Overland Adventure RC Car! Axial Jeep Gladiator Rubicon SCX24 Crawler Review | RC Driver

[@dinh71]

I like the Gladiator and all, but an older Cherokee body, with over sized tires would absolutely do it for me!

[@asapplayz6912]

they sell custom xj cherokee body’s

i agree!

Hey bro if you need any crawler parts just let me know I have a ton of stuff I’m trying to get rid of . I have a like new Trx4 sport I will literally give you if you want to pay shipping. You’d just need a battery and charger. Let me know I’m moving and trying to clean things out

[@noahmattiello8613]

I have one exactly as you described I just finished making lol. If there was a way to share pics on here I’d post it

[@scalebuildersguild]

Must be nice to NOT have mountains of snow there, Greg! Awesome stuff!

[@whistlinlipo]

If axial already has the jeep license, I’m glad they made this, looks sweet!

[@rcdriver]

Yeah, kinda a natural to make. It also means a longer wheelbase SCX24 which is cool!

[@cjv29er]

Hmm. While watching the running footage I noticed this one looks like its more planted to the ground compared to the earlier models. Even the suspension looked better. I think this will be my first 24th scale. Thank You Greg! 👌🏼

[@Apothas541]

Just don’t get sucked in to the treal parts money pit. Injora works just fine for half the price.

[@the_car_guy5915]

@@Apothas541 The only way I would buy Treal or RC4WD is if they had some cool scale tires (which they do) or if I just wanted the cool factor and had extra money to spend.

[@BlakeBeardsley]

First thing I always do when getting a new scx24 is a vecro mod. Love that they're doing that now. Thanks as always for the upbeat video. Your positive attitude always makes me smile.

[@rcdriver]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@kevinsmith2861]

Man I got a gold one, and my other 3 have just been sitting. I put rc4wd beadlocks and BFGs on it, and some brass on the wheels and the front diff cover. Absolutely perfect!! It out crawls my heavily modified Jeep all day. Love the videos by the way. Keep em coming!!

[@tonyspencer4379]

IMO this vehicle, that terrain and light was your most enjoyable running video to date. The color and vehicle size was just perfect. I really enjoyed watching it cross all the variables.

Great overview Greg! Really looks good. Your driving location looked perfect for it as well.

[@outcastrc8052]

Excellent rig review and first run! Looks like some interesting improvements and certainly has caught my eye to add to the collection! Well done Axial!

[@saturnfivehynrgrc581]

Greg Your a great spokesman for Axial. I do like this release and its on my wish. Keep it up, do enjoy the content.

[@chrisfigiel9547]

Pulling the trigger on a SCX24 now, finally. I have a Gladiator myself. Sarge Green would have been awesome. Thank you Greg

[@rcdriver]

I wanted Gator!LOL! Sarge would have been cool too! I’m hoping a clear body comes soon.

[@muzicgr8]

about 2 weeks before this came out I was about to drop money on the SCX24 jeep, glad I waited. Gonna get this one for sure. Great video as always thank you

[@radioactivescalerc]

Love it, nice to see they eliminated the body pin and decked it out with all the scale extra's, can"t wait to get one!!

[@caiden9377]

I’ve been waiting for One of these for the longest time. So glad to see that it comes with the overland accessories included! Looks really fun to drive, and I am going to have to get one to have a long side my Wrangler! Now they just need an SCX6 gladiator!

[@Lee.gRC27]

I chopped my scx24 jeep to look like that , I extended the links also , Nice to have an actual interior

[@jasonedens3778]

That drives pretty well in stock form, seems like it is far more stable than the Deadbolt was stock.

[@rcfungames]

Excellent review bro🤜🤛 Always love when you show us new products you always do such a great job at it. Thanks dude 👍

[@writedeanb]

This is a must have!

[@rcdriver]

Yup, super excited about this SCX24!

[@kjs6469]

Great video. Looks great, guess I'll be adding another one to my collection.

[@cashtangoproductions7308]

Great video I can't wait to get one!

[@ScottP89]

I would love to see them do a Bronco body for one of these SCX24s. A man can dream haha.

[@Aj.oh7]

Im sensing a 24 or 18 scale trx4 soon and thatll probably have a bronco body

[@ScottP89]

@@Aj.oh7 I have the same feeling, no way Traxxas is going to sleep on this scale of crawlers for much longer.

[@butterknife_mtb_rc]

Yep without a doubt there will be a trx24

[@Calcapwn300]

This aged well, :)

[@rcstories_ca]

Thanks Greg! Good overview and great run video. The Gladiator is officially on my wish list.

[@MauzyrockRC]

I love the 24 platform. This one looks amazing. Great review thanks!

[@RCBadasserie]

That was a great video!

[@24Krawlers]

For a stock.. it looks like it preforms awesome. I can’t wait to get my hands on one too lol

[@rubiken06]

Love the new addition, wish I could afford the 1to1 , so this will have to do for now. Blue for me . Great job Axial.

[@rcdriver]

Really liking both color options on this one.

