Default Gladiators.......mount up

Hopefully this is big enough to be considered large scale.

Thanks man! I've heard it called a 1/5th and a 1/6th. I haven't checked numbers to confirm.

If you look or search google you will find other Gladiator builds one that copied mine. I helped him with it and I don't think he finished it.
My wheel base is now 15 1/4" and has a much better turning radius. The best part is how clean the body and bed looks when this is done.

I have plans of rebuilding this Jeep again but using a 2 speed trans and Wraith axles.


I just became a RC4WD TEAM DRIVER. So I will make this a signature piece with the new drivetrain installed.

Here is a picture of the chopped up Gladiator next to my even bigger Jeep build a custom that has a 1/6 small block chevy motor in it. I have aluminum 1/5 wheels that really set it off!
