we thought best to leave it out. The demo version of the Komodo we received was installed with a few option parts. However at the weigh in the Gmade Komodo weighed 2064.4 grams compared to the SCX10 Jeep Wrangler weighed 2141.8 grams. Wheelbase wise, this version of the SCX10 has a 313mm wheelbase, whereas the Komodo is a bit shorter at 287mm. Each longer and shorter has their own benefits, where longer will be more stable during climbs but a shorter wheelbase will give a more nimble car on the trails.
