Think 2 years ago,you could buy one today, but no Amazon doesn't sale that particular jeep😮
@georgiahertzler9403 Yeah that's why I but them from either my LHS or Horizon Hobby.
I have one of these just got it 3 days ago and I'm telling y'all it's a game changer for me. Love the very smooth slow crawl I will be adding copper hubs and axel covers and also will be putting a winch on it as well LEDs on the rear for reverse lighting. Out of the box it's a winner for me 8 out of 10. Also maybe a better motor brushless maybe 🤔 I'll do my research first for sure.
@chrisholden9777 I felt the same way especially after owning the Gen 1's since the beginning. I'm still rocking the stock system. Got some brass in the right areas and next up, I found some inner fenders and rock lights I'm going to install. That's been on the todo list for a bit😊
Also I did put BB's in each shock holes. That also added a little weight as well. If you look at the bottom of the shock there is a hole there nothing else I could find fit in there so I tried BB's and it worked perfectly. Brass BB's to. Just thought 🤔 I'd throw that out there
Great video Neal! Very informative. Glad to see I didn’t miss out on much with the 1st version! I’m very happy with mine! I’m liking your mini course. I’ve been thinking about making something myself! 🤔😊✌️👍
@EVERYDAY RC Thanks Chris! Go for it man! It's not much to do and you will be happy with the result.
Never tested the SWB ones, but I'm loving the slow speed and LWB of my Tan Gladiator. No disappointments with this Lil rig!
@BlackSmith RC I'm enjoying this little thing too. I know Horizon Hobby updated the ESC in the SWB too. So the modulation should be the same. Only issue is making sure you are getting new stock from the LHS.
If you want slower control, turn on the Rx, hold channel 4 button, turn wheel counter clockwise and turn on the Tx. It's called beginner mode. Repeat again to put into advanced mode.
@Extra Ordinary Great tip. It's like the two speed the gen 1 controllers had.
WOW DUDE
Like #1 good video as always bruh 🤴🏾🔥💯
@CoachD RC Thanks Coach! Always appreciate the support fam💪💯🔥
I sure think mines better than all my other scx24 stock models! So much smoother. Remove the tent and it’s good bit less tippy
@The Jeepin’ Realtor I'm aching not to remove the tent. I added some weight down low and took if for a quick test, much better. Got to put it on the course and see how much improvement though.
Gamechanger is exactly what I thought after just a few minutes of driving. I agree about the transmitter though. Feels cheap. I got over it quick though 😂
@The Jeepin’ Realtor Me too😆 I went as far as getting this esc for the Panda Hobby 24 and what an improvement.
Nice! Got the same one but I gotta say it looks the best!
@Mondo Guajt Plus I heard the blue one crawls better😊
awesome rc and test run brother
@Island RC -Duke Thanks Duke👍
@@ReadySetRC 😁👍
Just got my first crawler. Scx24 bronco so I have experience with the older scx24’s. But right off the bat I thought it felt really smooth.
@woodie I put that ESC in some of my other RC's too.
Yep! Gonna be my first crawler!
@Ben Varley Nice little crawler straight out of the box.
@@ReadySetRC had a traxxis rustler (brushed) but never had anywhere to drive it, so i sold it.
Been 6 years or so.
awesome
@Jerc Sgn Thank you👍
Looks like the longer WB will make it climb up hills better... I do like the speed switch on the old radio it's good for filming also.
@Shen RC That LWB and the new esc such an improvement. You thinking about getting one of these?
You can put the new ones into "beginner" mode which make them slower and more controlled. Turn on the truck, the while holding the channel 4 button and counterclockwise on the wheel, turn on the remote. Repeated to put back into "advanced" mode.
I recommend taking that bumper off. I just took it off and left the mount. Exponentially improves the approach angle.
@The_Car_Guy Actually if you want to keep the bumper and the lights, just flip the bumper around. Improves the approach angle by a lot and still keep the looks.
I flipped my mount over then flipped the bumper to match and now its way better plus the bumper doesn't sag like it used to
Totally disagree about the gladiators transmitter. In my opinion it’s the best yet and that seems to be the feedback from others I know who own both. Great video though👍🏻
@chris gorman Thanks man! IDK I like the knobs for setting D/R and steering better plus the steering is in a better position for one handed driving on the old controller. I guess with the better modulation you don't need a L/M/H switch but I was so used to it. Maybe I'll grow to like it more.
I have the same issue with the top coming down and stand closed where it doesn't look funky trying to figure out how to fix
@Furyss1 TV I flipped the bumper and looks a lot better also should help the approach angle. I also raised the body mount a couple notches and it was able to latch on the velcro. I would say I could shave the front grill a tad but I'm trying to resist😊
@@ReadySetRC I trimmed mine very slightly and it's perfect now
How come the Axial website is referring the transmitter as a 2-channel radio?
@L Y Bad marketing😆 My guess the person that did the write up didn't actually look at the product. Not even the first system was 2 channel so it's not like they took the wording from the old write up.
are you sure that only ESC was upgraded, could there be gear ratio change too?
@Nick Lame Just the ESC. Transmission is the same from the original. I've swapped only this ESC in other RC's and the performance is a drastic change.
I've noticed my gladiator has amazing slow crawl.... And throttle is super responsive.... Kind like everything I've heard about the furitek.... 🤔
@T Quinn Gotta love this new ESC. I threw in the Injora 66T motor to give me a little extra power. Need to try it on the test course next.
Got some $ for my birthday migjt have to get one.. I didn't even know about the gladiator till now..
I got a pretty modified swb jeep.. I was actually showing someone it last night.. only thing that's stock is the driveshafts and esc/motor 🤣 🤣 🤣
@JT Marshall That new esc is so smooth. Worth a look.
If I was buying my first scx24 would I be better off buying the new longer wheelbase one or original shorter wheelbase?
@willeymunda It all depends, are you driving this for fun or a comp? For me I don't comp, I like driving around on my course or taking it out in the backyard so the longer wheelbase is not an issue. But if you prefer the SWB Jeep, just make sure it is the one with the updated esc. The slow control is night and day.
@@ReadySetRC arrr excellent I did see that there was two versions of the yellow one but didn't know why C-AXI00002V2T2 & AXI00002T2
@@ReadySetRC so does the v2 of the yellow Jeep have the same esc as the new longer wheelbase scx24? Therefore giving it the slow control too?
@@willeymunda That V2 has the updated ESC/receiver and transmitter, giving you the low throttle control.
@@ReadySetRC I like the look and sound of the JLU v2 which has the new esc too
What do you prefer gladiator or wrangler
@Charlie Wilson For me I like the Gladiator. I'm not s comp guy so the longer wheelbase helps on my course.
Chicagolandrc can hook you up with some hot racing parts
@dan bochnak Hey Dan, what you thinking? I got Treal wheels and brass diff cover for it now.
I'm thinking the center of gravity is kind of too high. It tips over a bit too easily.
@CheeseScout I agree, needs a little weight down low. I posted a brass video adding brass turnbuckles but I previously added new wheels with brass rings.
@@ReadySetRC I was pretty happy with the CK, but I think the additional details made this Gladiator too heavy on the top. It isn't necessary to add the brass differential cover on the CK but more necessary on this one
you said sticker and i new it was better
