Overview

The SCX10 has long been the RC platform of choice for scale trail enthusiasts. In 2022 Axial introduced the SCX10 III Base Camp 4WD RTR and gave cost-conscious crawling fans the chance to enjoy its performance and realism. Now comes a new way to experience SCX10-based adventure — the SCX10 III Base Camp Builder's Kit.

Kit building is a hobby perfectly suited for Axial enthusiasts, many of whom are passionate about tinkering with and modifying their rigs. There's no better starting point for your adventure build than the Base Camp Kit. It's a classic crawling platform that carries a wealth of proven Axial quality and innovation.

Base Camp Kit advantages go well beyond the satisfaction of putting together your own rig. The assembly process makes you an expert on its engineering and a pro at maintenance and repairs. You're also able to express your individuality by choosing a body style you like and finishing it however you wish. By adding your personal preference in Tyres, wheels, and electronics, you create a custom crawler inside and out. Compared to buying an RTR rig that comes fully equipped, the kit ensures you won't pay for anything that you may not use.

Better still, the Base Camp Kit isn't just an unassembled version of the Axial RTR rig. It's an improved Base Camp. The transmission can be externally locked in standard 4WD, but it also has an optional, servo-actuated dig feature. Robust 6mm stainless steel links are included, as well as Standard AR45 straight axles. If you prefer portal axles, the LCXU transmission makes it easy to switch.

The Axial SCX10 III Base Camp Builder's Kit give you the perfect foundation for your adventuring — the proven SCX10 III steel C-channel chassis, an optimized suspension and steering, and a trail-tough drivetrain. When you add your choice of body, Tyres, wheels, and electronics, it's a rig you can truly call all your own.

SCX10 III STEEL C-CHANNEL CHASSIS

  • Tunable oil-filled shocks – optimise ride height and damping for different surfaces
  • 6 mm stainless steel multi-link suspension – deliver rock-steady articulation

  • Full ball-bearing drivetrain – reduce friction for efficient crawling
  • Comprehensive instruction manual – guide assembly and maintenance with confidence

What makes the Axial SCX10 III Base Camp builder’s kit ideal for customisation?

The Axial SCX10 III Base Camp builder’s kit gives builders full control over every component. Assembling the steel C-channel frame, LCXU transmission and AR45 axles by hand teaches maintenance skills and platform intricacies. Every turnbuckle, link and shock mount installs in clear sequence, so enthusiasts understand load paths and articulation points. The result is a chassis you know inside-out, ready to accept custom electronics, body shells and wheel-tire combos without guesswork.

Durable Axial adjustable C-channel chassis kit for precise articulation

The Axial adjustable C-channel chassis kit is cut from thick steel channel sections, welded to resist bending and torsion under heavy loads. Adjustable cross-member positions allow wheelbase tuning from tight-trail setups to full-scale replicas. Builders can slide the battery plate forward or rearward to fine-tune weight bias and achieve perfect climb-angle balance.

How does the Axial Base Camp LCXU dig transmission improve manoeuvrability?

The Axial Base Camp LCXU dig transmission locks into standard 4WD for straightforward crawling. Engage the optional servo-actuated dig feature to unlock rear-only drive, sharply reducing turning circle and tyre scrub. All-metal internal gears paired with full ball bearings handle torque spikes and keep performance smooth throughout the build’s life cycle.

Why choose the Axial SCX10 III straight axle crawler setup?

The Axial SCX10 III straight axle crawler configuration uses Standard AR45 axles designed to mimic full-size off-road rigs. These solid axles maximise ground contact and suspension flex in boulder-style terrain. Builders who crave authentic pinion-and-ring geometry and durable axle tubes will appreciate the realistic look and proven strength of this arrangement.

Optimised suspension with tunable shocks and stainless steel links

Oil-filled aluminium-bodied shocks feature threaded spring collars for rapid ride-height adjustments. Choose single-coil springs to match crawler weight and terrain aggression. Stainless steel 6 mm links resist bending under torsion, and all-metal pivot balls prevent wear-related slop—together creating a suspension system that outperforms plastic alternatives in harsh trail conditions.

How do you create a unique rig with the Axial SCX10 III C-AXI03011 kit?

Personalisation possibilities abound: paint your own 12.3 inch shell, swap in high-traction tyres, or fit a winch and LED arrays. As one of the best Axial SCX10 III rock crawler kit for custom builds, every bolt-on upgrade integrates seamlessly. Hobbyists seeking value will appreciate this affordable Axial Base Camp crawler builder kit for sale that doesn’t compromise on core performance.
