Axial SCX24 Jeep Gladiator 1:24 4WD RTR blue

Great body details

In addition to the officially licensed attractive finished body, the SCX24 ™ Jeep® JT Gladiator features a detailed interior with seats and driver and mounted carrier, roof tent and accessories.

Rigid metal side panels

Like the Axial SCX10 platform in 1:10 scale, the Axial SCX24 chassis has robust steel rails on the chassis frame and reinforcements that keep the chassis stiff enough even when the axles are misaligned.

Powerful engine with gearbox

The RC model of the Axial SCX24 car is powered by a Tazer 180 series DC motor with 88 threads on the armature. The engine has the optimum torque needed to drive up steep inclines. It is mounted on a metal engine bed, which helps the engine cool down and keep the temperature at an optimal level

Worm gears

The front and rear differentials are equipped with worm gears that deliver very high torque to the axles, also ensure brake function and, thanks to their small dimensions, create the greater ground clearance needed to overcome obstacles.

Front and rear rigid axles

The front and rear axles consist of a two-piece molded composite fixed axle box. For optimal handling, the SCX24 ™ suspension is equipped with a three-point front and four-point rear suspension.

Steel axle shafts

When using worm differential gears, the transmission of torque to the wheels is ensured by steel shafts, which have high resistance and rigidity when engaging the wheels. The torque is transmitted by a pin on the hexagonal hubs.

Grooved drive shafts

The front and rear drive shafts between the transmission and the front and rear axles are splined shafts that allow large axial displacement and maximum torque transmission.

Functional shock absorbers

Even a small RC car can have mock-up shock absorbers with imitation auxiliary tanks. Despite the simple construction with a coil spring and a plastic body, the shock absorbers are perfectly functional.

Installed LED front lighting

Two bright white LED lights are factory-installed in the front bumper to illuminate the area in front of the vehicle. Drive at dusk or at night.

4-point rear suspension

The rear fixed axle suspension geometry uses a 4-element design that is optimized to reduce axle steering and torsion from wheel drive torque.

KMC XD Machete licensed discs and Nitto Trail Grappler tires

The officially licensed KMC XD Machete bike discs are legendary in the world of off-road vehicles. They are pressed in black and have stunning model details. The officially licensed Nitto Trail Grappler tires offer a fantastic combination of off-road performance while maintaining excellent road performance.

Folding body

The folding body system offers easy access to the components on the chassis. You can quickly have the battery and chassis available by removing only one body clip and tilting the body up.

Equipped with ball bearings

The model is fully equipped with ball bearings, both in the gearbox and in the axles and drives. You can drive without worrying about the wear of the plain bearing.

Powerful Axial AS-1 power steering

A key component in expedition RC car models is a sufficiently strong servo steering with a robust mechanism. Directly above the front axle is the Axial AS-1 power steering with servosaver, which allows precise steering while providing protection for the servo gears and electronics in the event of a steering obstacle or a collision with the front wheel.

Recommended batteries

For more fun and longer operation, we recommend purchasing another battery:

• Replacement LiPo battery 7.4 V 350 mAh

Recommended universal chargers for faster charging

• Charger with mains power supply Spektrum S150 with one 50W output.
• Mains charger Spektrum S1100AC with one 1x100W output.

A charging cable with IC3 battery reduction - JST-PH is required to connect the battery to the charger.

Car socket charger

The Hobbyzone charger 12VDC 2xLiPol 300mA can be used to charge the battery. The charger is designed for connection and power supply from a 12V DC car plug. For power supply from the 230V mains, we recommend the Traxxas 13.8V 3.5A mains supply with car socket.

Accessories for normal operation

For normal operation of the Axial RC car, you need tire glue, bolt glue and a tool kit. From our range we recommend an affordable set of tools for RC cars. Screws in inch units are also used on the model, so we recommend the Medial Pro 1/20 "Allen screwdriver.

The tire glue adheres the tires to the rim of the disc. It is always necessary that the tire is firmly glued to the wheel rim around the entire circumference! If the tire is not stuck around the entire circumference, it may rupture. The tire adhesive has a special composition that is able to bond materials such as rubber or nylon, and at the same time the adhesive is flexible after hardening. We recommend Robitronic Tire Glue from our offer.

Screw glue is required for routine maintenance. Screws screwed into the metal material (eg screws in the motor, pin in the pinion) must be secured against loosening with this adhesive.

Protective covers for batteries

Protective covers are designed to reduce the risk associated with transporting and charging batteries. LiPo batteries can, while maintaining small dimensions and low weight, provide high discharge currents and have a large capacity for long travel times. On the contrary, the LiPo battery is particularly susceptible to mechanical damage.
