TwistedXT's - Jeep Gladiator - AKA Shovel no more!!!!!!!
 

Ive wanted to build this thing since Walmart had em on the shelf, but i wasnt about to pay 100 bucks for the body. Then, thanks to typical walmart business practices, i picked one up and scanned it, she came up $35.00 and was still marked at $89.99!!! SOLD! so i brought her home and started searching for a set of axles, Thanks to Vitamin J, he hooked it up with a set of EMAXX axles and here we go.

Parts so far:
Walmart 1/6th Jeep Gladiator Body
front and rear EMAXX axles
TXT tranny
2 35 turn lathe motors
Novak XR
Hitch 805BB Servo
going to start building a custom tuber chassis with class 3 hitch
(guess what will hook up to the hitch?) Trailer will be built after this is done."thumbsup"

time to start building!! :twisted:

looks cool

Thats going to be X-TRA LARGE!!!!!...right on brah!!

I'd lower it so the wheels are in the wheel wells.

Wow that makes maxx wheels look small!

I agree, but looks like a good start.


Why doesn't Wal-Mart Canada bring these cool lookin' rigs in? They are so far behind, they think they're in first.
I still haven't seen a Nylint up here.

It is about time you built this"thumbsup"
I am glad I didn't send an offer on those axles now

No we're not bulding those type of trucks "Trucks!" builds now that Stacey is gone.

i agree i needs to be lowerd a bit ive hardy ever see a tow rig thit high.

If I could figure out how to post pics. I would post some of my Gladiator on clod axles. Just got finished with the frame and mounted the axles.

keep in mind that its a moch up pic... i couldnt get the body to sit where i wanted it... i should be starting the chassis in a day or so... will try to get better mock up pics tonight... gotta still clean up my work bench from the last build...

any updates?

I think he's gonna keep it under wraps and then pop out with a ta-da! It's finished!!:lol:
