Axial SCX10 III “Jeep JT Gladiator” RTR 4WD Rock Crawler (Red) W/ Portals & DX3 2.4GHz Radio

Product Description

Axial SCX10 III “Jeep JT Gladiator” RTR 4WD Rock Crawler (Red) w/ Portals & DX3 2.4GHz Radio

The 1/10 scale Axial® SCX10™ III Jeep® Gladiator JT 4WD RTR marks the next step forward in ready-to-run, scale off-road action. While continuing to incorporate key components that have made SCX10™ vehicles successful, the SCX10™ III chassis increases realism with details that include a replica V8 engine to house the front-mounted 540 brushed motor, mated to a realistic transmission housing and transfer case like a 1:1 vehicle. The Spektrum™ DX3™ 3-channel 2.4GHz DSMR® transmitter and Firma™ 40A ESC/receiver are also ready to give you the advantages of innovative Spektrum™ Smart technology.

Out of the box, the SCX10™ III Jeep® Gladiator JT transmission offers a third-channel DIG function that lets you lock the rear axle from the transmitter for front wheel drive and a tighter turning radius. Though locked out from the factory, you can set up the vehicle to have a 40% faster second gear instead of DIG — or, by adding another micro servo and using a radio with at least four channels (such as the 5-channel Spektrum DX5), have simultaneous access to both the DIG and two-speed functions.

The SCX10™ III Jeep® Gladiator JT uses new AR45™ portal axles to improve performance by increasing the ground clearance and reducing torque twist. The motor is located at the front of the chassis for forward weight. The standard battery tray is positioned near the vehicle’s center for improved balance and accepts full-size LiPo or NiMH packs. There are also locations in the side pods for drivers who prefer smaller “shorty” LiPo packs. Inner fenders and floor sides hide internal components that would usually be visible from the side of the chassis.

Features at a Glance:

• Replica V8 engine cover, transmission housing and transfer case cover and protect the motor while improving scale appearance and adding forward-mounted weight.
• DIG function transmission option lets you lock the rear axle from the transmitter for front wheel drive and a tighter turning radius.
• Three-piece body provides a more realistic deep bed.
• Spektrum™ DX3™ DSMR® radio is fully compatible with the Smart telemetry potential of the installed Firma™ Smart 40A ESC/receiver.
• Ready to Run completion level comes with everything needed to operate besides a battery and compatible charger

In-Depth Features:

Extended Frame Rails – 13.9″ Wheelbase
Instead of creating a smaller body to fit the SCX10™ III chassis, our design team extended the wheel base with longer frame rails and chassis supports to provide a realistic version of the Jeep® Gladiator JT.

Topping off the chassis is a scale Jeep® Gladiator JT body that mirrors its full-size counterpart with many highly authentic details. The body has over 20 injection-molded parts including a bed rack, door handles, mirrors, hood vents and more — taking polycarbonate body realism to the next level. The body has been split into three pieces for a more realistic deep bed. Officially licensed Nitto Trail Grappler tires on 3-piece beadlock wheels add more scale realism and more grip on dirt, rocks, and all other off-road trails.

Spektrum™ Firma™ Smart 40A Brushed 4-Channel ESC/Receiver
With the Firma™ Smart 40A ESC/receiver and DX3™ transmitter, you’re equipped to experience the telemetry advantages of exclusive Spektrum™ Smart technology. Install a Spektrum Smart LiPo battery to follow vehicle battery capacity on the transmitter’s voltage level indicator. Drive with confidence in any weather and trail conditions — the electronics are also protected by a waterproof* design.

• Built-in 4-Channel DSMR® Receiver
• Integrated SMART Technology
• Dedicated LED power connectors
• Multiple protection points
• Waterproof design

LED Lights Included!
LED headlights and tail lights are included.

AR45 Portal Axles
Portal Axles like those found in some full-size off-roaders provide higher ground clearance and reduce the torque on other drivetrain components for improved performance. The new 6-Bolt locker and hypoid gears from the Capra are used front and rear, providing the same durability the Capra drivetrain is known for. Portal Axles like those found in some full-size off-roaders provide higher ground clearance and reduce the torque on other drivetrain components for improved performance. The ring and pinion gears are machined steel, including the locker. The design utilizes a six bolt design for durability.

Injection-Molded Features
The scale Jeep® Gladiator JT body mirrors its full-size counterpart with many highly authentic details. In addition, the body has over 20 injection-molded parts including a bed rack, door handles, mirrors, hood vents and more.

Dig Transmission with Two-Speed Option
The transmission arrives set up with a DIG function for locking the rear axle from the transmitter — giving you the tighter turning radius of front wheel drive on demand – Micro Dig Servo SPMSSX107 included! You can also choose to set up the vehicle for a two-speed transmission instead, by taking the included Micro Dig Servo and moving it to the two-speed linkage, which also requires disassembly of the transmission. The transmission also includes a full set of ball bearings and all metal internal gears for strength and durability.

Licensed 3-Piece Beadlock Wheels
Legendary in the off-road world, these officially licensed KMC XD Machete wheels are molded in black and include stunning scale details. Because they’re 3-piece beadlock wheels, tires can be mounted, removed and replaced easily without gluing.

Nitto Trail Grappler Tires (R35 Compound)
The R35 compound Nitto Trail Grappler tires included with the SCX10™ III Jeep® Gladiator JT are taller and wider (4.7 x 1.7), providing more ground clearance and more grip on dirt, rocks, and all other off-road trails.

Fender Liners and Floor Sides
The SCX10™ III Jeep® Gladiator JT body’s fender liners and floor sides hide internal components that would usually be visible from the side of the chassis.

Spektrum DX3 2.4GHz DSMR Transmitter
The included Spektrum™ DX3™ radio features exclusive DSMR® technology for superior range, response, and interference resistance. It’s also fully compatible with the Smart telemetry potential provided by the vehicle’s installed Spektrum™ Firma™ Smart 40A ESC/receiver.

Spektrum S614 Metal Gear Servo
The Spektrum S614 metal geared servo offers 201 oz-in of steering torque, a metal case for strength, and it’s waterproof* for extra protection against the elements.

AR45P Universal Axle Set
Universal joint axles provide more steering, and smoother action for a higher performing, efficient drivetrain.

• Up to 45 degrees of steering
• Smooth action for an efficient drivetrain
• Compact yet durable design
• Hardened steel construction

Chassis Mounted Servo
CMS has become a standard in scale RC and the SCX10™ III is designed with that standard in mind. The servo is mounted in the chassis, just as a full size Jeep has its steering box located on the frame. The suspension geometry is based on the SCX10™ II but refined slightly for the new chassis layout. The front suspension has been optimized to reduce bump steer, while the rear 4-link reduces torque twist.

Aluminum Adjustable Coilover Shocks
The oil-filled shocks have hard anodized, threaded bodies, a single coilover spring, plus an emulsion-style cap with screw for easier rebuilds. The shocks are tunable for achieving the best dampening rate. Their increased bore size also creates more fluid volume for better performance.

Stainless Steel Pivot Balls
All pivot points are on stainless steel balls that provide a durable, long-lasting suspension point.
