ASD (AXIAL SELECTABLE DRIVE)

Expand your strategies for overcoming obstacles with the Gilamon trail buggy’s ASD (Axial Selectable Drive), a more advanced and highly capable drivetrain version of cutting brakes. While cutting brakes are only as strong as the brakes themselves, ASD physically and completely locks a wheel. As it’s set up out of the box, you can lock either of the rear wheels for a tighter turning radius. The front axle and transmission also accept optional ASD setups.

TRAIL BUGGY DESIGN

The Gilamon has a durable, realistically detailed composite cage with Lexan body panels for protection and challenge-ready trail buggy looks. The rig comes factory-finished and is available in your choice of two color options.

AT6 TRANSMISSION

Axial puts the emphasis on durability and versatility with its all-new AT6 transmission. The transmission includes a 30% underdrive to the rear axle that dramatically improves climbing and increases maneuverability. It’s also designed to accept optional ASD (Axial Selectable Drive) setups for an unprecedented level of vehicle control.

AF16P PORTAL AXLES

Heavy-duty, high clearance AF16P portal axles are among the design innovations that increase maneuverability for success on challenging trails. The rear axle comes with ASD (Axial Selectable Drive) function installed, and the front axle is ASD compatible.

WATERPROOF SPEKTRUM ELECTRONICS

The high-quality, waterproof Spektrum on-board electronics are ideal for crawling in any conditions. The Spektrum S682 metal gear steering servo has the industry standard 25-tooth spline count and an aluminum servo horn for strength. A Spektrum SX108 metal gear micro servo is included for the ASD (Axial Selectable Drive) system.

AXIAL BOULDER 550 BRUSHED MOTOR

A big rig like the Gilamon needs a big motor. The oversized, factory-installed Axial Boulder 550 is longer than a typical 540 motor, providing more torque and greater durability. The 21-turn design offers the perfect blend of power and wheel speed.

SPEKTRUM SMART TECHNOLOGY

The included Spektrum DX3 Smart transmitter, SR515 5 channel receiver, and Firma 70A Smart ESC are ready to deliver the telemetry advantages of Smart technology. Install a Spektrum Smart LiPo battery and you’ll be able to follow vehicle battery capacity on the transmitter's voltage level indicator.

IS10 INTERNAL SPRING SHOCKS

The Gilamon features all-new, aluminum body, internal spring IS10 shocks that increase ground clearance and scale realism. Its smooth, high-flex 4-link suspension geometry reduces the effects of torque twist and provides consistent articulation without the bump steer found in 3-link designs.

LED ROCK LIGHTS

For nighttime crawling, preinstalled LED rock lights illuminate each wheel. Housed in rugged cases, the bright LEDs are clamped to the cage, which allows the lights to be moved. Multiple colors add clarity for crawling and style.

WB12 DRIVESHAFTS

Heavy-duty WB12 front and rear driveshafts offer the durability needed to withstand the abuse of crawling over rocks and rugged trails.

OFFICIALLY LICENSED MICKEY THOMPSON TIRES

The Gilamon rides on 5.5 inch tall, officially licensed Mickey Thompson Baja Boss M/T 2.2 tires. They look authentic and supply the aggressive traction needed to climb over and conquer any obstacle.

OFFICIALLY LICENSED RACELINE AVENGER 2.2 WHEELS

The classic 8-spoke design of these officially licensed Raceline Avenger 2.2 wheels adds to the Gilamon rig’s authentic scale trail buggy looks.
