Question for anyone to answer, I'm a long time RC enthusiast, with many years in racing and bashing. I've recently considered getting into the crawling game, and was looking for an honest unbiased opinion between the TRX-4 and the Axial scx 10 III. Thanks in advanced
Well BOTH are amazing vehicles my friend..and both manufacturers have similar setups. Im sure many people will chime in here.. (I cant pick a favourite.. they both kick some serious trail!) #TeamRCSparks!
Tbh man I would go with axial scx 10iii Bc back wheels can lock got portal axles so lots of clearance not top heavy like the trx got metal links and etc.
Thank you guys for the feed back. I do like the idea of the dig feature on the axial. I think I'll have to check them out in person and make my decision. Thanks again
Honestly both are great rigs own both but hands down the trx4 has handled way more abuse vs my 10.iii witch broke front axle.in first week and was stock my trx4 has been 3s brushless for over 2 years and takes everything even brutal abuse with high kv motor for fun when bored but mainly use 1250kv tenshock 6 pile crawler motor i own 6 trx4 4 axial truck 1 carisma 2 cross rc 2 gmade just to list a few crawlers in my possession if you want a light trx4 gwt the sport builders kit and the 2 speed transmission kit and you will never be disappointed with it
Hey Medic! I work in a hobby shop, so I figured I'd give you a heads-up to look in the portals, the ring and pinion, and in some cases the transmission. A lot of the gladiators were shipped without grease on the gears. Yours sounds like many of the ones I've come across.
Followed your channel since 2008 . Owned the original scx10 and decided to get the gladiator after watching your unboxing video. Loving it so far. Also from the best city in the world cow town as we call it.
The "Treep"....classic 😂😂 I didn't like them when they were first introduced, but they're kind of like a mole, they grow on ya over time...so I'm kinda liking them more and more. As far as an everyday driver, I'm digging that old, what, '51? Ford you have there 😁
Now Sparks, you know my story. I'm just sitting here down in Tennessee at the old folks home...haven't owned or played with any RC cars and trucks since the 80's.... hell no, not the 1880's.. but after trying HO trains, golf,fishing etc.,RC is by far the best hobby I ever had. Tried the grandson on some toy RC cars but he absolutely destroys them in a matter of hours. All my RC's were Associated kits but I always liked the Losi RTR Trucks so maybe I might try and pick him up something like that and see how long it last. Man, I sure hope your back is getting a little better every day. Caught your last video with Lyle trail riding in the woods ( if you remember I said that spot looked just like Tennessee ) so tell him I missed him in today's video. That jeeps pretty damn cool.Take care and I'll catch you next time.😎🇺🇸
I like the goat busters sticker. Nice to see the rocks moved around new challenging lines. I use mud slingers, tsl swappers, I rocks, even the old gmade bighorns, trepador, Mickey Thompson Baja claw and the J concepts renegades.
Having bought a 2nd hand Gmade R1 at the beginning of lock-down, here in the UK, i was planning on getting a Komodo as something more scale. But the won a TRX4 Sport in a raffle on Facebook, and I have to say, its awesome. I took my 7 year old out last weekend, and the stock (apart from cut tyre's) TRX4 was so much more capable than the R1, I think I need to spend some more cash on metal beadlocks and better tyre's as a start!! As for my favorite, as long as I'm having fun, who gives a rats? The smile on my sons face made it worth while. What he doesn't know yet, is hes getting an FTX Mauler as first car of his own for his birthday in a few weeks. :) Love the new rock section. Youre so lucky to be able to walk out of your door, and have that, literally, on your doorstep. Take care all
I always like watching when you go for a run on your rock course.. I hope they come out with a kit really want the Gladiator And favorite question at the end a full size Gladiator would be pretty sweet but that old school rig would be sweeter😁
Awesome, wish I needed equipment to move my rock course around...I get by with a shovel and a wheel barrel..lol. Prayers for your health, feel better soon
Man that remote control loader is bad to the bone!!! Gladiator is looking really great.... I’m hoping to get one soon. I did however make a home brew 1/24 scale Jeep Gladiator.... even has a little winch hahaha thanks for all the inspiration you have passed on to me 🤜🏻🤛🏼
I always remembering that to waterproof an rc the best way was a sandwiched box. electronics are so cool know and yes you do make my day better. thank you
I absolutely love the gladiator. And axial looks like they did it right. 3rd times a charm lol. I have an og scx10 on austar punmatic 2.2s duel shocks 2in lift with drop basket for driveline. I havent been able to drive all summer because of very cheap servo and 25 tooth servo horn. But my boy has a backwoods truck he loves. The adventure of rc is always out there. Love your show love your people. Keep it up medic.
My first Crawler is a Redcat Gen8 Axe edition. So far, it has been everything I wanted ( tough out of the box, no immediate upgrades needed ), and I have been trying to break it on our new course. It has not failed me yet.
I love rc crawling. And I DO own full size 4x4s in fact I own a 1983 Jeep cj7 and a 1989 ford ranger 4x4 and I own a 2007 toyota sequoia 4x4 and I take them all off roading. It's a blast especially when your done playing in the mud with the big toys and pull out the rc version and keep on playing in the mud. Lol
I love this modell from axial. 😍 I'm thinking of wishing this track for Christmas and I hope to get it too. 🎄 Greetings Andy from Modellbau-Kanal.de 🇩🇪
Some good ole relaxing forget about the worlds problems for a moment RC FUN! Love it brother! Rock crawling is real popular here where I live because its one of the more affordable RC sides you can get into. Love the course! Nice work! 🤝
If I ever get back on track with funds, i think this will be my FIRST rc at age 43...Hopeful for that "someday" hahaha..soon I bet but till then you are my outlet hahaha...Thanks for the show.
