This genuine Axial spare part is specifically engineered for the SCX10 II Cherokee, one of the most respected 1/10 scale 4WD RC crawlers available in the UK market today. Whether you're a serious RC hobbyist looking to maintain your crawler's precise steering geometry or a weekend basher who needs reliable replacement parts, this threaded aluminium link delivers the engineering quality you expect from Axial's aftermarket spare parts range.

Key Features
- CNC Machined Aluminium Construction — This steering link is manufactured using precision CNC machining, which ensures consistent quality, tight tolerances and superior accuracy compared to cast alternatives, resulting in more responsive steering feel and longer service life on your RC crawler.
- Tapered Design — The tapered geometry reduces rotating mass and improves steering response, allowing your SCX10 II to react more quickly to steering inputs during technical trail driving or rock crawling obstacles.
- Drilled and Tapped for M4 x .5 Hardware — Pre-drilled and tapped holes accept standard M4 x .5 metric fasteners, eliminating the need for custom adapters and ensuring straightforward installation using tools you already own.
- Professional Grey Anodize Finish — The anodized coating provides corrosion resistance and a refined appearance, protecting the aluminium from oxidation and maintaining visual consistency across your build whilst withstanding the demands of outdoor off-road use.
- Genuine Axial Spare Part — This is an authentic OEM (original equipment manufacturer) component from Axial, guaranteeing compatibility and quality standards that match your vehicle's original specifications.
- Compatible with AX31186 — Works seamlessly with the AX31186 component, allowing for modular upgrades and giving you flexibility in your build configuration.
- Two-Piece Set — You receive two threaded aluminium links in this package, providing a complete pair for both sides of your steering system or spares for future maintenance.
Technical Performance
This steering link exemplifies the engineering approach that Axial brings to scale RC crawling platforms. The 7.5x107mm dimensions are specifically calibrated for the SCX10 II chassis geometry, ensuring that replacement links maintain the exact same steering characteristics as factory components. The CNC machined aluminium construction balances strength with weight savings—critical factors in maintaining the suspension geometry and centre of gravity of your 1/10 scale rock crawler. The M4 x .5 tapped design accommodates standard metric hardware found throughout the RC hobby, simplifying sourcing of replacement fasteners and ensuring you're never stuck waiting for proprietary parts. The tapered profile reduces the moment arm of steering linkages, translating to improved steering response and more intuitive handling on rocky terrain. The anodized finish provides genuine corrosion protection, essential for crawlers exposed to outdoor conditions, mud, water and prolonged storage. Whether you're preparing for competition events, weekend trail sessions or casual backyard rock crawling, these steering links deliver the precision and durability that serious RC enthusiasts demand.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which RC crawler models is the Z-AX31424 steering link compatible with? — The AXIAL Threaded Aluminium Link 7.5x107mm is specifically designed as a replacement steering component for the Axial SCX10 II Cherokee and works with the AX31186 component. If you own an SCX10 II platform or similar Axial 1/10 scale 4WD crawler, these links are the correct factory specification replacement parts.
- Is this suitable for beginners to RC cars? — This is a spare part rather than a complete vehicle, so it's aimed at hobbyists who already own an Axial SCX10 II or compatible crawler and need to perform maintenance or repairs. If you're new to RC and don't yet own a crawler, you'll want to start with a ready-to-run RTR kit. Once you have your crawler operational, these are the correct genuine parts to maintain it.
- What hardware do I need to install these steering links? — These links are drilled and tapped for M4 x .5 metric fasteners, which are standard hardware sizes available from any RC hobby shop or online retailer. You'll need appropriate M4 screws and possibly washers and lock nuts, depending on your current setup and whether you're reusing existing fasteners from your original links.
- Why should I buy genuine Axial parts rather than cheaper alternatives? — Genuine OEM parts like these are engineered to exact specifications and tolerances by Axial's design team specifically for your SCX10 II platform. Aftermarket or cloned alternatives may have dimensional variations that affect steering geometry and handling. By choosing authentic Axial components, you ensure your crawler performs exactly as engineered and maintains resale value.
- How often do steering links need replacing? — Steering links typically wear out gradually over hundreds of hours of use, especially if you frequently drive on rocky terrain or in competition. Regular inspection during maintenance will reveal wear or bending. Having spare links on hand ensures you can keep your crawler operational without downtime waiting for replacements to arrive.
- Can these be used on other Axial models? — These links are specifically engineered for the SCX10 II platform and compatible with the AX31186 component. Other Axial models may use different steering link dimensions and specifications, so always verify compatibility with your specific vehicle before purchasing spares.
