Axial SCX10 III Face-Off: Gladiator vs SR5 - Which One Wins?

We put two of Axial’s premier 1/10 scale rigs head-to-head on the rocks. Both share the legendary SCX10 III platform, but their real-world trail performance differs once the terrain gets technical. We test them back-to-back across vertical climbs, tight technical squeezes, breakover ledges, and off-camber side-hilling. Does the Gladiator's stretched 13.9-inch wheelbase give it the stability advantage on steep ascents, or does the classic SR5's nimble footprint, tight turning radius, and balanced overhangs steal the win?
