Axial 1/10 SCX10 III Base Camp 4WD Rock Crawler Builders Kit

Axial 1/10 SCX10 III Base Camp 4WD Rock Crawler Builders Kit

The Axial® SCX10™ series has been a top choice for scale trail enthusiasts, and in 2022, Axial expanded the lineup with the SCX10 III Base Camp 4WD RTR. This version offered a cost-effective way for fans to experience the SCX10 platform’s performance and realism. Now, Axial introduces a new way to enjoy SCX10 adventures: the SCX10 III Base Camp Builder's Kit.

Designed for those who love to build and customize, this kit provides a perfect platform for constructing your ideal trail rig. With high-quality components, innovative features, and a proven chassis, it gives you everything you need to create a personalized crawler that stands out on the trail.

The Joy of Customisation

Kit building isn’t just about assembling a vehicle; it's an immersive hobby that allows enthusiasts to understand the engineering, perform maintenance, and make repairs with ease. The SCX10 III Base Camp Builder's Kit is more than just an unassembled version of an RTR model. It comes with enhancements, allowing builders to customize their rigs completely. By choosing your own body, tires, wheels, and electronics, you can tailor every aspect of your crawler to match your preferences and style. This approach ensures you only invest in the features you want without paying for pre-installed components you may not use.

Enhanced SCX10 III Platform

Unlike its RTR counterpart, the Base Camp Kit features an upgraded design. It includes robust 6mm stainless steel links, standard AR45 straight axles, and a versatile LCXU transmission. The LCXU transmission can be locked externally for standard 4WD use, and it also offers an optional servo-actuated DIG feature. This means you can enjoy sharper turns and better control, with the ability to upgrade to even more functionality if desired. The design is also flexible, making it easy to switch to portal axles if you prefer.

Core Features

The SCX10 III Base Camp Builder's Kit brings together the best of Axial’s innovations and quality, making it a solid foundation for your off-road adventures:

SCX10 III Steel C-Channel Chassis

The adjustable steel C-channel chassis is built to reduce frame flexing, ensuring precision suspension movement. It can also be adjusted to accommodate various body styles, allowing for more customization.

LCXU DIG Transmission

The included LCXU transmission features all-metal internal gears for superior durability. It can be externally locked for 4WD, and it also provides an optional DIG feature to lock the rear axle for tighter turns.

AR45 Standard Axles

The kit includes AR45 straight axles, which replicate the appearance and performance of full-size off-road vehicles. The transmission design also supports easy transitions to portal axles, adding even more versatility to your build.

Optimized Suspension with Tunable Shocks

Featuring 6mm stainless steel links and all-metal pivot balls, the suspension system is durable and adjustable. Tunable oil-filled shocks with aluminum threaded bodies and single coilover springs allow for fine-tuning to match your off-road needs.

Metal Panhard Mount

Normally considered an upgrade, the metal panhard mount is included as a standard feature, enhancing durability and performance on rugged terrain.
