I'm very excited to have the new Axial SCX10III Jeep Gladiator here in the workshop! I take a first look, describe the differences between the RTR models, and the Kit, and start my first round of upgrades to make it the Ultimate Gladiator! In Stage 1, I tackle some mechanical upgrades, and add some weight down low to help compensate for the portal axles!

Your videos are what have inspired me that scale rock crawlers need to be my next hobby. Paint up a small version of my 97 Jeep TJ!

First time RC owner. Had my JT RTR for a few months now. Have not been a RU-vid user so it sat around after that WTF moment when I realized this was not the plug & play I hoped it would be. These videos are a great help. Just took it into the backyard and put it and myself through the paces. Thanks for the ideas and suggestions.

@squarepantsist 3 года назад

This is going to be a great series! Love mine and have already gone for vitavon brass portal covers X4 and ali panhard, Knight Customs fenders, sliders and some other accessories, HW 540 2300kv with FS GT5 and cant get over how enjoyable it is to pilot and how capable it is on the Welsh mountains. Still awaiting Ottsix Baby Faces to arrive from the US. 50wt oil has made a great improvement to technical trailing/climbing and given more support to the heavy ish body. Really looking forward to seeing the project develop Matt, after a warm but not hot initial reaction to its release it quickly seems to have become a really well rated truck; and it climbs like an absolute goat! Look forward to the next episode

For a motor, i would highly suggest the 1200kv hobbywing fusion, i know you dont like wheel speed as much as some but its so smooth and just the perfect amount of speed on 3s.

Great video Matt I got the Black version, l got rc4wd mud slingers and RC Lions aluminum beadlocks I ordered the same portal upgrades this is my 3rd scx10iii, the kit has a 2014 Chevy Silverado crewcab on it and the rtr JLU got the personalised clear body, bummer you didn't get the baseball hat, see ya next upgrade 😎👍

I just subscribed to ur channel today because I just bought my jeep Gladiator and tell u I'm very happy I haven't even run iit yet so I'm more happy to know ur upgrades I can't wait to upgrade mines slow I have the red one its awesome especially tha cowboy the driver

@toddnothstine 2 года назад

I installed Club5Racing's EZOFF hinge and magnet system on my Gladiator. Now the body just tilts up out of the way like it does on the stock 1/24 Gladiator. And no more screwing with those awful body clips! Highly recommend. And if you need the body completely removed for working on the truck, it comes off with a couple easy screws at the rear.

@scalebuildersguild 2 года назад

Sounds good, I'll have to check that out!

@Snowtrails11 3 года назад

I love my JT but I swapped to the 2 speed setup. I was immediately disappointed as the difference in gearing is not enough to use it more often. I then dropped the pinion a couple teeth to hopefully make more use of it since I run 3s.

Why nut take a few measurements and run to the lap top, then rhn to the 3-D printer and print out the lights bucket with a lip or tongue/groove - 2 sided tape fixture to the stock fender. Keep strength, have light bucket and a new income stream lol... 🤔 😁 Love SBG!!!

@MrKongpvu 3 года назад

When you said there is some difference of the RTR from the kit version where you only talking about the JLU vs JT? I was under the impression that the JLU was exactly the same as the kit and no parts were subbed for the RTR.

Hey I just stopped watching and went searching for overdrive portal gears for trx4. I didn’t find anything.

down pinion gear from 14 to 12, i use traxxax 32 p hardened steel one, much better performance and smoothness

@pwrofgrayskull 9 месяцев назад

With the more aggressive offset (looks much better), did you have any rubbing issues with the tire at the lower rear of the front wheelwells when crawling? If so, what was your resolution? I’m working on getting mine set up with new wheels/tires and want to get much more aggressive with the offset, but at the same time I want to not rub when out on the rocks.

@scalebuildersguild 9 месяцев назад

A little, but you can offset the rub with a longer shock. A lot depends on how wide your offset is!

@153rubicon 3 года назад

What how much wider is the ssd brake rotor kit you put on ? ssd has 3 different offset options

I'm looking into this rig and you mentioned it has a 13.9 inch wheelbase. But on the axial website it says it has a 14 inch wheelbase and includes a larger more realistic 3 piece body. Do you know if there's a newer version of the gladiator?

@scalebuildersguild Год назад

13.9 and 14 are basically the same, maybe they rounded up? Thanks for watching!
