RC Truck SCX24 Jeep Gladiator 4 Wheel Drive Rock Crawler Brushed RTR (Nothing Needed to Complete Ready-to-Run), Black, AXI00005V2T5, Remote Control Car, RC Car, RC Crawler

I honestly didn’t expect this much capability out of such a small rig. The SCX24 Jeep Gladiator is hands-down one of the most fun RCs I’ve owned. Right out of the box, it’s solid — the detail on the Gladiator body is awesome, and it feels rugged despite its size. The longer wheelbase compared to other SCX24s gives it extra stability on climbs and side hills, which really helps when you’re crawling over rocks or trail obstacles. Battery life is surprisingly good — I get about 30–40 minutes of crawling per charge depending on terrain. The included transmitter is comfortable and responsive, and the proportional throttle makes precise crawling easy even for beginners. I’ve added a few small upgrades (brass wheel weights and better tires), but honestly, it performs great stock too. If you’re looking for a high-quality mini crawler that you can run indoors or outdoors, this little Jeep Gladiator is perfect. Durable, capable, and just a blast to drive. I’d give it 6 stars if I could!

As someone who's already deep into the SCX24 platform, I can't help but get a little giddy every time a new model comes out—especially when I find one on sale. The SCX24 has always been an amazing entry point into the world of RC crawling, and the Axial SCX24 Gladiator is a perfect example of why. This is my second SCX24, and it's easily my favorite of the bunch. ​What makes the Gladiator so great is its longer wheelbase and solid performance right out of the box. While the other SCX24 models are fantastic, the Gladiator's extended chassis gives it a more stable and capable feel on the rocks and trails. It's less prone to flipping backward on steep inclines, and the longer body, a fantastic scale replica of the real Jeep, looks incredible as it flexes over obstacles. ​Axial has really dialed in the electronics on the newer SCX24 models, and the Gladiator is no exception. The low-speed control is excellent, allowing you to make precise, slow movements to navigate technical terrain. You can truly feel the difference, and it makes the crawling experience so much more enjoyable. ​The SCX24 platform is already known for its huge aftermarket support, and the Gladiator is no different. From brass weights to better servos and motors, there are endless ways to customize and upgrade it. But honestly, even in its stock form, this truck is highly recommended. If you're looking for your first micro crawler or adding to your collection, and you see the Gladiator on sale, do yourself a favor and pick one up. You won't regret it.

This thing crawls really well, I am impressed. Lots of fun, tons of upgrades available. Took it out on the rocks and had a blast. Worth the money in my opinion. Really long run time. About to upgrade shocks, wheels, and tires for more clearance and grip.

Grandchild absolutely loves playing with his truck. They go and rock crawl. So much fun

My first crawler! Surprisingly, easy to drive. I did some quick research and found this to be one of the better options for starters and enthusiast alike. While there are cheaper options, the Axial trucks seem to hit the sweet spot for price and quality. The 1/24 is not a tiny car but it's also not huge. It's a perfect beginner size for someone who wants to get into the hobby without breaking the bank. The battery life is good. It looks great but the wheels could be better. Fortunately, there are tons of inexpensive upgrades. The prices only reflect the car cover. The internals are all the same.

3 Stars, I thought it was cool, pretty powerful never has an RC before but I was impressed with how well it could crawl, my kids loved this thing. It seems flimsy but it seemed pretty durable for inside the house and in the yard "Sunny days, did not drive through water or mud" BUT! After 1 month on the dot the truck or controller stopped working. Just dead, went to charge it and it does not move, than the steering stopped working also. So I'm returning it. Really disappointed.

This thing is much smaller and I thought it would be in very light. However with all that said it's still does very well at climbing and crawling through rocks and debris. Very entertaining vehicle especially if used inside but also good for outside in your gardens or over a small rocks. It actually handled much bigger rocks than I thought it was going to be able to. Lot of fun trying to see where you can take it and how to get through things without falling over. Truck is mostly plastic and does have a lot of a toy feel to it, and does have metal rails comes with a small two as battery and even though the motor is very tiny, this thing has a lot of power to move itself and quite a bit of torque. Battery life is very good also . I used it quite a few times and it ran it for and felt like forever. Battery is not going dead on me yet. They included charger is just a basic USB charger but for that small of a battery it works fine. Think it only took a few hours to charge

Unfortunately this RC Truck had faulty batteries. It would stop working unexpectedly. When we went to return the truck and replace it with a new one, the item had increased in price $30. The batteries were very tricky to charge as well - they need to be removed from the truck, which is hard even for little hands. Unfortunately we do not recommend this brand - wish we could, this was one of 3 Christmas gifts we gave our 2 sons (it was the big, exciting one - needless to say, it was a big disappointment).
