Axial Racing did it right with it's release of the Gladiator RC rock crawler. I'm not a RC guy, never owned one. But when I saw this, I had to have it...

Reviews from RC enthusiasts just give it an "ok" in performance. For me, it's really cool.

I've got one too! I've been into RC rock crawling for years. I took the bed rack off and it looks so much better IMO, and I wish it came with black rims....

Yes. It's quite a process from what I understand. Most RC lexan bodies are painted on the inside.

I stopped by the hobby store this morning while I was running errands and they had one in stock. I'm going to wait until they offer the kit so I can put in my own motor/electronics and paint it the way I want it. It was hard to leave it sitting there in the hobby shop though!

Did the hobby shop know when the kit might be available?
No, they just mentioned that it was a while between when the JL RTR was available and when the JL kit was available. Looking at the Axial site, there's probably only a few parts different between the JT and JL versions, so I may just try to figure out the different parts (body, extended frame rails) and buy the JL kit, then replace the JT-specific parts as I build it.

It would be awesome to have the R/C version of my actual truck. I did that with my car a couple of years ago and it was fun to drive to a place, then drive around the miniature version of my car. And it's cheaper to build an R/C version of a vehicle I own than to buy a vehicle to match the R/C version I own...

Yes with other screws. They are actually needed to hold the bed in place its a separate piece.

Looks good. I did the same thing. Found some M3 stainless. Fit right in. Thanks.
