Axial RC Truck 1/10 SCX10 III Jeep JT Gladiator Rock Crawler with Portals RTR, Gray

Axial is where RC adventures begin! With an Axial radio control rig, you're sure to have the most exciting and enjoyable off-road RC adventures possible — whether you're exploring trails while hiking with friends and family or joining other RC rock crawling fans for a club outing or radio control crawling event.

The first RC rock crawling vehicles appeared in the early 1980s but only looked the part. It took Axial, founded in 2005 and based in California, to incorporate full-scale off-road design elements into the RC rigs that now represent the best in the radio control crawler category.

Axial takes special pride in combining authentic looks with realistic and reliable operation. We develop partnerships with the most popular full-size automotive brands to maximize the scale appeal of our radio control rigs to full-size off-road enthusiasts.

The 1/10 scale Axial SCX10 III Jeep JT Gladiator 4WD RTR marks the next step forward in ready-to-run, scale off-road action. While continuing to incorporate key components that have made SCX10 vehicles successful, the SCX10 III chassis increases realism with details that include a replica V8 engine to house the front-mounted 540 brushed motor, mated to a realistic transmission housing and transfer case like a 1:1 vehicle. The Spektrum DX3 3-channel 2.4GHz DSMR transmitter and Firma 40A ESC/receiver are also ready to give you the advantages of innovative Spektrum Smart technology.

Out of the box, the SCX10 III Jeep JT Gladiator transmission offers a third-channel DIG function that lets you lock the rear axle from the transmitter for front wheel drive and a tighter turning radius. Though locked out from the factory, you can set up the vehicle to have a 40% faster second gear instead of DIG — or, by adding another micro servo and using a radio with at least four channels (such as the 5-channel Spektrum DX5), have simultaneous access to both the DIG and two-speed functions.

The SCX10 III Jeep JT Gladiator uses new AR45 portal axles to improve performance by increasing the ground clearance and reducing torque twist. The motor is located at the front of the chassis for forward weight. The standard battery tray is positioned near the vehicle's center for improved balance and accepts full-size LiPo or NiMH packs. There are also locations in the side pods for drivers who prefer smaller "shorty" LiPo packs.

Topping off the chassis is a scale Jeep JT Gladiator body that mirrors its full-size counterpart with many highly authentic details. The body has over 20 injection-molded parts including a bed rack, door handles, mirrors, hood vents and more — taking polycarbonate body realism to the next level. The body has been split into three pieces for a more realistic deep bed.

With the Spektrum DX3 radio, you'll enjoy the superior range, response, and interference resistance of DSMR technology. Together with the installed Firma Smart 40A ESC/receiver, it also offers the advantages of exclusive Spektrum Smart technology. Install a Spektrum Smart LiPo battery and you can view vehicle battery capacity at a glance on the DX3 transmitter's voltage level indicator.
