Frequently Asked Questions
- Which SCX6 models are these diff cover axle housings compatible with? — These components are confirmed compatible with the Axial SCX6 Jeep JLU Wrangler 4WD Rock Crawler RTR (available in Silver and Green colour variants), and the Axial SCX6 Trail Honcho 4WD RTR (available in both Sand and Red colour options). They function as either replacement parts for damaged originals or optional spare parts for drivers who want backup components on hand.
- Why would I need replacement diff cover axle housings for my SCX6 crawler? — During intense rock crawling, these protective covers can become cracked, chipped, or damaged from impacts against rocks and rough terrain. Additionally, if seals fail or housing integrity is compromised, contaminants can enter the differential cavity and cause internal damage. Having replacement housings ensures you can quickly restore your crawler to full function without waiting for repairs or extended downtime from your hobby.
- What is the purpose of the diff cover axle housing on an RC crawler? — The diff cover serves as a protective barrier that shields the internal differential gears, bearings, and lubricating oil from external dirt, mud, water, and debris. This is critical for a 1/6 scale rock crawler like the SCX6 that operates in challenging outdoor environments. By keeping contaminants out of the differential assembly, these covers help maintain smooth power distribution to the wheels and extend the operational life of expensive internal drivetrain components.
- Why does this product come as a pair of two? — The SCX6 platform has independent front and rear differentials, each protected by its own cover. Supplying two housings allows you to replace both axles simultaneously, ensuring consistent protection and performance across the entire vehicle. Alternatively, having a pair means you maintain spare inventory for when replacements are needed in the future.
- Are these genuine Axial parts or aftermarket replacements? — These are genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Axial components, manufactured to the same specifications used in new SCX6 vehicles. This means perfect fitment, reliable performance, and the assurance that you're using parts designed and tested specifically for your crawler by the vehicle's engineers.
- Will I need any tools or specialist knowledge to fit these diff covers? — Basic RC maintenance skills and standard metric tools are typically required for removing damaged covers and installing replacements. If you're experienced with RC crawler maintenance, installation should be straightforward. However, if you're new to RC mechanics, RC Model Shop's team of experienced enthusiasts is available to provide guidance and support.
