Axial 1/10 SCX10 III Motobilt Waypoint Jeep JT Gladiator

The Extended Wheelbase Advantage: At 13.9 inches, the longer wheelbase makes it exceptionally stable on steep hill climbs and high-speed uneven terrain. It spans gaps and handles washouts smoothly where shorter rigs might pitch forward. The Bobbed Bed: Unlike the standard scale Gladiator which can drag its rear overhang on steep drops, this "Waypoint" edition features a bobbed (shortened) bed. This drastically improves the departure angle, letting you slide off ledges without getting hung up. Dig Function Utility: Operated via the third channel on the Spektrum SLT3 transmitter, the factory-installed Dig locks the rear axle while the front wheels pull. This allows you to pivot sharply around tight rock corners or navigate narrow hairpin turns that would otherwise require multi-point backing up. Grip: The combination of AR45 straight axles, high-clearance differential housings, and soft-compound Maxxis Trepador tires on genuine beadlock wheels gives it a strong bite on loose dirt and slick rock right out of the box.
How It Compares to Standard SCX10 III Models.
More Aggressive Custom Look: Standard SCX10 III models usually replicate factory-stock trucks. The Motobilt Waypoint edition mimics a heavily customized, aftermarket-built rock rig complete with heavy-duty steel-styled Motobilt bumpers, integrated Baja Designs LED lighting (LP6s and S2s), and bed accessories (CO2 tank and Hi-Lift jack). Chassis Rigidity: Because of the stretched 13.9-inch frame, Axial uses reinforced, expandable steel C-channel rails designed to minimize frame twist, ensuring the suspension geometry takes the load rather than the chassis flexing out of shape.
