- Upper Link Mount Integration — The upper link mounts are precisely engineered to maintain correct suspension geometry and ensure reliable articulation across obstacles, which directly affects your vehicle's climbing ability and control.
- Purpose-Built for SCX10 III BC — Designed specifically for the Axial 1/10 SCX10 III Base Camp rock crawler platform, this part integrates seamlessly with your existing setup without modification.
- Comprehensive Compatibility — Works across the entire SCX10 III BC range including RTR (Ready to Run) models in multiple colours and the Builders Kit variant, as well as related models like the Jeep JT Gladiator, Coyote, Toyota SR5, Early Ford Bronco and Jeep CJ-7 variants.

Technical Performance
This skid plate and upper link mounts assembly represents Axial's engineering expertise in designing rock crawler chassis components that balance protection with precision. The skid plate itself provides crucial undercarriage protection by absorbing impacts from rocks, roots and obstacles that your SCX10 III BC encounters during off-road exploration. The upper link mounts are engineered to maintain precise suspension geometry, which is essential for proper articulation and climbing performance on technical terrain. In the rock crawling community, many UK enthusiasts recognise that these mounts are among the first components to wear or suffer damage through heavy use, making this genuine replacement part an invaluable addition to any serious crawler's spares box. The integrated design means both components work together as a system, providing protection whilst maintaining the suspension characteristics that make the SCX10 III BC such a capable platform. Built to the same standards as original Axial equipment, this part is designed for durability through repeated impacts and long-term use in demanding conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which SCX10 III models are compatible with this skid plate and upper link mounts? — This part (Z-AXI231047) is compatible with a comprehensive range of Axial SCX10 III rock crawlers including the Base Camp RTR in grey and white, the Jeep JT Gladiator with Portals RTR in black, the Base Camp Builders Kit, the Coyote 4WD RTR in both silver and blue, the 1987 Toyota SR5 4WD RTR, the SCX10 III Pro-Line 1982 Chevy K10 RTR, the 4WD Builders Kit, the Early Ford Bronco 4WD Scale Crawler RTR in both blue and white, and the Jeep CJ-7 4WD RTR Rock Crawler in both red and copper. It's essential to verify your specific model before ordering.
- Why would I need to replace the skid plate and upper link mounts? — During rock crawling and off-road exploration, the skid plate protects your chassis but can sustain cracks or deformation from heavy impacts. The upper link mounts may develop wear or damage through repeated articulation and stress. If you notice mounting play, difficulty in articulation or visible damage to these components, replacement is necessary for proper suspension performance and protection.
- Is this a genuine Axial part? — Yes, the Z-AXI231047 is an authentic Axial original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part. When you purchase from RC Model Shop, you're receiving genuine Axial components with full assurance of quality and fitment compatibility.
- What is a skid plate and why does my rock crawler need one? — A skid plate is a protective shield mounted underneath your RC rock crawler that absorbs impacts from rocks, roots and obstacles. Without a skid plate or with a damaged one, the delicate components underneath such as the transmission, differentials and other drivetrain elements are vulnerable to damage. This directly impacts your vehicle's performance and reliability during trail running.
- Can a beginner install these parts? — Installation of chassis components like skid plates and suspension mounts varies in complexity depending on your mechanical experience. If you're new to RC maintenance, you might benefit from consulting the official Axial manual for your specific SCX10 III model, or visiting an experienced RC hobby club in your area for guidance. Most intermediate RC hobbyists can handle this type of maintenance work.
