Agile, affordable, and upgradeable
The ready-to-run Axial® SCX10™ II Deadbolt™ 4WD is a budget-friendly, highly capable, and easily upgradeable RC rock crawler that's perfectly suited for both experienced adventurers and hobby newcomers. It combines rugged scale looks with the exceptional handling of the trail-ready SCX10 II chassis, in a 12" short wheelbase setup that's agile enough to take on twisty trails.
The SCX10 II remains one of the best 1/10 scale rock crawler chassis ever designed. This high-strength, C-channel chassis is made of durable steel with cross braces for reinforcement and rigidity. The contoured skid plate significantly reduces hang-ups, and the simplified design makes maintenance quick and easy.
Highly adaptable, the SCX10 II Deadbolt 4WD also features an adjustable wheelbase, adjustable body mount, adjustable bumper mounts with swaybar mounting points, and mounting points for an optional 2-speed transmission and servo winch. The included LCX AX10™ transmission, with a three gear layout, heavy-duty slipper, sealed gear cover, and all-metal gears, accepts a wide range of gearing options. Its overall ratio can be adjusted using different pinion and spur gear choices for super high speed or competition-level crawling speed.
Just as a full-size truck has its steering box located on the frame, Axial® places the Deadbolt's adjustable servo mount on the SCX10 II chassis frame and allows a wide range of servos to be used. Universal joint axles permit up to 45° of steering and provide an efficient, high-performance drivetrain. The single-piece AR44™ front and rear axles feature a moulded truss for extreme durability. The pinion gear is 6mm above centre for higher ground clearance and improved driveshaft angles. Metal dog bones and helical cut internal gears are standard equipment, and the drivetrain includes full, high-quality ball bearings.
The oil-filled shocks, with threaded bodies and a single coilover spring, can be tuned to meet the dampening demands of any trail. Realistic shock hoops with multiple mounting positions let you adjust the suspension for maximum performance. S30 compound, 4.7 x 1.9 wide Nitto Trail Grappler M/T tyres on METHOD 307 Hole wheels provide ample ground clearance for off-road trails and have a large block tread pattern for excellent bite in all terrain.
With a realistic driver figure and exterior cage complete with light bar (LED lights sold separately), the Axial® SCX10 II Deadbolt 4WD delivers scale excitement and class-leading performance in a convenient, ready-to-run package. Nearly all electronics, including a Spektrum™ SLT2 2.4GHz radio system, motor, and ESC, are supplied and installed. Just add your choice of batteries and charger and start your adventure!

What makes the Axial SCX10 II Deadbolt 4WD Brushed RTR chassis so durable?
The Axial SCX10 II Deadbolt 4WD Brushed RTR is built on a steel C-channel chassis reinforced with cross braces to ensure maximum rigidity. This high-strength frame is engineered to withstand the demands of off-road crawling while maintaining scale realism. The contoured skid plate reduces hang-ups on rocks and roots, while the simplified layout makes maintenance quick and efficient. Adjustable body and bumper mounts, swaybar mounting points, and compatibility with optional winch and 2-speed transmission systems make this chassis highly adaptable for evolving trail conditions.
How does the adjustable wheelbase improve trail performance?
The SCX10 II Deadbolt with adjustable wheelbase is configured at a 12" wheelbase by default but can be modified to 11.4" or 12.3" using optional link kits. This flexibility allows users to tailor the rig’s geometry to specific terrain challenges without compromising front-end suspension integrity. The rear suspension links and driveshaft length can be easily adjusted, giving users a streamlined method to optimise handling and stability for different crawling environments.
Transmission and drivetrain built for precision
The LCX AX10 transmission in the Axial SCX10 II Deadbolt 4WD Brushed RTR features a robust three-gear layout, heavy-duty slipper clutch, sealed gear cover, and all-metal gears. This setup supports a wide range of gearing options, allowing users to configure the rig for high-speed trail runs or slow, controlled crawling. The transmission’s adjustable ratio is a key asset for those seeking competition-level performance or casual trail exploration. The drivetrain includes AR44 high-pinion axles, metal dog bones, and helical cut internal gears, all supported by full ball bearings for smooth and reliable power delivery.
How do the oil-filled shocks enhance off-road control?
The Axial SCX10 II Deadbolt with oil-filled shocks features threaded shock bodies and single coilover springs that can be tuned to meet the dampening demands of any terrain. Realistic shock hoops offer multiple mounting positions, enabling users to fine-tune suspension geometry for optimal articulation and stability. This level of adjustability ensures the rig remains composed over uneven surfaces and steep inclines, delivering consistent performance across varied trail conditions.
Tyres and wheels designed for grip and realism
The licensed METHOD 307 Hole wheels on the Axial SCX10 II Deadbolt 4WD Brushed RTR feature a simulated beadlock ring and durable construction. Paired with S30 compound Nitto Trail Grappler M/T tyres measuring 4.7" x 1.9", the rig achieves excellent ground clearance and traction. The aggressive tread pattern ensures reliable grip across mud, gravel, and rocky surfaces, making the crawler highly capable in diverse environments.
Spektrum electronics for reliable control
The included Spektrum SLT2 2.4GHz radio system offers advanced features such as throttle limiting, steering rate adjustment, and trim controls. The FHSS protocol ensures extended range and interference-free performance. The Spektrum SLR300 receiver supports auxiliary functions and includes a bind port for powering accessories like lights or fans. The Spektrum S614 waterproof metal gear servo delivers 201 oz-in of torque, ensuring precise steering control even in wet conditions.
What makes the receiver box design so effective?
The water-resistant receiver box in the Axial SCX10 II Deadbolt 4WD Brushed RTR is mounted on the side plates to lower the centre of gravity and simplify access.

We want to make sure your delivery goes smoothly, so here are some important details about our service:
- For orders above £120, we offer delivery to most mainland UK addresses. For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm. Some highland and remote areas may carry an extra delivery charge as couriers often apply surcharges in these locations. If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
- Most of our products include delivery in the price. If your order is under £90, a small delivery fee will apply but do not worry this will always be clearly shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.

Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
