Great video. Had been thinking the longer wheelbase would help, and you showed that to be the case. Now if Axial can offer a Gladiator kit so we can build it brushless from the start, that would be awesome.
Very true. I’ll try and fit a powerful brushed motor
Got the grey one and made a half inch cut on the inside of the tires then filled them with BBs after removing the foams. It climbs up everything now.👍
Excellent Video and discussion. I just brought home a red Gladiator and can't wait to see how it does on my rock hill.
Awesome videos, thank you for these comparisons and for your channel!
Thanks for the comparison, Ive been wanting to see an even test between these two. Thanks for always delivering solid content.
My pleasure!
Wow, your channel is pure gold. Thank you so much!
Wow, thank you!
Cool comparison ! That is a crawlers paradise .
Been waiting all week for this video. Awesome to see the gladiator perform the way it did. Because of you I put the hobbywing fusion 2in1 in mine and I'm extremely happy with it. My dig servo burnt out not even 5 minutes after driving mine.
Can't wait for the next video gladiator vs bronco
Break out your TRX4 Blazer 😍 I wanna see it go against something Love the channel
Thank you so much for posting a video!! I’ve been tryna find one about them both stock
Glad I could help!
Shoutout from South Africa-loving your stuff.
Thank You For Your Videos! Just Ordered A Gladiator!
Another great video!! I know I'll end up with that gladiator eventually.
Great truck just be prepared to buy a new dog servo right off the bat
Great comparison 👌 on these two latest Axial crawlers , shame your dig feature pooped the bed first drive out . Qaulity control seems to be an issue as of late , not surprising I guess due to Global Health issues that most definitely is affecting manufactured goods in our RC world too .
Cheers 🥂 Great job , love your always informative video content.
Tc my friend , looking forward to a next installment.
Stay safe Everyone, an RC on !! 😎
Great video, thanks for have this great channel, hi from Costa Rica 🇨🇷🇺🇸🤜🏻🤛🏻
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing.
Both look great. I’m looking forward to seeing what Axial puts out next.
You and me both!
I set my end points on dig. Went full max and backed it of just barely. Have noticed it would definitely benefit from a stronger servo. I did finally get my replacement Transmitter and was able to take it out and run it. Definitely top heavy on the side hill. But climbs like a mountain goat can't wait to put some decent tires on it.
Very nice and entertaining video as usual Francis! I am waiting for a replacement servo for the DIG on my gladiator from Horizon. I heard that the EPAs are not adjusted from the factory which causes them to burn out so quickly. BigHead RC has a video on how to adjust the EPA's on the stock dx3 radio to prevent this from happening. Waiting to test this out. Hopefully it will solve the annoying problem to an otherwise nice little truck.
Well I’m surprised. Expected the more compact and lighter Wrangler would do better!
The axial won, thats great news, you did a great job
Heavyweight vs.Lightweight , needs softer foam tires, bouncy shocks, can get a big push over that ridgeline, without tumbling over, might be something, that always find a solution for very tough climb.
I got confused. :)
Just ordered mine. Im excited to get my gladiator
Great vid Fran!!! Ok I will get the gladiator!!!
Do you guys know that it has a selection on the remote to slow th reverse down and make it go alot slower down hill
Very nice video! 👍
I like both of those trucks. I'm probably going to get the kit version. You should do a video with an scx10iii with a different body and axle brass.
i think the wrangler is a great truck, it just might be better suited if there is more things to grab with the tires. like i the trails, it may do better due to twigs and leaves for added traction
What do you run 2s or 3s on those scx10iiis
Can you make a video fixing the turning radius
They need to do a recall on these Dig servos. 😂 enjoy the video
Great video :-) Any fix for the steering? It turns more to one side than the other because the servo arm hits the panhead?
You mentioned that end points of dig servo aren't adjustable but I have just looked over the manual and it gives instructions on how to make the 3rd channel a 2, 3 and 4 position switch as well as end points. Granted that it should be set correctly from the box though. As I've heard of a few having this issue I would advise anyone buying an Axial rtr with dig installed to re-set or check when unboxing and before using.
