| Re: dmacs Gladiator These are the ones on it. I'm really happy with the front bumper, but wish the rear was a tad wider. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 |

| Re: dmacs Gladiator Ah cool! There seems to be a pretty good interest in this stuff around here. My son and I are going out for the first time with the Diff Draggers tomorrow, should be a good time. Quote:

I was talking to Greg at MSC and he said the crawler scene around there kinda died out and went more to the basher side. Who / where are the Diff Draggers from? Never heard of them at all? |

It definitely is pretty amazing to be able to print pretty much anything and sometimes temporary or even permanent parts, where as on a 1:1, it’s not really possible. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk | |

Bashing is big, but I thought the crawler scene was picking up. I know there are a few half decently sized groups (well, at least decent size on FB). The Diff Draggers are a crawler group based out of Halifax. I was just at MSC tonight, and that’s where I bought my JT. Great bunch of people there! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | |

Being 3 hours away I don't get to MSC often but that's where my 10.3 JLU came from. | |

My CChand rear bumper arrived. I think it looks great on the truck! I still have to put the plate on, but I can’t find my tiny philips driver. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Heck yeah, I like it! Every time I see your rig, it makes me want to get a gladiator body lmao. I hope Axial sells the body separate with the expo rack like how Traxxas did the sport body. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk | |

I’m also getting there with the overland trailer. I want to get some 1.55 rims and tires, or find some small 1.9’s. Not sure what to put on the rack on the trailer either. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

That trailer is sick, I didn’t even know you had one in the works! I’d put another pelican case on it if I was you. Those tires kind of look like 1.9s, are they? What’s the dimensions of the trailer? Sorry for the questions, I am working on a trailer as well. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Last edited by ScaleLifeNewbie; 11-30-2020 at 07:58 PM. |

They are 1.9's, but are 4.75" ones. I can measure tonight (if I remember, lol). The trailer comes from this collection. I have the utility trailer version printed too. https://www.thingiverse.com/goodsons...scaler-trailer |

Lovin' the whole look of your Gladiator! I just picked up the Gladiator and should have some kind of thread up soon! I really like the looks of the rear bumper! Doesn't get anymore scale that that! Trailers look great too! You wouldn't happen to have a pic of the underneath of the trailers?? I've 3D printed a couple trailers, but wasn't sure which direction to go with the axle. |

I don't, no. The overland trailer has the axle that's included in the files, but for the cargo trailer I used a Gen 7 axle, and custom designed mounts for it to mount to the leaf springs. | |
