It's a bummer they cancelled the Ch2 in the new ESC, so Furitek and similars can no longer plug in the original electronics! I think it's important to mention that change!!
Are the lipos safe to handle for beginners and casual rc fans though? Everyone on rc forums keep saying you need special balance chargers etc and fireproof bags when charging yet these are shipped with simple usb chargers and no other safety precautions or instructions!
just bought mine and motor went out after 20 minutes of use id definitely upgrade the motor first thing, but im excited i love these little trucks going to build one out as a hobby, my next crawler is definitely going to be the trx4m
Finally got mine! ANYONE complaining about the tiny price increase on these is nuts. Even without the longer wheelbase, scale details, etc, the new radio and speed controller etc is a HUGE improvement!
Hey guys! Have you seen the 32g brass 16spoke wheels from Jazrider yet? got some and they added 80grams over the other wheels, also have you used the GoodYear Wranger MT's yet cause they are so sticky, run sealed with no foam and do they grab :)
That looks wicked!! Love the longer wheelbase! Gotta love a Gladiator Body and the added accessories. Really like the velcro, as you said those little clips are great for stabbing under your finger nails..LoL Thanks for sharing 👍 Will this go BL?
I'm liking this! I keep asking my local RadioShack when they'll be in. I have the Deadbolt but I did the four link conversion on it to extend the length and put it on a 3D printed frame from SKP Engineering. Brass wheel spacers and brass knuckles. Upgraded the servo with the EMax ES08MDii. I have the RC4WD Mud Slingers 2.4" tires on RC4WD wagon wheels flipped around. I still haven't upgraded the motor, but it's going well so far. I've got video of it on my neighbor's track. My Chevy I only replaced the frame with a carbon fiber one, the servo, Hot Racing shocks and EMax ES08MDii servo. Some cheap, fancier wheels and tires.
Love your enthusiasm, but as with most guys into RC crawling, it seems you expect to jump in your Landrovers/Jeeps and are disappointed if you fail to drive straight over your house? It's just not the expectation of scale & reality.
Just saw this in the hobby store today. It's looks better in real life, vids don't do it justice. The blue would be my choice. The extras make for a good value over the previous models. Well, if you want the extras.
I have Deadbolt and was about to purchase a C10 then this Gladiator was released. I'm in the UK so I now have a Gladiator on order so I can't wait to see the improvements you guys make. I really enjoy your vids keep up the good work guys 👍🏴
Pro Tip: If you have a SCX24 Deadbolt specifically, attach the body clips to roll cage when not in use so you don't lose them. Two of the bars on top are thin enough to comfortably snap those clips onto.
Yup bought mine on Saturday. I too put the hyrax on the truck. I'll have to get the rims though. Put new shocks on it too. I'm not going to go over board on the upgrades. Good little truck.
They should have maybe left the accessories as an aftermarket option. That would maybe keep the price closer to the other versions and make it less top heavy.
Great video as always Francis. I’m really digging this new mini, but it highlights one of the weakest points of the platform, the steering. Does anyone have a fix to get more angle from these trucks? Even my C-10 struggles to make tight turns with an Ecopower servo installed.
@@Roadnuts86 fury tech makes an ESC with big bec for those crawler that you can run high voltage servos on. You need a transmitter where you can actually set the endpoints and then you can only turn it though is much as the linkage in the car will physically allow you to turn.
@@metalmulishaz123 appreciate the info. I do have a furitek on the way, but I was hoping to be able to get more steering angle out of the stock electrics but with a linkage change. Something more budget friendly!
@@Roadnuts86 yeah as far as the play in the front steering one of the first things I purchased was some metal front steering links and haven't had any issues with slap in the steering sense.
I don't even like Gladiators yet can't resist this one. I think the long wheelbase and the scale accessories really do it for me. I'm hoping Axial comes out with different bodies on this chassis soon.
When we getting 1/24 winches? lol
They are already out. Reefs makes a micro winch. Several videos out of people adding them to the SCX24S

The gladiator is a killer little rig. I got mine on Thursday and had a bunch of Treal parts for another rig nut put them on the gladiator. 🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍

I like metal wheels but one thing i dont like is it makes the truck feel sluggish but i mean u are gonna upgrade the motor anyway right
A new brother for my SCX 24 Wrangler aka the "yellow spider ".

Good to see Neal. Good video!

One of the best choices on that scale

You’re the MTBR guy! I like that channel too.
i wish my dad would get interested in rc. you two are lucky.
Thanks boys

the running footage was fun as always, really looking forward to the upcoming videos!
Loving my 1/24th gladiator! Btw does Neal have a channel?
No youtube. Just instagram instagram.com/rc_iamnmd/
@@RCReviewChannel Right on, thank you and happy crawling.
Muy buenas noches , se ve muy bien el vehiculo y el precio es bueno , una buena opcion a un bajo costo , muchas gracias Sr y al joven exitos

We have a fix for the slop and it's coming in the next video
@@RCReviewChannel slop I’ve fixed. I need more angle!

Wait til you see Neil's modded one.
I’m from Australia how can I get one of these
That would be a great truck for the kids to use
I’ve been waiting for your video on this!
Great video ! I've seen 4 videos so far that don't come close to this one . Now I want one .
What kind of wheel you run on your hyrax tire :)?
This is perfect for a trailer set up.
Thanks for review…👏🏾
Our pleasure!