[@Crider-ih2ir]

Sharp looking rig. Looks like its a solid rig. I got the yellow jeep and it was horrible for flipping over, On its side. Felt really top heavy. After extending the axles and and wheel weights made a world of difference

[@EliKazmaier]

Dang it. I just got my JLU and now I may need this…🤔 lol. Great video.

[@fuse557]

Love these little trucks!

[@johngrant1337]

Yes love the tan color thanks

[@Blastfromthepastrc1346]

Awesome! That went straight up on my must get list!👍👍

Love my 1/10 gladiator gotta get the this one now

[@bucksrcworld8119]

awesome unbox/review Greg. This rig is sweet for sure..

[@pwrofgrayskull]

Holy smokes, I love it. Great video! This looks like a must-have rig. I can’t wait to get one for our family. 👍✌️

[@thatoneguyyouthought]

Definitely picking one of these up. Mostly for the frame and guts. Already planning a new body out for it.

[@islandrc-duke1972]

Cool RC and great review

[@prplflh71]

I’m partial too. I have this and the Mojave in Gobi as my daily!

[@techep3]

Now I need to make my deadbolt longer again. I just got the longer front links from the other jeep. A tacoma body with the overland look would be really cool too.

[@ReadySetRC]

Once again great review. Can't wait to get one of these.

[@ka4172]

Bulls eye! Wow thats the real Mc coy a only downsized version of the 1:10 Gladiator ! No oversized tires! Interieur ,scale parts i want want want! This will be a top seller!

[@8bitisthesh1telwell74]

There's a bunch of you guys on KZbin aka mat, josh and a bunch of other great channels that offer really solid reviews. I would say hands down you are the best on KZbin for rock solid reviews I Absolutely love your channel and always seek you out to see what you think before I throw down my hard earned money. Thank you for all the work. But that being said I'm getting really annoyed with these companies sending dozens of these units to literally dozens of reviewers to throw up in my face before I can buy one. Seriously just send a few for review to the top 3. If they would stop sending them to everyone that has a you tube channel and put a dozen of them on the shelf instead for sale then maybe a few of us common folk could actually buy 1. Seriously thank you for all that you do. You have the BEST reviews. Period hands down! But I've actually watched 4 reviews today from people that have no idea what the product is or could possibly offer anything to axial as far as feedback to improve there product. Thank you for allowing the rant . And Thank you again. I'm not wasting my time anymore. if they are not available. I will just buy something else actually available at launch date and pick up this body when it's in the bargain bin a year from now.

[@1ubby]

They need get some portals on these guys

[@SlooDon]

Thanks for the review. I don’t have a 1/24, this might push me over the edge. Side note don’t know if it is intentional but I like you having part of the running footage without music so we can hear the truck. Thanks again!

[@georgiahertzler9403]

You think 2 years ago, you could find one to buy,Amazon doesn't sale none 🤔

[@RCDRIVERSTUDIO]

Great looking truck 👍

[@GazVanDyk]

Very nice looking and well put together 👍

[@BenL808]

Would love the new ford bronco body for this scale.

[@chuckfiesler7991]

Got to have one of these

[@stoneydrivesrc7420]

Do the front bumper mount flip it will be the first thing I do to it !!!!!! Then put grease in the shocks OlllllllO great running video awesome spot !!!

[@OliverBeach28]

I think that they should do an Scx24 with the scx10 ii Cherokee body. That would look sick.

[@rcaesthetics8805]

Amazing terrain 🤙

[@swashbuckler5539]

I’m gonna get one , throw my hyraxes on and widen a bit

[@jeffhill3352]

Now we need a Mojave trim truck geared for a bid more speed. This truck looks great!

[@danwoodruff4323]

Need to add to my wishlist.

[@slotcarmancave]

The 2:34 long ad before the video was a nice touch from YT... I wonder how many people go elsewhere rather than watching your videos because of it?

[@rcdriver]

Yeah, unfortunately they took the controls away from us to turn that off. 😣

[@cwatson42785]

7:05 what a perfect shot and location!

[@iatomiksi2200]

Next they'll make a scx6 gladiator

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

Great video as always. Love the format consistency! I’m not into the music/driving type footage but with your videos I know just how far to go forward to get to your narrative while driving etc. I’ve got two of each color on order with my local shop! (2 for Jeep club giveaways) And yeah….that gap would drive me NUTS! Hope mine aren’t like that. 😜

[@DoubleADay]

Ordered the tan one, at least that's what I call it

[@AlexReyes-kr9ee]

Great review again, so are those Nitto tires good compared to other SCX24? Looks like the low profile grooves don’t bite as much.

[@rcdriver]

They “feel” good in the shop, in the cold they firmed up and on the cold rocks after driving through snow, there was some tire spin. I’d like to see how they do in warmer conditions.

[@RC4all]

Looks great, can’t wait to pick one up. Great review 👍🏼

[@mattiasrc]

Like it alot and i will get one as soon as they are available here.

[@keaginm2791]

Really digging the look of the new SCX24. I think I prefer the transmitter that came stock with my C-10 though. It looks a lot easier to use for one handed driving

[@rcdriver]

About 85% of the action driving in this video was one handed. It's just a little more of a strectch, but managable.

