SCX10 III Gladiator vs Capra: Rock-Testing One Epic Upgrade!

[@RCTNT]

D'oh! Capra's total score should have been 9, not -13. I triple-checked but still missed them! Two errors: 1. Gate 5, failed to apply the gate-touch 5 points. 2. After Bonus gate, applied 2 instead of 1 reverse. This brings the Gladiator even closer - just 8 points!

I’m really enjoying your comparison/competition videos 🤘🏼

[@RCTNT]

Awesome! (me too!)

[@paulpitmon6663]

I love your video man, it's like watching RC, narrated by David Attenborough.

[@RCTNT]

That might be one of the nicest compliments I've ever read on KZbin. Heh, thanks :)

[@YoShImUrA53]

I really want that Gladiator to succeed, somehow. I really wish Axial offered it in kit form, though!

[@RCTNT]

Thinking l'll do the SCX10.3 Bronco kit once it's here. Then we'll have a 312mm wheelbase 10.3 for better comparison!

[@YoShImUrA53]

@@RCTNT Great stuff! I'm actually partial to the Gladiator for being a ""performance underdog"" due to it's lenghty wheelbase. I love working around problems, such as for instance how to drive an old 911 and its rear-engined traits... But there's only so much you can do to this rig now to make it work without losing its essence. That new "old" SCX10.3 on non-portal axles looks amazing for what I've seen around, tho. It's screaming you to put a good scale figure on it to make the most of it, scalewise.

Good video, you’ll have to do Capra vs comp rig. Also are you getting an element ecto or gate keeper?

[@RCTNT]

Possibly a Gatekeeper. Definitely have to compare the MRC to the Capra in the meantime, it'd be all about short wheelbase & pin tires vs DIG, I guess. Both are 3s brushless. Hm. Good idea!

[@RCTNT]

Gatekeeper is on the way! Review will follow after I've got the rig built and onto the course. Stay tuned!

@@RCTNT yess!!

[@mintforeverphotographyandv4731]

I just discovered your channel today. I'm loving it! From what I'm seeing on the 10 iii, wouldn't you be much better off with the JLU and some decent wheels and tires?

[@RCTNT]

Welcome! Glad you're enjoying it. I've just built a JLU so we'll be able to compare them both on different courses to see their strengths and weaknesses. Looking forward to it! (Performance is only part of the equation - the Gladiator is pretty! I'll cover all this soon). Cheers

Another banger of a video

[@RCTNT]

Thankz Locker!

[@tonyvarela904]

Those are too very different vehicles they are not even in the same category

[@RCTNT]

You're absolutely right! The intention wasn't to see which was better. More just an idea of how they're different - can be helpful to folks wondering what kind of crawler might be better for them. Cheers :)
