Pure tinfoil hat stuff here: I suspect the release of the Gladiator is more or less just a cash-grab to try to capitalize on their present marketplace domination before Traxxas makes an appearance with a much better stock truck and takes over the market share just like they did with the TRX-4. All the photos still show the v1 electronics and literally all they did was combine the already-existing long wheel bases and yet they still aren't even actually for sale yet.
The portals could easily be the Panda Hobby 1/24 that comes with portals or even Chinese clones of the 3 or so SCX24 portal axles available. I doubt the Gladiator Is some last minute cash grab. They're just doing what's expected from the beginning that almost every RC manufacturer does. They released a new platform that's doing well so they are pushing out as many variations on wheelbase and bodies with slight changes to electronics so they don't have to develop new axles and transmissions just yet.

If Traxxas created a 1/24 it would probably use larger 1/18 scale parts and they'd just call it 1/24
