Scx24 Gladiator Upgrades Mods Tips And Test

[@RcNickster709]

Man this thing looks SO awesome Brent .. Great upgrades and I have to admit, I love your approach as I have mentioned before. [Brent: Ok so steering servo was binding here a little so I cut that off and I trimmed that off and Now? It works great!!] You just DIVE right in LOVE IT These things are meant to have fun with... and you make sure they're doing exactly what they are suppose to no-matter what has to go or be trimmed and still looking good as they do it. Thumbs up here brother As they say the Proof Is In The Pudding. It did awesome on the trail bud. And as YOU said.. This thing is "Dang Gum Mountain-goat" LMAO

[@AdventureTimeRC]

[@AdventureTimeRC]

Thank you Larry its working so go now really impressed hope you have a great weekend

[@JF-RC]

Hi there, some great tips and modifications to the wonderful SCX 24 machine. It’s also performed admirably on you punishing course, for a little guy! 🤣😁take care, keep well and all the very best. 😉😊😉

[@AdventureTimeRC]

Thank you very much John I am always surprised by what these small trucks can do hope you have a great day my friend

[@taylor22222222]

@1:22 so true. I really wanted to save for a larger scale. I was dreaming for the TRX4 Defender for quite a while now, but it's just far too expensive for me. I was worried about the smaller scale crawlers and figured, if bought with a few upgrades as a larger scale, that it would be just about as expensive. I just pieced everything together with this same Gladiator model and with a better servo and all kinds of brass weights, chassis links, tie link and wheel spacers with a few other things, and it turned out far less expensive than just the TRX4. I decided to get it. Plus, the building and assembly I get to do is part of the whole experience and the fun of it--at least it is for me. I'm pretty excited! :D Excellent video!! Nice Work 👍

[@ShenRC]

Looks real nice! that long WB looks like it works very well too! Hey I finally went for a crawl with the big crawlers I did not go with all last year... I did not video it but me and my brother went up the mountain in the dark with the trucks with LED lights it was the best run I ever did it was so much fun ice covered trails water mud a awesome time! I never went at night but all I can say it's so cool! I have some picks of the trucks when we got back posted on FB and my community section here.

[@AdventureTimeRC]

Awesome glad you got out with the crawlers I bet it was crazy at night in the mountains that really long crawl video you did with your brother a couple years ago was awesome

[@daved2023]

Great video! I installed the same bumper and the first thing I noticed was that you had flipped the bumper mount. Love it! I'll be doing the same mod. I would love to see a review on Gladiator-specific AL suspension linkage upgrades.

[@AdventureTimeRC]

Thank you very much I really appreciate it I would love to do a link upgrade just need to find parts lol

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

IMPRESSIVE Brent!! 👌 I'm behind on the entire SCX24 movement! 😵 At first I wasn't able to justify over $100 for something as small as my then Kitten... MANY Videos later (like yours), and my Inheritance, I said WTF. 😊 I thank you for that. My Wife DOESN'T!! 😳😝😅 Fact is, if you live in a place that gets to a Hundred and OMFG for 5 months out of the year, this is a smart choice!! I've STILL only got the one Deadbolt, still not modified. 😫 Doesn't mean I won't... just been tied up with BS. But the Grandbabies love it, Cats HATE it, Wife's coming around!! SHE even suggests getting a couple MORE, so the Kids can join in! 😁 She wants to help make Styrofoam obstacles and terrain for an Indoor Course!! 😎😉 Sorry for the long winded comment. Just a Testimony, in case somebody's out there, trying to get a Partner on board 😀

[@AdventureTimeRC]

Thank you Carmine your long comments are always welcome here i started off with the deadbolt and fell in love with it and have just gotten evey new release since but this gladiator is a must have it really is the best one so far very stable and great electronics minus the servo lol

[@RcNickster709]

@Carmine ... Stop it!! I have still managed to fight the urge to buy one of these. I got SOOO much on my plate right now and you're right. Videos like this is not helping my typically strong will-power ..lmao Thing is? My wife rarely fights me on it. So the fight on this, is with-in .. 😬😬I fear the fight is almost over though 😅🤣😂149 on Amain-hobbies that's 180-ish Canadian... sigh... I have already been looking.. Stay Tuned lmao

[@AdventureTimeRC]

@@RcNickster709 lol Nick just think a scx24 could ride your scx6 into battle 🤣 😂

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

@@AdventureTimeRC Or TWO of them!! 😝

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

@@RcNickster709 Yeah, the Gladiator is a LOT. The others aren't a bargain either, but make nice indoor diversions.... If you're Snowed in, or here - the Pavement is MELTING!! 🔥 🥵

[@Fonzierc]

Awsome scale rig looks fantastic that bumper really does look good great video very informative !

[@AdventureTimeRC]

Thank you Fonzie I am so impressed with this rig so much fun have a great day

[@Fonzierc]

@@AdventureTimeRC it really is and like you mentioned that slow control it's absolutely awsome the small rigs have come a long way ! Cheers buddy have a awsome weekend!

[@Del350K4]

This, Gladiator's superb now!

[@azminyit1194]

wow,,,nice upgrade😍😍😍😍

[@AdventureTimeRC]

Thank you very much

[@WoodsUnknown]

Awesome Mountain goat, Here in Canada i have found my parts for 10 scale compared to 24 scale cost the same so I havent touched another scx24 since.

