Key Features
- Genuine Axial Component — This is an official Axial OEM (original equipment manufacturer) part, ensuring it meets the exact specifications and quality standards that Axial engineers designed into the SCX6 platform. You're not buying an aftermarket approximation; you're getting the genuine article that will fit and perform exactly as intended.
- Precision Chassis Bracing — The rear chassis and shock tower brace maintains the structural rigidity of your SCX6's chassis, which is essential for consistent suspension geometry and handling characteristics. A properly braced chassis translates directly to more predictable handling and better performance over rough terrain.
- Suspension Geometry Protection — By keeping the shock tower properly supported and aligned, this brace ensures your suspension operates within its designed parameters. This is particularly important for rock crawling applications where suspension articulation and precision geometry directly impact climbing ability and obstacle-clearing performance.
- Universal SCX6 Compatibility — This part fits both the Axial SCX6 Jeep JLU Wrangler and the SCX6 Trail Honcho models, making it a versatile addition to any SCX6 collection. Whether you're running Silver, Green, Sand or Red variants, this brace integrates seamlessly.
- Easy Replacement Installation — Replacing this component requires only basic RC tools and mechanical knowledge, making it accessible to users of varying experience levels. The straightforward installation means you can get back to driving quickly.
- Affordable Maintenance Solution — Priced at £10.44, this is an economical way to address chassis wear or damage without requiring expensive complete chassis replacements or extensive repairs.
Technical Performance
The SCX6 Rear Chassis & Shock Tower Brace is engineered from durable materials designed to withstand the rigorous demands of 1/6 scale rock crawling and off-road driving. Axial's engineering team has optimised this component to provide maximum structural support whilst maintaining the lightweight characteristics necessary for optimal vehicle performance. The brace works in concert with the SCX6's chassis design to maintain precise suspension geometry, ensuring that shock towers remain square and aligned with the chassis frame. This alignment is critical for performance: even minor deviations in shock tower positioning can affect suspension travel, ride height, and the vehicle's ability to navigate obstacles. The component integrates seamlessly with the SCX6's existing suspension system, which features adjustable shock absorbers and a sophisticated climbing geometry. By maintaining the structural integrity of the rear chassis assembly, this brace helps ensure consistent performance across varying terrain types, from smooth dirt tracks to rocky crawling courses. The part has been tested and validated for use with the complete SCX6 range, including all colour variants and both the Wrangler and Trail Honcho models.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which SCX6 models is this brace compatible with? — This part is compatible with the Axial 1/6 SCX6 Jeep JLU Wrangler 4WD Rock Crawler RTR (available in Silver and Green) and the Axial 1/6 SCX6 Trail Honcho 4WD RTR (available in Sand and Red). All variants use the same chassis mounting points, so the brace will fit without modification.
- Do I need this part if my SCX6 is new? — If your SCX6 is brand new, this part comes pre-installed as part of the chassis assembly. You would only need this replacement if the original becomes damaged, bent, or worn during use. Many experienced drivers keep a spare on hand for quick field repairs.
- Is this difficult to install? — No. This is a straightforward replacement component that requires only basic RC tools and mechanical knowledge. Most users can complete installation in 15-30 minutes. If you're comfortable performing basic RC maintenance, you'll have no difficulty with this part.
- What happens if the shock tower brace is damaged? — A damaged or bent shock tower brace will allow the shock towers to misalign, leading to uneven suspension geometry, handling inconsistency, and reduced climbing performance. In extreme cases, it can contribute to accelerated wear on shock absorbers and suspension components. Replacing it promptly restores proper geometry and protects other components.
- Can I use this part on other Axial models? — No. This brace is specifically engineered for the SCX6 platform and its unique chassis geometry. It is not compatible with other Axial models such as the Capra, Utopia, or other rock crawlers. Always use SCX6-specific parts for SCX6 vehicles.
- How often should I replace this brace? — Under normal use, the chassis brace should last the lifetime of your vehicle. You would typically only replace it if it becomes damaged through impact or if you notice alignment issues. It is not a wear item like tyres or shock oil.
