Gmade is a South Korean RC brand that occupies a unique space in the Philippine crawling scene — it's more premium than Chinese brands, but less common than Traxxas or Axial, making a Gmade build stand out on any trail.
Gmade's Key Models
- Gmade Sawback — Gmade's flagship crawler. Ladder-frame, real spring-over suspension, and a rugged off-road pickup body. Available in kit form, which is what most local builders prefer.
- Gmade Komodo — A longer, more capable platform with a realistic 4-door body. Great for trail runs and scale realism builds.
- Gmade GOM — The short-wheelbase, go-anywhere beadlock monster. Designed for technical crawling, the GOM is a favorite for obstacle courses and comp-style events.
- Gmade R1 — A 1/10 scale rock buggy that's lightweight and aggressive. Pairs well with competition setups.
Gmade in the Philippines
Gmade rigs are typically imported through hobby shops or sourced directly by enthusiast builders. Prices are mid-to-high range — ₱12,000–₱22,000 depending on the model and trim level. They're not as common as Axial or Cross-RC on Philippine trails, which actually makes them more eye-catching at club runs and events.
Build Quality and Upgrades
Gmade uses solid, quality materials. The brand's portals and axles are well-regarded, and many popular upgrade parts from Vanquish, SSD RC, and Boom Racing are compatible with Gmade platforms. If you want a build that looks and performs uniquely, Gmade is a solid choice.
