Installing 15mm Wheel Spacers on my JT Gladiator!

[@kayleenhooper2158]

Good job explaining. I feel like I could invest in a crawler and have lots of fun, by the way I am 70 yrs old.

Nice mod I just picked this rig to add to my lineup. This is a def improvement I’ll be doing this 👍🏼

Man I love your videos! I’ve been out of r/c for years. I just picked up a Gladiator the other day and your videos really help!

Thank you ❤

[@joshjohnson1385]

You should add the brass portal covers, what a difference.

[@upgradedrc3697]

I will be doing that soon. Thanks for the info

[@manong7413]

Good job friend! I sub~

[@tygger420]

I see alot of other types but i like the style your using best.what are you using for tires?and anything i should upgrade right away like servo?thanks so much for your videos,couldnt live without them brother.

[@upgradedrc3697]

My tires change constantly. But I like the Hyrax, the pit bulls, and the super swapers the best. It all depends on your terrain

[@upgradedrc3697]

Keep watching all the upgrade videos in order. That how I decided what parts were necessary to replace and in that order of priority.

[@travissierra8519]

So the main thing is, you’re gonna get a lot of wheels scrub with whitening and this is an issue on the front end so if you have the stock servo that came with the vehicle you’re gonna need to upgrade it. Wider wheelbase equals more stress or notservo and all the linkage for the steering. Especially if you have portal axles. I put extensions on my TRX four, and after running it and doingRock crawling I have found that the service starts to heat up and loses 80% of its power in very little time. It is the stock servo.

[@upgradedrc3697]

Thanks, i didn't get any wheel scrub. My Gladiator is not stock by any means the links, suspension, axels, and portal have all been heavily modified and yes I am running a Reefs Raw 500 servo and a Holmes Hobby BRXL ESC with a BEC and i never got any scrubbing even with the stock S614 servo.

Good morning sir just wanna say I watched your videos like 20 times lol man to be honest you're the most detailed & honest person on this gladiator review with excellent camera 📷 & explaining tutorial... but I definitely got one question on the 15mm wheel spacers can you please tell me if these are the same ones?

[@upgradedrc3697]

Yep, those are the same ones. I still love mine, No Problems! Thanks for the great comment brother!

Your channel has been super helpful for my scx10 iii are you gonna do some school 24? Also where can I get those stickers?

I might do some upgrades to the 24, but I still have lots lined up for other builds at the moment! If you want a sticker, Give me your full address and I will send you one. Right now I only have red, white, and black. Let me know which color you want.

Weight gain of the wheel spacer, PLUS the 2 washers and the new bolt. So quite a bit more weight gain.

[@upgradedrc3697]

It helped out a little bit, when i added the brass diff covers i really noticed a difference!

[@tygger420]

Hey brother where did you buy those,looking to do the exact same thing

[@upgradedrc3697]

Sorry, they are no longer making these. But, Amazon sells the Hot Racing version for about the same price.

Hi ! Any more info on these spacers ? Looked online and no follow up at all ! Tried RC4WD and other places ! All help welcome ......cheers

[@upgradedrc3697]

I got these from my local hobby shop, and i know that they are having trouble getting more in right now. But i have ordered parts from RC4WD directly and had no problem. Sorry this is being so difficult for you. Ya, I looked a couple places for you and everyone says they are discontinued.

[@adamlafera1]

Search goolsky adapters on Amazon. They have them.

[@markdeprano8175]

I should give u mine couldn’t get them to work without tires rubbing on fenders and side plates

[@Nitro_Octane_Dually]

Where did you get these wheel spacers from?

[@upgradedrc3697]

RC4WD, but they discontinued them recently. Hot Racing makes some good ones on Amazon

[@Nitro_Octane_Dually]

Thank you for the heads up.

[@chrisburnsed6349]

You put out some unintentional Misinformation with the spacers. There 15mm wide. Not 15mm “wider”. You forgot to deduct the width of the stock hex to determine how much wider it is over stock. If you take the new 15mm and subtract your stock let’s say 5mm hex width hex , your now only 10mm “wider” on each wheel over stock. Easy mistake

[@rcjeepin6066]

Will these fit on the scx10 iii jeep rubicon ???
