The Scxiii Gladiator is another beast. With some upgrades you have very capable rig. I have a Gspeed rig and this Gladiator can follow some challenging lines, very impressed.

excellent light hearted review, good to see and hope you heal up well F. I’ve got a Gladiator and done quite a bit. It has a HW 2300 540 and Flysky GT5 which is a great combo, vitavon portal covers f&r and a short Gens Ace 4300. With 50wt in all shocks i’d say it out performs my pals trx defender or is at least on par. Will be very interesting to see the head to head! oh also put the 1:7 reduction gears from axial in, top speed is now 3.4mph!

The Gladiator is the best and Just ordered one myself and its a great rock crawler!!

after watching your videos on axial scx10 ii and iii comparison, i decided to go with scx10 ii builder's kit since it was on sale for 200 CAD in amazon.

First upgrades recommendations: Tires and dual stage foam 60wt shock oil Change the spring: Green rear and Yellow front Portal brass cover 2200mah battery in the front tray Enjoy it!

Hope they do a kit version

Ok I bought one as soon as my local got one in. It looks great. Performance is ok. Out of the box it doesn’t climb well, has horrible torque twist, body is a pain it the but to put back on. You will need a battery plug adapter if you have T style batteries ( Deans). Poor dig servo. The stock tires look nice but the stock foams are way too stiff. I put 50 w in my rear shocks. Fixed torque twist. Dig servo burnt up 3rd day I used. I replaced my tires with Proline Hyrax and added some old fashioned wheel weights. Now it crawls like it should. I removed all the inner fenders now body is a bit easier to put back on. Overall it looks good but the SCX10-2 out wheels the 3 right out of the box. Only reason I bought on is I have a real Gladiator Rubicon. My lightly modified Trailwalker still out wheels the SXC10-3’s.

the solution is to simply set the end points immediately which can be done with the dx3. I propose the sx107 is no worse than any other servo, it’s the lack of end point setting from factory that kills them.

My original dig servo (SX107) went up in smoke, only to discover that it was set up with direction of travel and end points not correct. Replaced with another SX107 given to me by my lhs where I bought my rtr from(good service, buy local) and got another for the 2 speed. Been using them a lot for a while now and they work great. Using a DX5C for the transmitter so I can have full functionality. Great review as always, your channel is where I go before I buy.

The body looks really good but still can't buy it because of the their stupid decision to not include both dig and two speed transmission automatically set up when you buy it.

There is no difference between this and the Jeep Wrangler. They are both SCX10 III except the wheel base is longer. The only thing better is probably the body. Sorry, the TRX4 is still the better in every aspects.
