Hey! Thanks for subscribing and welcome to the channel. Congrats on the Gladiator, I enjoy mine. Plenty of RC content here to go back and watch. Take care.
I'm not sure if it's the front sitting high as much as the back is sagging from the weight. I have a previous version blue Gladiator. I put in the new Pro Line big bore 40mm shocks (PRO6387-00 on Amain). The rear sagged majorly, but the shocks come with a set of hard springs. I switched the rear springs to hard, and it solved all of my problems. I wondered if Axial was going to botch the Gladiator oil filled shocks since it doesn't seem like they sell different rear oil filled shocks made for the Gladiator. The older Gladiator with its friction dampers had stiffer springs in the rear. They still sell Gladiator friction dampers, too. So why not Gladiator oil filled shocks?
@@toeshifter I was just curious because I see videos on here of people driving them completely under water but for short periods of time. I had an axial 1/18 similar to the capra several years back and always drove it under water and had no problems until I took it to the beach. I just bought an axial 1/18 capra last week and already killed the battery. I left the battery in the rc turned on overnight and now my charger won't charge the battery. Do you know if the 1/18 Capra can be submerged in water? Thanks for you quick response! I did subscribe to your channel!
Honestly in todays world I feel that its just easier not to for most people. Surprising to me but I dont think people are putting the RUclips App on their smart TV's. The majority of my views are taking place on a cell phone. When the cell phone gets flipped to landscape mode all of the interaction functions get removed from the screen. Personally I watch zero RUclips on my phone. Its all on a TV or computer. Thanks for the comment.

All great points. Thanks for the information.
Can you drive this in water?
@@TheWildcat626 it could drive through very shallow water. Nothing deeper than the tire. You do not want to get the electronics wet.

@ I don’t think any of them can be submerged except for Traxxas. Full waterproof
Not sure why that is, but I’ve heard this from a lot of channels, R/C or otherwise. I’m not sure if people forget to subscribe or just don’t want to.
