Overview
The Axial Pin 2.5x12mm (6) Z-AX30165 is an essential replacement spare part for RC enthusiasts who own Axial scale crawlers and rock buggies. Whether you're a dedicated RC hobbyist in the UK looking to maintain your rig or a serious competitor who demands reliability, these genuine Axial pins are manufactured to exacting tolerances to ensure superior performance. As a drivetrain and suspension component, these pins are critical to the mechanical integrity of your RC model, keeping crucial assemblies together and functioning smoothly through rough terrain and demanding off-road conditions.
If you own an Axial SCX10 III, Capra, Yeti XL, or similar scale crawler, you'll eventually need replacement pins to maintain peak performance. Wear and tear from bashing, racing, and regular use means drivetrain spares become necessary maintenance items. The Axial Pin 2.5x12mm (6) offers excellent value and genuine quality, giving you peace of mind that you're fitting authentic Axial components designed specifically for your model. This pack contains six pins, providing you with multiple replacements or the ability to service several models at once.
Stainless steel construction ensures these pins resist corrosion, maintaining their integrity even in wet UK weather conditions or after water crossings during your RC adventures. Whether you're rebuilding your transmission, refreshing suspension linkages, or simply restocking your spares box, the Axial Pin 2.5x12mm (6) Z-AX30165 is the perfect choice for genuine, reliable RC parts.
Key Features
- Genuine Axial Replacement Part — These pins are manufactured by Axial to the same exacting tolerances as factory components, ensuring perfect fitment and reliability in your RC model with no compatibility issues.
- Stainless Steel Construction — The pins are made from stainless steel, which actively resists corrosion and oxidation, protecting them from rust even when exposed to moisture, wet terrain, or challenging weather conditions during outdoor RC play.
- 2.5mm Diameter with 12mm Length — These specific dimensions are engineered to fit perfectly into the drivetrain and suspension assemblies of compatible Axial models, providing secure mechanical connections without binding or looseness.
- Pack of Six Pins — You receive six pins in each pack, giving you multiple replacement options and the ability to service several components or models without needing to reorder frequently.
- Drivetrain and Suspension Application — These versatile pins work across multiple areas of your RC model's mechanical systems, making them an essential item to keep in your spares box for quick maintenance and repairs.
Technical Performance
The Axial Pin 2.5x12mm represents precision engineering in miniature form. At 2.5mm diameter and 12mm length, these pins are precisely dimensioned to interface with the transmission components, suspension linkages, and other drivetrain assemblies found in modern Axial scale crawlers. The stainless steel material selection demonstrates Axial's commitment to durability and longevity, as stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard steel pins. This is particularly important for RC enthusiasts in the UK where wet weather and damp storage conditions are common. The pins' consistent manufacturing means they'll provide reliable mechanical connections without play or movement that could affect your model's handling and performance. Whether you're running an Axial SCX10 III in various configurations—whether the Jeep JLU Wrangler with portals, the Jeep JT Gladiator, the SCX10 III Base Camp rock crawler, the Coyote RTR, the 1987 Toyota SR5, the Early Ford Bronco, or other variants—these pins are engineered to perform flawlessly. For those operating an Axial 1/8 Yeti XL 4WD Kit or exploring portal axle conversion kits with SCX10 Pro platforms, these pins provide essential mechanical connectivity. Genuine Axial parts ensure you're maintaining your investment with components designed specifically for your model's requirements and tolerances.
