Key Features
- Scale-Realistic Appearance — The silver colour is specifically engineered to replicate the look of genuine cast aluminium, giving your RC car that authentic, detailed finish that serious builders demand. This level of scale accuracy transforms the overall appearance of your chassis and demonstrates commitment to realistic detail work.
- Improved Mounting Points — This upgraded case features better mounting points at the base of the transmission, which is a crucial improvement over standard cases that suffer from stripped screws during installation and maintenance. The reinforced mounting geometry prevents the common problem of fasteners becoming loose or damaging the case material, ensuring your transmission stays securely mounted during demanding trail running or bashing sessions.
- Functional Compatibility — The case retains the basic function of the original transmission, meaning you can upgrade to this component without needing to replace internal gears or modify your existing drivetrain setup. This makes it an economical upgrade that enhances appearance and reliability without requiring a complete transmission rebuild.

Axial's reputation for crawler excellence translates to meticulous attention to detail in every component they produce, ensuring this transmission case meets the exacting standards expected by serious RC enthusiasts.
