gmade.net says coming soon and junfac.com doesn't show them...

maybe you could email the junfac store and ask... I've emailed him before and he was very helpful..

The truck on the front page has the black wheels but the truck on the products page has chrome... I hope it comes with the chrome :)

It's out now! But only listed on the Gmade site for $645 or something....

Once Junfac.com lists them it will hopefull go down to $478 just like the Spider...

They changed the chasiss design quite a bit! But I like it! Totally unique...

I don't know... I like it A LOT but money is an issue right now... But make no mistake--if I could afford one, I would order today. I am completely sold on Gmade quality/durability. It is second to none. We'll see what happens but as of right now, I can't afford one...

We need a smiley face that wet them self!!!

Guess I'll have to use this to show my ture feelings: :drool :willy :drool

Thanks for the heads up kjr2!!

Wonder why they change the chassis design?...don't get me wrong the new one looks cool too, just thought they would keep with the old chassis design like they did with the Spider. Also there doen't seem to be any swaybars for racing. Oh yeah like thats going to keep me from getting one :roll

I don't know, that surprised me too. But I'm glad they did. Not because the old design was bunk, because this new design is killer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They changed the spider too, just not completely like they did with the Dragoon.

Here is the old Spider design sold for Clod axles:



And here is the new Spider design. Similar, but MUCH cooler!

So ya gonna order a new Dragoon kit??? Gmade.net has them listed for $645 like the Spider, but I bet Junfac.com will have them for $478 like they have the Spider...

I want one of these Dragoon kits so bad.... I'm never gonna get a High Lift as long as GMade keeps putting out amazing kits... I planned on saving up and getting a High Lift as my next kit, but now I think I want this way more...

Man I'm about to hit the Bu-it-Now botton on the E-bay link :willy :willy

My bad on the Spider chassis....guess I didn't pay attention when I was looking at the Spider.

Yep I'm digging the looks of the new chassis design. Kind of cool how they have the front half (guess it's the front half) leaning foward :drool

The price if you think about it is not that bad for what you all get..if they would through in a body of your choice it would be a complete kid minus motors!!

"Saying in my head"
Buy-it-now / don't buy-it-now / buy-it-now / don't buy-it-now / buy-it-now etc.


I'll keep yeah posted :banghead :banghead

Yeah it's totally worth it. A mod clod would cost just as much and not be as nice. I can't think of any aftermarket Clod chassis as nice as the Gmade kits, except the Gmade Clod chassis' I guess! But those are $355 so the Gmade Kit is cheaper by the time you get axles and tires!

Hey you think a Maxx style body will look right on the new Dragon?? The body I saw on the E-bay listing is a F650 body for the LST, TNX, and MGT type trucks.

Only thing that I don't like is how the body post are so close to the windshield and come out the roof other than that I could see this thing in my stables.




Think theres a way to do side body post? I've been looking at the picture and have a couple ideas but can't really tell if it would work unless the chassis was sitting in front of me ;)

Where the body posts come out of the body depends on the body. In the GMADE vid, some had all four posts exiting through the roof of the truck.

I switched my Spider to side mounts. I used two of the four holes on each side that were meant for the stand-up posts.
