Key Features
- 12mm Hex Design — The 12mm hex connection is the industry-standard interface for wheel hubs on modern scale crawlers, ensuring perfect compatibility with your Axial model and secure mechanical coupling that resists loosening under intense trail conditions.
- Complete Assembly — Each unit includes the screw shaft and spacer components pre-assembled, saving you time and ensuring correct installation without the risk of misalignment or missing parts during assembly.
- Pack of Four — This set contains four complete assemblies, providing front and rear drivetrain shafts for your 4WD RC crawler with spares for maintenance or future repairs.
- Genuine Axial OEM Part — Being an official Axial part number (AXI232018), you can trust this component meets factory specifications and quality standards for perfect fitment and performance on your crawler.
- Wide Model Compatibility — Designed to work across multiple Axial platforms including the Capra 1.9 UTB series and the complete SCX10 III Base Camp range, making this a versatile spare part for any serious Axial crawler owner.
Technical Performance
The 12mm hex shaft assembly is engineered from durable materials to withstand the tremendous forces generated during rock crawling, climbing, and aggressive off-road driving. The screw shaft design provides secure mechanical attachment to your wheel hubs whilst the integrated spacer maintains proper track width and wheel alignment geometry. These components are critical to maintaining correct suspension geometry and ensuring your crawler's wheels track perfectly parallel, which is essential for efficient climbing and stable handling on uneven terrain. The precision engineering of these shafts ensures they transmit power reliably from your differential to your wheels without flex or wobble, maintaining the structural integrity of your 1/10 scale RC crawler even during extended bashing sessions. Whether you're running your crawler on rocky trails, through water crossings, or tackling steep hillsides, these OEM Axial parts provide the reliability that serious RC enthusiasts demand from their equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Axial models are compatible with these 12mm hex shafts? — These parts fit the Axial Capra 1.9 UTB and the entire SCX10 III Base Camp range, including variants like the 1982 Chevy K10, Jeep CJ-7, Ford Bronco, Jeep JLU Wrangler, and Jeep JT Gladiator models. They also fit SCX10 III standard models and the SCX10 PRO. Compatibility includes both RTR (Ready to Run) and kit versions of these crawlers.
- Do I need to replace all four shafts at once? — Whilst this pack provides four complete assemblies, you can replace shafts individually as needed. However, having a complete set of four ensures you have spares on hand for when parts wear out during regular use, or if you need to perform complete drivetrain maintenance.
- Are these genuine Axial parts? — Yes, these are official OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts supplied by Axial directly. The part number Z-AXI232018 is the recognised Axial catalogue designation, guaranteeing authenticity and perfect compatibility with your crawler.
- What is the 12mm hex connection? — The 12mm hex is the standard mechanical interface used to connect wheel hubs to the drive shafts on modern 1/10 scale crawlers. The hexagonal profile ensures the hubs and shafts stay locked together without slipping, even under the massive torque loads generated during rock crawling.
- Can I use these on other RC crawler brands? — Whilst the 12mm hex connection is common across many brands, these shafts are engineered specifically for Axial models and fitment on other brands cannot be guaranteed. Always verify compatibility with your specific model before purchasing.
- How often do I need to replace these shafts? — Frequency depends on usage intensity, terrain difficulty, and driving style. Casual weekend drivers might replace shafts annually or less, whilst competitive crawlers may need replacement every few months. Regular inspection will reveal excessive wear, twisting, or bending that necessitates replacement.