[@bansheerider619]

too bad we cant bind our own spektrum radio and save a few bucks.

[@BradypatRC]

Whenever I save up to buy a new rig I always look at your reviews. I have just ordered the 1/24 Gladiator in blue and a spare battery. How long do he’s the battery last ?

[@rctraildriversuk-lone-wolfvide]

Looks the part and seems capable for a little fella

[@koolkrawler6028]

Badass man I love it I need one asap

[@forrestcrabbe]

Scx24s check all the boxes for me. The only non scx24 rc I have is an smt10 and it will most likely remain the only non scx24 I have. I do kinda want an enduro24 for the drivetrain 🤘🍻🤘

[@kilroywashere9343]

Anyone know what mods you would need to do to get this body to fit on the Scx24 Deadbolt?

[@ridgerc5976]

What kind of run time did you get out of it?

[@rcbuilder111]

I enjoy the video a lot and the car looks so amazing

[@EXPIOWA]

It looks cool. Jeeps always do. If you are into driving around all scale looking this is as close as it gets at 1:24. That front bumper is horrible though. Nothing that can't be fixed in the aftermarket. I think it will do better with natural outdoor courses than it will on tighter indoor artificial ones. The long wheelbase will help it outside. Indoors it will likely get highsided on the skidplate a lot easier than SWB rigs. Good video. I wish I had that terrain near where I live. Thanks for sharing.

[@wildmangeorgesrcchannel6916]

It’s about time

[@jimkrug2586]

Such a good looking truck. I have one on the way in the same colour. Ordered a few brass and aluminum bits to add some weight down low. Are the tires glued to the rim on this truck?

[@rcjoe406]

Be nice if the window tint stickers can come off making clear windows ?

[@bongofury3176]

Axial should release a brushless and brass version...

[@MartinFelix1988]

I wanna see more body options for the longer chassis

[@alexhardwick2855]

Awesome vid, after seeing this one it has made me think of possibly getting one, but I wonder what the next ine they make will look like 👍 thanks for the vid 👍

[@xd_gangster693]

First thing I noticed was how minimal Horizon branding was on it. Hmm makes you think. Nice that they brought over the upgrades electronics from the gen 2 jeep wrangler. Also not 100% on this but wheels look like beadlocks.

[@Coolshortsvideo1]

They have to release more of this updated lineup

[@willeymunda]

Are the newer longer wheel base ones better than the original sized wheelbase?

[@williamreinhard]

Do you miss the variable speeds that come on other SCX24 models?

[@majorwoody1720]

Idk which one I want. I’m saving up, my birthdays tomorrow and I want one to customize as much as possible over time and for it to look scale and perform incredibly well.

[@mikejurnak0324]

Soon as I seen the horizon video I new you would have one lol 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@trevorgoodman2323]

Man this is awesome, the only thing that sucks is we probably won't be able to get one until the end of the year its probably already sold out after release of this video hahaha

[@chrisfigiel9547]

Just ordered one and it said next shipment in February.

[@nemesis8664]

Another Jeep body?? Good lord... Well, body aside, the little thing looks pretty cool, well put together and seems to perform very, very well for its size. Not a Kyosho Mini Z crawler but the quality on this one sets the bar pretty high.

[@drxpz25]

Are the channels binded to anything on the remote and if they are, what is it used for, if not what can I use it for

[@Lee.gRC27]

I chopped my scx24 jeep to look like that , I extended the links also

[@bry0ung]

Super-dee-duper-cool! Can you measure wheelbase, and links from both ends? Do you get the impression the rear links are longer than Deadbolt's?

[@butterknife_mtb_rc]

IMO just plain removing the front bumper is the best mod to any scx24 bc it will give you a better approach angle and with the lights removed you can actually install light buckets in the grille where the head lights are.

[@dinh71]

The front sticks out ridiculously far on the JLU, and it's still the same on this Gladiator. Not sure on Axial's thought on this design. IMO it just looks terrible and it really affects performance. I removed mine, on my JLU, and added a diy one. Significantly improved the approach angle!

[@jonathanyoon8651]

Thanks for the video! Great running too! Looks like a sweet new truck, will be ordering one. Can you measure the tire diameter and width? Already thinking about tire options. Thanks!

Hey Brother, how do you like your full size Jeep?

[@RollingArtDesigns]

I’m new to R/C hobbies and I’ve been doing a whole lot of online research before I buy my first one and now that I see this Gladiator is coming out I think this one will be my first SCX24 that I buy! I’m working on buying myself a brand new Jeep Gladiator Rubicon as my daily driver as well, so this will be awesome to go with my real Gladiator when I get it! As for the SCX24 I’m wanting to install some Ingora wheels and tires, brass diff covers, brass knuckles, etc. upgrade the steering servo, and some other little minor upgrades and call it good to go! Anyone know a release date for these Gladiators yet?!?

Not a hero fan but this looks epic and I will be buying it when it comes out in the uk