[@AdventureTimeRC]

Yeah they can get expensive but I have so much fun messing with them

[@jdsrcs8061]

Came out killer!!! I am going to order a set of those brass parts!!!!🤘🤘🤘

[@AdventureTimeRC]

Yeah great price its allot of brass thank you for watching brother

[@GARYU-S44]

The upgrade works very well, good work my friends👍🔧🤩🤝

[@AdventureTimeRC]

Thank you very much my friend

[@RCplamodel]

Thank you for sharing a good video with a nice car!~~~^_^

[@AdventureTimeRC]

Thank you very much

[@kangyurc-trial6641]

Verry nice good job nice bro 👍 👏

[@AdventureTimeRC]

Thank you very much brother

[@AddamsPlayground]

That bumper looks really nice! I also need to do that servo swap on mine as the stock one is getting a little tired. It looks really good out there and handles your course very well despite its size!!

[@AdventureTimeRC]

Thank you Addam the servo upgrade is the best thing in my opinion it makes it a whole new truck hope you have a great day brother

[@rexmaximo9499]

Love it! Sorry to bother, when changing the servo, did you have to do anything with the steering settings with the new remote control? Most videos I’ve seen, they’ve used the older remote and adjust it to “0” to make that white piece in the correct setting. I’m not sure how to do that on the new controller. Thanks for any insight in advance.

[@AdventureTimeRC]

All you would have to do is turn it on while you install the horn so it's centered worked great for me good luck my friend

[@fernsolo]

I got the same bumper, it works great 👍

[@AdventureTimeRC]

Cool I didn't realize it was the same one you had was just impulse buying all the cheap parts that would get here quickly lol but what a score it really works perfectly for this rig

[@RCDRIVERSTUDIO]

Cool 🤘

[@AdventureTimeRC]

Thank you very much

[@Scx24OCD]

If that bumper brass or aluminum?

[@1965Misiu]

Where can you buy the driver? Thanks Perfekt Video

[@AdventureTimeRC]

Thank you very much I would try horizon hobbies web site

[@NCmountainsYouTubeChannel]

Man the thing is a goat. Nice upgrades to looking Sweeeet 👍💯 I don’t really like my Enduro 1/24. I did just upgrade it to a 2s Lipo with the mini Chinese esc But still no low carb crawling lol got wheel speed now

[@AdventureTimeRC]

Thank you Aaron I don't care for my enduro 24 much either its ok but like the scx24 much better I bought 5 lol

[@CoachD386]

Nice mods, and i do the same on my scx24s

[@AdventureTimeRC]

Thank you very much Coach

[@Big_Country_RC]

What shocks do you have on it??

[@adrianau4246]

Is that servo better then the emax analog servo?

[@AdventureTimeRC]

It's the same as a emax servo flight test used emax as there manufacturer

[@carloshnunez]

The D shackles on that bumper are great, did you instal oil shocks? 🔵🔵🔵👍👍👍😀😀😀🔵🔵🔵

[@AdventureTimeRC]

Thank you no I didn't the new spring setup is pretty nice I like it

[@spellrong]

Hi! I have a problem with my scx24 gladiator and I'm not sure who to ask so here it goes. Alot of times when I haven't used it for a while and start it up, the wheels start spinning and I have to press the -throttle for a while until it stops. This time it wont stop and ontop of that the servo keeps twitching like crazy. Any ideas? Thank you

[@BasBoyRC]

You did well with the parts at those prices. Here not as cheap on parts plus the 20% tax on all.

[@AdventureTimeRC]

That is crazy Malcolm I can't believe you have ro pay that much tax it must make the rc hobby very expensive

[@BasBoyRC]

@@AdventureTimeRC It's worse than that, we pay about 25% in deductions on wages then that 20% vat on top. Only thing it's not on is non luxury food, so all nice food is taxed.

[@AdventureTimeRC]

@@BasBoyRC oh wow I can't imagine that here all food is tax free only junk food like soda and some sweets are taxed and that is only a 7% sales tax our medical insurance costs are the biggest expense of living you could pay 1500$ to get one tooth fixed

[@BasBoyRC]

@@AdventureTimeRC They get us one way or another, it's things like junk food but 20% is a lot more. One thing they put it on is baby milk, that annoys a lot of people.

[@AdventureTimeRC]

Taxing child care products heavily is something I would be upset about to its expensive raising children mine are all grown now I get to enjoy being a grand parent spoil and send home

[@1118tcox]

Do you recommend one scx24 over another? Looking to buy one but I hear the jeep is better. Just wanted another honest opinion

[@jameswright5572]

Nice Gladiator. Got mine crawling up to 57 degrees. My I ask one thing of you? Please take a sharpie to your servo horn. That white stands out and not in a good way.

[@AdventureTimeRC]

Lol that's funny I never even paid attention I think it might be switched out to a aluminum one now thanks for watching my friend

[@jameswright5572]

@@AdventureTimeRC enjoy them all.

[@leonelmolinajr2]

What wheels are those?

[@AdventureTimeRC]

Oh my I'm not even sure i have changed the wheels so many times I can't remember what ones I had here

[@cardboardcrawlersrc8805]

My c10 is so heavy now I’m thinking of what parts to take off 🤔🤣

[@RemotelyCultured]

Link for the tools?

[@adrianau4246]

Those say they are brass Colour don’t that mean it’s not actual brass ?

[@AdventureTimeRC]

It's brass you can file test it