Hey buddy love the new rock layout tons of wicked lines! I really like the new gladiator I would get one in real life if I could afford one. I really like the Proline 1.9 Hyrax class 1 tire.
Always love to see you on your rock course or obstacle course. Keep taking care of yourself bud, looking forward to many more years of RCSparks content. Gladiator as a daily driver and an older truck as a weekend project vehicle.
Man you are sooo lucky to have the ranch to do all of that with. As for that Gladiator I can't even come up with a name for it, but LOVIN the Goshtbusters 2 decal on the roof
I love to crawl that course!! Like that jeep..may need to get 1!! My main crawl is Axail scx1.& I'm running at least 7yr old Axail Ripsaws!! Best tire I found,& couldn't afford ,ithink last set on planet..but mine are doing fine!!
Anybody want to see a new edge bronco body on the trails!?! Hey Aaron, nice to meet another Aaron 😁, big fan of the youtube gold series. Wish you and the wife well. Lil luv from the southern states.
Love what Axial is doing mechanically with these 3rd gen rigs though. Bravo! They don’t seem to need much as far as upgrades out of the box as version 1 and 2. Visually the sky is the limit of course lol.
I'm building myself an International scout ii for my first vehicle, I'm combining two to make a nice one. It'll be a 4 speed with a nissan Turbo diesel. So of course I had to get the redcat gen 8 axe. I also was able to get some of my friends to finally get an rc trail truck. So now I actually have someone to go crawling with. Thanks for the awesome Video Medic. ;)
That's what's nice about rock piles, you can rearrange them in a countless ways. I just found a landscaping supply co that have all kinds of rocks and I'm getting more. I like using proline tsl swamper tires for crawling.
Another AWESOME RC ADVENTURES video!!!! Thank you Medic! Glad to see you out and moving around. I love the Gladiator version of the SCX10.III. This is going to be my next RC purchase. I actually wonder if Axial is going to release a kit version of the Gladiator?🤔 I love 1:1 Wrangler as well as my 1:10 crawlers. They both have their purpose and time.
I wany the RC skidsteer!!!! The fun would be endless!!!! I swap between ottsix KLR-Ms, Hyrax, Landmines, or Modified Traxxas stockers. They all work great. We have 5 jeeps and I love them all.
I use the same mud slingers but you're right for trail I like the Duratrax Deep Woods then I only crawl if something's in my way I love trails, mudd sand I'm gonna go play in my backyard, yeah I put 100mm shocks on all my axial rigs I have axial JLU, Gladiator, Cherokee, 69' Chevy K5 blazer, 1980 K5 blazer, 2014 Chevy HD crewcab, 6x6 UMG, redcat gen8 axe, Wendigo with a 67' chevy C10 body, Traxxas TRX4 Mercedes Benz g500 and Defender I think that's it for trail trucks thank's for sharing Medic take care 😎👍
I have 2.2 Mudslingers on the same wheels you have actually! LOL! I only have 1 crawler as well. Love the RC skidsteer!! Awesome crawling! I am starting to like that Gladiator body, even though I dislike Jeeps. Keep on truckin buddy!
when I was 16. the nt before I took my driving test to get my license i practiced parallel parking w my rc to get the concept of what to do in a real car
A great vid. Just bought the Gladiator as an upgrade from the SCX24 - Looks like i have a lot more capability / learning and fun in my future. Great run !
Awesome video, I’m currently waiting for my scx10 111 gladiator to come in the mail, most people go with the red, so I chose the gray , already enjoy my trx4 blazer, so much fun, installed the 1 inch lift kit from traxxas, and the light bar kit, and currently run, 2.2 pit bull rockbeast 2 tires, and sometimes rotate to the 2.2 mudslingers .
I'm loving that truck! I run proline TSL Swampers on my 82 pinched and bobbed Chevy on SCX10-II chassis and I'm fixing to put proline TSL Boggers on gen 8 axe.

Hey bud! Hope you're doing alright. Haven't been this early in a long time but it's always nice to catch it early! Keep up the great work
Yeah I love the old 48 Chevy in the background Your project spin tire you had was Awesome👍😎🇺🇲
I love the ghostbusters sticker on the roof :D
Roof, but yeah. It's pretty cool.
Been out of the hobby for 2 years just bought a gladiator and I’m pumped. I love mudslingers they are my go to tire.
Hey Medic! I work in a hobby shop, so I figured I'd give you a heads-up to look in the portals, the ring and pinion, and in some cases the transmission. A lot of the gladiators were shipped without grease on the gears. Yours sounds like many of the ones I've come across.
I'm going to purchase one soon. Do they still have this problem? Or have they fixed it with the newer ones?
@@travishoppins2816 I don't know. It's always a good idea to inspect a new truck anyways however.
@@Snowtrails11 alright thank you
Followed your channel since 2008 . Owned the original scx10 and decided to get the gladiator after watching your unboxing video. Loving it so far. Also from the best city in the world cow town as we call it.
Hey Medic! I love the TRX 4 Blazer brings me back to the old days of driving the real K5 full size Blazer on back roads and trails!🤔😉😎👍
The "Treep"....classic 😂😂 I didn't like them when they were first introduced, but they're kind of like a mole, they grow on ya over time...so I'm kinda liking them more and more. As far as an everyday driver, I'm digging that old, what, '51? Ford you have there 😁
Great video and crawling area. Keep up the fun shows. Between the wrenching and the fun makes it a good break from life.
I was parked next to an exact full size red gladiator yesterday, & all I could think about was the RC jeep gladiator
Truck is too cool. Have a blessed evening.
