SCX10 III Gladiator VS Axial Capra - with the same tires! Rock Course Test and Comparison.
The Axial SCX10 III Gladiator has RC Crawling lineage as fine as any. Just look at the Capra, its more gifted sibling! They share a lot of the same running gear. Even the wheelbase isn't all that different. So why is one so much better on the rocks than the others?
Turns out, there's one single mod you can make to the Gladiator that brings it WAAAAY up closer to the Capra. This may be one of the most valuable experiments we've done here yet. Check it out!
TEST TIRE:
The tire used as the equalizer for the tests was the:
Pro-line BFGoodrich® Krawler T/A® KX 1.9" Predator tires
[ Ссылка ]
The foams were a 2-stage (hard/medium rear, med/soft front) from Boom Racing. There are more expensive foams out there and alternatively, the Pro-Line tires do ship with their own single-stage memory foams. I may test foams at a later time but for where I'm at in knowledge and experience, I've found that simply getting hard/med in the rear tires and med/soft in the fronts gives good general rock crawling utility.
