Default 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.









time to start building!!

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

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.
