37" and 40" tires are super common on Gladiators when upgrading so that opens it up to a more crawler look. Front wheel drive only is a big part of a dig and can be quite useful and can help out when getting bound up, climbing and descending in certain situations.

[@tomlucasrccrawlers9108]

Really like that Basecamp. Everything you did to it just really "clicked" together to make a really cool rig.

[@BANTAM53]

Put the Gladiator on the base camp! 😀

[@SavageBrewer]

The manual lockout is for class 1 and 2 competition where the organizer requires it to be locked.

[@longtalltexanrc3358]

Late to the party. Love the gladiator and all the details. It will be a stunner for sure.

[@FarmerFpv]

I have the Killer Body Toyota Land Cruiser C70 in Matt Green, and I love it! I need to add the Gladiator to my shelf. The details are so worth the effort of putting them together.

[@ITman3Dmain]

🔥🔥🔥Great show as always. I need one of those. 🔥🔥🔥

[@adamskirc]

See you back again next week again...

[@rc.remedy]

I really dig the Basecamp.

[@Goferris]

plan to get that Dig unit for my Basecamp!

[@kennethrobinson9008]

I love Dig! Works awesome in my 1:1 Bronco as well. That Killerbody looks great too!

[@Tom_Wade]

Glad to see a cool option part like that for the base camp. I’ve owned a lot of rigs, and the base camp is one of my favorites out of the box. Great value for your money.

[@slowcrawler2695]

How about a whats on the bench tattoo episode. 😂 your covered up 😎🤘

[@kdecesari]

Please try to put the Gladiator body on a Basecamp. That is something I'd like to see. Thanks!

[@kwkride]

You really make me want to order one of those Gladiator bodie

[@mikebird8290]

Yes Sir it would LOOK AMAZING on the ELEMENT Builder's kit 2. I've got on my bench🇬🇧🇨🇦🕊️✌🏼🤩😁👍🏼

[@leehall3181]

Great show as always. That green body is wicked. I need one of those.

[@gatorrcgames]

That killer body is awesome! I like the details in it. My wife steals my shirts, too. LOL

[@julioperez809]

That’s an awesome looking body.

[@karlmoore8639]

I love the green!!!! And side note your thumbnail looks like you smashed it proper. Then I realized it might be paint.

[@MegaTraxxas]

Gladiator is a nice body, of all SCX10 III the gladiator version looks best. But for 200$ I'd like to get some interior, at least a basic one

[@BlindGuyRc]

My wofe takes my shirts to hahaha. That killer body is killer lol.... haha I have been debating a bascamp. I think there alot there to work woth. Great job man

[@chucksrchabit.7671]

For sure a lot of parts. Mine is about as far as you got. Opted to leave mine white. Going to use gcm CMAX chassis all coil with separate shocks.

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

Did you know that jeep still produces right hand drive jeeps for use in the USA as mail jeeps. My mother in law has a right hand drive 2020 Cherokee, but they also make the wrangler and gladiators as well

[@scalebuildersguild]

That's a very interesting fact. Thanks for sharing!

[@Schroefdoppie]

5:39 The last time I was there, mainland Europe was still driving on the right. 😁

[@scalebuildersguild]

I screwed up there

[@buildrestorecustomise2060]

I always look forward to my weekly dose of W.O.T.B.W!…. Any update on the Blazing Blazer? Would love to see a really long video on it, maybe a livestream of it being finished!? Also will we see the RC10 gold pan again?👍👍

[@mitsuman5555]

10/10 cold open 😂

[@navigationmanship]

I plan on getting a Gladiator from KB..Will need to mount to trx4, so go ahead and put it on a trx4?? Would love to see the interior also!! And how the tire size affects the look. Thanks!

[@herzbruch5860]

Maby the boom racing brx02 is fitting good 😊

[@gerardorodriguez538]

You should do a complete Build series.

[@fishnrc294]

I’m actually just here for the cartoon music at the start 😂 But ya that Killerbody is awesome. So any tips I’m getting everthing together to turn my Element Sendero HD chassis into a Interceptor I’ve ordered the Rock Pirates rails & bed I’m using the Proline cab on it. I’ll be using a Fusion Pro in it as well. I keep thinking I’m going to need to buy something for the conversion but I do have a lot of parts that came with the HD & my Ecto.

[@scalebuildersguild]

I don't have any experience with that conversion, sorry! Thanks for watching!

[@Screwfly1]

I wonder if you could put the Gladiator on a stretched TRX4M chassis to get the axle and tires more scale sized.

[@jameswilson864]

When will you be able to show us the bbx? It seems like that release got delayed

[@bigjeep_littlejeep3777]

That gcm jk chassis might be the cats meow for that jt.. just sayin

[@AgeOrmstad]

Nice BC dig👌

[@intimidater83e]

what inner fender kit are you running on this basecamp?

[@JoskMclaren]

Nice video but just to clarify Euro or Regular dashboard doesnt make sense. Most of euro is LHD [seems that lately ppl are saying RHT] same as Us, Ca. RHD [LHT] is predominantly UK and former empire countries plus a few others, most significantly Japan who set RHD back in the 20s.

[@scalebuildersguild]

I think I just got it mixed up, but thanks!

[@skinanbonesOG]

hmm manual lockout on the lcxu trans dig. Must mean there's a new model coming soon.

[@reneecorsaro7335]

...Or not. 🤔 Idk... New rigs are good though !! ✌️

[@ashleyconnelley1856]

Lmao I was there to lol

[@LuceFollea]

Hi! I looked everywhere but can’t find a green one, where did you get it? Thank for you work.

[@scalebuildersguild]

A green Gladiator? I painted it myself!

[@JThelen1031]

I actually think the ability to manually lock out the dig function is a really good thing to have, since it allows you to lock it out for comps as needed, but have it available when you're not doing that kind of stuff. Is it as easy to lock out as what's on the VFD?

[@scalebuildersguild]

Not as easy, but similar. Thanks for watching!

[@Xofroggy]

Sweet i get to see the hard body gladiator in a video, not sure if its worth it at the price

[@scalebuildersguild]

Fair enough. Thanks for watching!

[@Xofroggy]

@@scalebuildersguild still debating on getting it, just gonna wait to see how yours looks fully built

[@robsadler7094]

That killerbody looks great! Is it all screwed together or is there gluing involved too?

[@scalebuildersguild]

There’s a tiny bit of glue, but it’s mainly for the small detail parts.

[@Bot_Brad]

I thought your Jeeps were Painted with Porsche Green. What Gives?

[@scalebuildersguild]

Yep, they are, or rather, were. This is more of that same paint!

[@therctrails]

What chassis did you mount the gladiator to if you have already, and what bumper mounts you used?

[@scalebuildersguild]

Haven’t chosen a chassis yet, I’m likely going to wait for Killerbody’s Mercury chassis.

[@charlesjones3685]

If you were using a model to make a hardcopy for an rc, what would you put it together with, what type of glue

[@scalebuildersguild]

Probably CA.

[@walterbryan1798]

I was looking at that body a few weeks ago! It's soooooo detailed! But I do have a question. Do I need to wash the body parts before painting, like you do with a Lexan body?

[@scalebuildersguild]

You sure do! Anything that comes out of a mold should be cleaned with dish soap prior to prime/paint.

[@walterbryan1798]

@@scalebuildersguild Roger that! Thank you!

[@overdosed51]

Can the basecamps's transmission fit a scx10ii? If anyone knows lmk! Wanting to add dig to my old trail rig

[@scalebuildersguild]

Not sure the skid is the same, but, you can still add a Hurtz dig from VP for the old 3 gear trans.

[@dangerbird64]

Question: did the body end up fitting okay on the SCX 10 III? I've seen a lot of bodies that seem to fit the II, but not the III. Thanks.

[@scalebuildersguild]

That body would require custom mounts on any chassis. It’s just a carbon fiber shell, with no body in mind.

[@JeanIIDeux]

I'm really wondering if this will sit on the scx10iii gladiator chassis.

[@scalebuildersguild]

No, it won't. It's 10th scale, and a 12.3" wheelbase.

[@pertsasep]

Hi Matt. do you have any information or rumor when the interior will possibly be published. Just finishin paint job my gladiator

[@scalebuildersguild]

Sorry, no idea. Killerbody says soon!

[@pertsasep]

@@scalebuildersguild thanks anyway. that soon can be anything 😀

[@richw9205]

Do very small screws float much like very small rocks do?! Ha ha ha ha!!!

[@scalebuildersguild]

😂

[@BruceReafsnider]

Is the wheelbase correct to mount the Gladiator to a Boom Racing BRX01 chassis?

[@scalebuildersguild]

Nope, it's a 12.3" wheelbase on the Gladiator.

[@danielfiander5731]

How does that killerbody mount? I know when I mounted my LC70 on my trx4 I had to buy specific mounting brackets, another learning curve 😂😂😂

[@scalebuildersguild]

I haven’t gotten that far yet, but it looks like most of it is left to us!

[@danielfiander5731]

@@scalebuildersguild oh yes 😂 ££££££

[@JD-tl7ld]

I don't suppose that trans will fit in a deadbolt?

[@scalebuildersguild]

Negative, different skid bolt pattern. Thanks for watching!

[@ashleyconnelley1856]

Hey that’s what she said lmao 😂

[@Sysiphos]

RHD is not really a europe-thing, only some islands have left hand traffic. You could call it JDM or Aus version. Don't put the gladiator on a VS4-10 because Josh probably will

[@aaronhouser3711]

Looks nice but appears fragile

[@FiveFourRacing]

I don't understand why dig isn't allowed I have dig in my full body 1:1 Tj comp crawler

[@scalebuildersguild]

Who knows, maybe we'll see a rolling update to the rules in the future.

[@Mr_Pilot_]

That killer body Gladiator is more like 1/11. Because real one has 3.49 meters WB which will be 349mm for 1/10th scale. It is too small. I wish they made it real 1/10th.

[@toolstechandtoys5910]

I don’t see the body in amain. 🤷🏽

[@scalebuildersguild]

Follow the links in the description.

[@westgateslave]

Why yet another Jeep? There are other vehicles out there. I’m so tired of jeeps and modern pickups. I keep hoping that less generic scale bodies will be released.

[@idahorcguy7760]

That thumb looks painful.

[@scalebuildersguild]

It's paint. Ha!
