Axial 1/10 SCX10 III Motobilt Waypoint Jeep JT Gladiator Rock Crawler Introduction
Welcome to the world of extreme off-road diehards—those late-night garage builders with grease on their hands and adventure in their veins. The ones crafting machines built to push past ordinary terrain. Axial brings that spirit to life with a scale version in the SCX10 III Jeep JT Gladiator.
Axial partnered with Motobilt to create the officially licensed Jeep JT Gladiator build with authentic scale details. The durable polycarbonate body features Jeep's iconic 7-slot grille, detailed fender flares, molded door handles, hood vents, and side mirrors. Official Jeep production colors and detailed inner fender wells deliver the realism enthusiasts demand.
Both variants include Motobilt's Waypoint trim specs: front and rear bumpers with Baja Designs LP6 bumper lights and S2 bed rail lights, plus a scale 15 lbs. CO2 tank and Hi-Lift jack in the bed. Officially licensed Maxxis Trepador tires wrapped around KMC Grenade beadlock wheels provide an aggressive tread and excellent grip for trail crawling.
The AR45 straight axles feature a driver offset differential housing on the front axle. Oil-filled aluminum-bodied shocks with single coil-over springs are fully tunable. The front 3-link and rear 4-link suspension uses 6mm stainless steel links and pivot balls for durable off-road capability. The expandable steel C-channel chassis rails with 13.9” wheelbase reduce frame flex and improve suspension performance.
The improved SCX10 III Panhard bar mount features two-piece construction with double shear protection. The skid plate offers multiple upper link mounting options for fine-tuning suspension geometry and anti-squat.
The Spektrum SLT3 transmitter and Firma 40A Brushed Waterproof ESC provide precise control. The third channel operates the Dig feature, locking the rear axle for front-wheel drive for navigating technical terrain. The S683 servo's 25T steel output gear handles tough conditions without failure.
Power comes from an Axial Slick Rock 35-Turn Brushed motor and Spektrum Firma 40A ESC, with bright LEDs for realistic night crawling. Silicone elastomer battery straps replace velcro for convenient battery access, accommodating standard or shorty battery packs.
Whether you're an experienced enthusiast or new to the hobby, the SCX10 III Jeep JT Gladiator delivers authentic styling and proven Axial performance right out of the box.
