1/6 sacale Jeep Gladiator build.

[Mike Flea]

Looks and runs well!

[Norton]

Thanks, It's going to need some tweaks here and there but for it's first time out it wasn't to bad.

I like both of your jeeps! Especially the willys! The Gladiator is very cool especially the weathering, but i think i like the willies a little better. Great build and looking forward to how the Willies turns out!! What are the specs of the gladiator? i think ealier you mentioned that the wb was 19" but i dont see the width length or height.

Gladiators WB is 19.5". 26" Long, 11 1/2 wide and 12" tall. It has 4" of ground clearance.

It's getting real close to being done. Head lights, running lights and light bar are next. Then some scale goodies.

Quick vid:
Some serious power being thrown at the tires!

Cool thanks, i like the engine sound effects! Im gathering parts now for a large scale scratch build of my own coincidentally it will be about the same size as yours just a little bit longer.
-31 inches long
-14 inch bed (its aproximatly 1/7 scale 8 foot bed)
-11.5 inches wide
-and at least 13 inches tall
-rolling on super swamper xls (approximaty 1/7 scale 40 inch tires)
its going to be huge!

A little HeyOk goodness!

Getting close. Organize all the wires, finish the interior and some other odds and ends.

Very nice job on the Gladiator. Video is great. I was hoping the tires would NOT grab and launch it off the table. I've done it.

Now that's cool! That sounds like a V-8, I heard one on another forum, guy put on a Tundra, and it sounded more like a Sherman Tank. Where did you get the sound board from?

[stelerzman]

I'd like to know more about the sound box as well.

V8, Diesels, 4 bangers, turbo, brake, shifting, horn sounds etc.
Pretty cool user interface, some stock sounds come with it and
you can download others for $2.00.

looks great! What LEDs did you use for the headlights, those things are bright.

[Norton]

Standard Axial LED with the simple light controller. Powered by 3s though.

Back to work on the Willy's for a bit. Laying down some diamond plate and getting the seats mounted.

Driver showed up today!

[Mike Flea]

I like the diamond plate, where did you get it, and is it metal or plastic?

[Norton]

Aluminum: Hot Racing 1/10 scale aluminum Diamond Plate 9 x 11

[Solid94]

Not to thread jack but I found some plastic diamond plate at my LHS. Made by plastistruct. It's train scenery sheets

[stelerzman]

Great idea for the diamond Plate. I'm damn sure gunna do the same, but only the rear section and floor boards on the inside. Also, rear rockers on the outside.

Your rig is fantastic. . Keep it up.

Same stuff I used on the orange Jerp, it actually scales out to about 1/8th scale. It works great on these big vehicles, and it looks really great after it gets some trail rash on it. I applied a thin layer of shoe-goo with a squeegee then laid on the wrap. It wasn't come off in 4 years.