Cheers 👍
Thank you. Will look it up. I wonder how it's adjusted since there's no screen or knobs. I hope it's not through beeps.
@@RCReviewChannel unfortunately yes... the beauty of owning upgraded spektrum radio i guess. 👍
Very cool Francis big like
Glad I bought both scx10iiis
Can the left hand stirring issue be fixed?
nice video buddy good job👍 i see there is nothing diffrence between them is same like traxxas gclass 500 6x6 and 4x4 is same but look if you want to compare you have to compare between traxxas gclass 6x6 and gladiator here is the test my mate do not compare 2 cars of the same company
thx 4 sharing beautiful video
peace.👊
Excellent video👌👌👌👍
Thanks for the visit
Here’s a video on how to set end points on the dig. ruclips.net/video/P5ghO-AcGmU/видео.html
Really a great video and comparison !!
Wheelbase is important as the low centre of gravity and weight on the front: the more wheelbase is long, the low is the centre of gravity, the more the weight is on the front...the best you can crawl ascending (descending may be affected from front weight).
the wrangler just looks better IMO
Stellar review my friend
thank you.
Would there be any chance to test DF J-4 10 year universary crawler? I love your coments, but never got eny reviews for DF products. We would realy apreciate in out town, because at my place DF models are selling regulary.
Ahh, we don't see that here in the US normally.
Is that rock concrete park for rc crawlers?
It was a waterfall, creek feature developed before park managers realized California is a drought area.
Thanks for this entertaining and informative comparison!
Were the ESCs set in stock programmings?
Greetings from Germany,
Hilmar.
They are both modified to these settings ruclips.net/video/uU_wgX5weq8/видео.html
@@RCReviewChannel Okay, that was exactly what I thought. Thank you for your answer! 👍
Was your WRANGLER the kit version or ready to run? So if it was a kit then are you using same remote reciever and motor and esc?
Well its a $519 rtr kit by axial with a micro dig servo problem... Just gotta fix or upgrade the micro servo by ourselves
rc is good. a place to play Rc is cool. Full of passionate challenges Keep friends Make the video. I Love to see your videos
Would love to see a video on the new pro line trenchers.
Will check it out.
Mine burnt out on first run😂
Hey Francis what is your thoughts on the gen8 v2
Hope he will do a review
It addresses the 5 common complaints and problems. It doesn't innovate at all though and that is disappointing.
The clear windows are cool but the two color options are not. Should have gone with more realistic bronco colors.
Where is this place though? Are you
From san diego?
Try some Jato rod ends in the SCX 10 lll. Add some wheel base.
Wonder why the wrangler is slightly more expensive than the Gladiator?
Yo fran where is this place ?
Wish my gladiator would work. 4 mins outta the box the dig servo died. I unplugged it and less than an hour later my esc died. Just running a 2200 mah 2200 35c 3s lipo. While driving inside the house
Now dealing with H/H for a fix. Any of you have issues like this outta the box ?
Yea
The sport and trx 6x6 both did the hard climb box stock I’m almost sure🤔. U said no rtr did, but I’m thinking ur forgetting. Lol. I’ll have to go back and double check. I know the 6x6 did for sure. Good vid tho. Have a good day sir. Have a great weekend also 😁👍
Ah yes!!! 6x6 trx6 did it for sure!!!
Spektrum needs to stop offering servos. Heck the Annimos servos and the others you can’t pronounce on Amazon are better than any of the Spektrum ones
What did you run the whole video?? 3s lipo???
Yeah, always 3s lipo on all our videos. Really no reason to run 2s.
@@RCReviewChannel does 3s run well on the gladiator??
@@ethancamus2224 the esc is 2 or 3s so yes.
Great video though :)
4:18 you said you can't adjust the endpoints. But indeed you can. Just check the DX3 manual for instructions on how to do it.
Will do.
They need a kit version already wth....?
