Incredible Little Crawler with Big Performance!
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!

Another Amazing axial
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.

Sweet little rig, I'm hooked
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.

Excellent Jeep! So much fun!
Grandson said it was the best RC he’s ever had. Loves that it’s so much quieter than the others and can go up and down inclines without rolling on its own when he stops it midway. It’s lightweight and durable.

Our second SCX24
My son loves this truck (11 years old)-on weekends we spent racing at the hobby shop, he had decided this was the one he wanted. It's light, nimble, the battery charges quickly, it has prewired LEDs on the front bumper, the accessories are removable and it takes minimal space. We've designed a course for it to run on and he tests the capabilities all the time-plenty of roll overs and binding moments and yet, not breaking-it just keeps going. Whether inside or outside, there's always somewhere it can be driven and keep my son busy. It's far better than his phone or his switch. It's highly functional and agile in all conditions its been subjected to this far. For the price, its a very capable truck and a solid area of aftermarket support to make it even better.

A lot of the 1 star reviews seem to have the same problem
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.

Faulty Batteries
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).

Wicked good fun

Hoher Preis aber auch ein gutes Produkt- steht seinen 1:10 Geschwistern in nichts nach. Gerade dieses Modell mit etwas mehr Länge hat auch ein paar Vorteile beim Crawling. Zudem gibts auch hier viel Zubehör und Ersatzteile.

Es un gran producto, se siente de buena calidad y listo para usar!! Es el primer producto de Axial RC que compro y comparando con otras marcas (no reconocidas) la diferencia es abismal. Gran regalo de cumpleaños!

Atention ce crawler ne dépasse pas 2 km/h, de plus il a une marche arrière saccadée. Peu de changement en passant à 75 ou 50% où on rrive à 1,8 km/h. On se traine derriere sa voiture...

Me encantó desde el primer uso, muy bonita apariencia, excelente poder seleccionar tres velocidades y aunque no lo he retado con muchos obstáculos los pocos que ha enfrentado lo ha hecho muy bien, me parece muy recomendable y me ha dejado con ganas de adquirir algún otro Axial de alguna escala mas grande
