Overview
Keep your RC model secure with the Axial 3mm Body Clip with Tab in black. Whether you're running a 1/24 scale SCX24 crawler, a trail truck, or any other compact RC vehicle, body clips are an essential component for keeping your model's bodywork firmly in place during intense driving sessions. These replacement clips come as a pack of 10 pieces, making them ideal for hobbyists who want to keep spares on hand. For anyone serious about their RC car UK collection, having multiple body clips available means less downtime and more driving enjoyment.
The 3mm body clip is specifically designed for smaller-scale ready to run RC models and crawlers where precision fitment is crucial. Unlike larger body clip formats, the 3mm size provides the perfect grip for compact chassis while maintaining the lightweight characteristics that 1/24 scale models demand. Whether you're a beginner exploring the world of RC vehicles or an experienced basher looking for reliable replacement parts, these clips deliver consistent performance across a wide range of Axial models and compatible platforms.
Each clip features an installed black grab tab, which makes installation and removal significantly easier compared to clipless designs. The grab tab provides a convenient point of contact when you need to swap bodies quickly between driving sessions or when performing maintenance. This thoughtful design detail demonstrates Axial's understanding of what RC enthusiasts need in their toolkit.
Key Features
- Pack of 10 Body Clips — This generous quantity means you'll have plenty of spares for multiple models, lending sessions with friends, or simply for stock rotation as clips wear over time. Having a full set on hand prevents frustrating delays when you need to fit a body quickly.
- Pre-installed Grab Tabs — Each clip comes with a black grab tab already fitted, eliminating the need for additional assembly and providing an ergonomic grip point when installing or removing bodies from your RC chassis. This integrated design saves time and prevents lost components.
- 3mm Diameter Design — The 3mm size is specifically engineered for smaller-scale RC vehicles, particularly the popular 1/24 scale models like Axial's SCX24 range, ensuring a secure fit that won't damage delicate plastic bodywork or chassis mounting points.
- Universal Compatibility — These body clips are compatible with a wide range of Axial models including the SCX24 series (such as the 1967 Chevrolet C10, 2019 Jeep Wrangler JLU, Dodge Power Wagon, Ford Bronco, and Toyota 4Runner), making them a versatile addition to any RC enthusiast's spare parts collection.
- Black Colour — The black finish complements most RC model bodywork and provides a professional, understated appearance that won't distract from your vehicle's graphics and livery.
- Durable Construction — Built to withstand repeated installation and removal cycles, these clips maintain their holding strength over extended use, ensuring your body stays secure during aggressive driving, jumps, and rocky terrain traversal.
Technical Performance
The 3mm body clip is a fundamental chassis component engineered for precision and reliability in smaller-scale RC applications. Manufactured by Axial, a respected brand in the ready to run RC and rock crawler market, these clips utilise a proven design that has become industry standard for 1/24 scale models. The 3mm diameter specification ensures compatibility with the mounting posts found on compact chassis frames whilst providing sufficient clamping force to secure plastic bodies without over-tightening or causing damage. The integrated grab tab is manufactured from the same durable material as the clip itself, creating a monolithic component that won't separate during use. Unlike older designs where tabs were glued or riveted on, this integrated approach ensures longevity and eliminates the possibility of losing the tab during a particularly rough bash session. The black finish is applied to all components, providing consistent appearance and subtle UV protection. Each clip in the 10-piece pack is individually finished to the same quality standard, ensuring reliable performance across the entire set. The design has been proven across hundreds of thousands of vehicles in the Axial SCX24 lineup, making it a genuinely field-tested component that delivers consistent results in both casual and competitive RC car UK environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What Axial models are these body clips compatible with? — These 3mm body clips are compatible with an extensive range of Axial vehicles, including the AX24 XC-1 4WS Crawler, SCX24 1967 Chevrolet C10 4WD Truck (both V2 and original versions), SCX24 2019 Jeep Wrangler JLU CRC, SCX24 B-17 Betty Limited Edition, SCX24 Base Camp 4WD Rock Crawler, SCX24 Deadbolt, SCX24 Toyota 4Runner, SCX24 Ford Bronco (Heritage and standard editions), SCX24 1971 Chevrolet C10, SCX24 Lexus GX 470, and SCX24 Dodge Power Wagon. If you own any 1/24 scale Axial model, there's an excellent chance these clips will be the correct fit.
- Why would I need replacement body clips for my RC car? — Body clips wear out over time due to repeated installation and removal, exposure to UV light, and general use. Additionally, if you're an active RC hobbyist, you may want clips for multiple bodies so you can swap between different shells without waiting for re-assembly. Having a full pack of 10 means you'll never be caught without a spare, and it's a genuine false economy to try to stretch the life of worn clips that may fail unexpectedly.
- Are these suitable for rough terrain and rock crawling? — Absolutely. These clips have been extensively tested in demanding conditions across Axial's rock crawler and trail truck lineup. The integrated grab tab design actually provides superior security compared to older clip formats, as there's no possibility of a tab becoming loose or separating during extreme off-road driving. Many UK RC enthusiasts use these clips on vehicles that see regular action on rocky, muddy, and challenging terrain.
- Do I need any tools to install these body clips? — No specialised tools are required. Simply align the clip with the mounting posts on your chassis and press firmly until you feel it seat fully. The grab tab provides excellent leverage for both installation and removal. If the clip is particularly tight, a small flathead screwdriver can be used to gently help separate the clip from the post during removal, but this is rarely necessary.
- How many spare clips should I keep? — A pack of 10 is an excellent quantity for active RC hobbyists. You might have one or two clips installed on active vehicles, a few more in reserve for different body configurations, and the remainder stored as long-term spares. If you run multiple 1/24 scale vehicles, you may find yourself purchasing additional packs regularly.