I still prefer metal parts and hard body for scale look and move. Stock RC cars move and act like a toys :( too light and jumpy. I am gonna get Gladiator along with my 7kg SCX10 II and 6.5KG TRX4 for pure scale madness on the trails
Fair enough!
Gladiator got there and that's why I bought one 😎👍
Yup pleasant surprise for us. Keeper!!
Great video! Plus I was first view and comment!
Also, I smashed that like button so hard it broke my screen!😂
I’m a major keep nut. Have all the scx24. But man, these scx10 compared to my TRX4 just aren’t as good. Can’t make myself buy one!
My Capra stock dig servo did the same thing
Really unfortunate parts. The warranty is decent but I'm not sure I want to go through all that trouble to get the same problems.
@@RCReviewChannel yeah it was like a week after I got it
Good work but you do realize what lockers do, right? I have seen in your previous video that you compared a fully open diff all around TRX4 steering radius to the Axial SCX10 III steering radius when the Axcial SCX10III is always locked up, not only on the diffs but also in the center diff. I do believe you do not fully understand the effects of locked up differentials, how much they reduce steering, cause drive train binding with traction increase (more traction more severe binding). Locked diffs great on crawling, climbing, moving on lose terrain but create unwanted driving conditions on dry even surfaces. In short; power always follow the path of least resistance. When a wheel is over ice or hanging in air, on a fully open diffed vehicle you will see all the power going to that one wheel, spinning it wild, but only that wheel leaving the vehicle stuck. When the diffs are locked up, or the axles are locked together with a center diff locker, then as long as any of the 4 wheels have some traction that wheel will push / pull the vehicle as the entire drive train (or one or both of the axles are locked depending on configuration) locked together, turning together. If you want tech people enjoy your vids I recommend to highlight the effect of the lockers on these vehicles as these days using lockers on RC vehicles are common, but not always used (most serious crawlers locked up by default which cannot be turned off), while other older or scale vehicles do not have lockers, and the TRX4 (not the sport), has both option (lockers can be engaged independently for front and rear axles. PS. I have both the TRX4 (open / locking diffs), and the Axial SCX10 III Gladiator. I hope this helps.
The purpose of the open differentials is to compensate wheel speed differences in sharp turns, as for instance on a left turn dry surface the inside (left side) wheels turn slower compared to the outside (right side) as the right side wheels are moving on a line following a larger radius (circle). Since one side of the vehicle is moving faster, while the other is slower, vehicles are equipped with differentials to compensate for this wheel speed difference. Open diffs are good for parking your car at a shopping center but will prevent any serious off-roading. The middle ground is limited slip differentials where an internal spring will generate artificial counter force and allow about 20% of the engine power reach wheels that have traction, while one of the wheels are spinning wild.
And view
1st comment😎
Prefer the gladiator
Now we have choice and that is good. Hopefully both companies will step up their game and lower prices too.
@@RCReviewChannel i like the JLU better because the wheelbase is a normal size so it can have different bodies but I feel if it had more weight it could've done better
It should say JL vs. JT😅
Gladiator is a wrangler/rubicon🤦♂️ variant
WHO WAS DRIVING THE WRANGLER? ....THE WRANGLER IS WAY BETTER THAN THE GLADIATOR WHEN I GO OUT CRAWLING WITH FRIENDS BONE STOCK. THIS VIDEO PROVES NOTHING
I'd put my capra up against any of these rigs. 😁😁😁😁
We have a couple capras here.
My gladiator box stock works my wife's box stock capra. Climbing definitely the gladiator stock. Side hill to the capra.
@@RCReviewChannel all in fun! 😁😁

4:10 Honestly, would it kill Axial or Traxxas for that matter, to actually put in decent electronics that work? I mean, for $877(aud) I am expecting decent electronics in 2021-22. Or please leave out your $hitty and expensive electronics so we can put in proper gear our selves and save $200. $877 is WAY over priced as it is, then ship them with immensely $hity electronics GFYS!! I'm personally Boycotting Traxxas and Axial until they do... F-them...
Junk
