Overview
The AXIAL Rear Shock Set with 0.4mm Spring is a genuine OEM replacement suspension component designed specifically for the SCX24 Jeep JT Gladiator 4WD Rock Crawler. Whether you're an experienced RC enthusiast operating your crawler through challenging terrain or a beginner exploring the world of scale rock crawling, having access to quality replacement suspension parts is essential for maintaining optimal performance. This rear shock set represents the engineering standard that Axial applies to all their SCX24 components, ensuring your model maintains the precise handling characteristics and durability it was designed to deliver.
The SCX24 platform has become one of the most popular 1/24 scale RC rock crawlers available to UK buyers, offering incredible off-road capability in a compact, highly detailed package. The suspension system on any rock crawler is critical to performance, as it must absorb impacts from rocky terrain, maintain consistent ground contact over uneven surfaces, and provide the articulation necessary for impressive climbing angles. Replacement shock sets like this one allow you to restore your vehicle to factory specification, replace worn or damaged components, or experiment with different spring rates to tune your crawler's handling characteristics.
This genuine Axial replacement part comes with a 0.4mm spring rate, which is the standard specification for the SCX24 Jeep JT Gladiator. The complete rear shock set ensures you're getting all the components necessary to refresh your vehicle's rear suspension in one convenient package, making this an ideal choice for maintenance, repair, or performance tuning of your RC car.
Key Features
- Genuine Axial OEM Part — This is an authentic manufacturer component, not an aftermarket alternative, which means it meets Axial's exact engineering specifications and quality standards for perfect fitment and reliable performance on your SCX24 Jeep JT Gladiator.
- 0.4mm Spring Rate — The precisely calibrated 0.4mm spring provides the correct balance of compliance and support for the SCX24 platform, allowing the suspension to absorb terrain impacts effectively whilst maintaining consistent tyre contact on rocky and uneven ground.
- Complete Rear Shock Set — Rather than purchasing individual components separately, this kit provides everything you need for the rear suspension in one package, saving time and ensuring compatibility between all parts.
- Direct Fitment for SCX24 Jeep JT Gladiator — This part is engineered for the Jeep JT Gladiator variant of the SCX24 range, guaranteeing precise fitment without modification or adaptation required.
- Replacement and Upgrade Option — Whether replacing worn shocks from extended use or upgrading a used vehicle you've just acquired, this genuine set restores your crawler to optimal suspension performance.
- Compatible with Multiple SCX24 Models — Beyond the Jeep JT Gladiator, this shock set is also compatible with other SCX24 variants including the Dodge Power Wagon 4WD Rock Crawler in both orange and green finishes, providing flexibility if you run multiple models in the SCX24 range.
Technical Performance
The rear shock assembly is a critical component in the suspension architecture of any rock crawler, and the SCX24 platform benefits from Axial's considerable experience in scale 4WD off-road vehicle design. The 0.4mm spring rate has been selected through extensive testing to provide the ideal suspension response for the weight distribution and overall design of the SCX24 Jeep JT Gladiator. This spring rate is soft enough to allow the suspension to compress and extend freely over rocks and obstacles, absorbing energy that would otherwise be transmitted directly to the chassis and causing loss of traction, yet firm enough to maintain ride height and prevent excessive sag under the vehicle's weight. The engineering of suspension components for 1/24 scale vehicles requires precision manufacturing, as even small variations can significantly impact handling. Axial's manufacturing processes ensure consistent quality across all their replacement parts, which is why using genuine OEM shock sets rather than generic alternatives is recommended for maintaining your crawler's performance characteristics. The shock set is designed to work in conjunction with the rest of the SCX24 suspension geometry, including the front shocks, anti-roll bars if fitted, and the chassis design, to create a cohesive system that delivers the articulation and ground contact necessary for authentic scale rock crawling.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a rear shock set and why might I need a replacement? — The rear shock set is the suspension component that absorbs impacts and maintains tyre contact with the ground on your RC rock crawler. Shocks may need replacement if they become worn through extended use, if the springs lose their tension and the suspension sags, if the shock body is damaged from impacts or corrosion, or if you simply want to restore a vehicle to factory specification after long-term use.
- Is this shock set compatible with my SCX24 model? — This rear shock set is specifically designed for the SCX24 Jeep JT Gladiator 4WD Rock Crawler. It is also compatible with the SCX24 Dodge Power Wagon 4WD Rock Crawler in both orange and green variants. If you own a different SCX24 model, you should verify compatibility before purchasing or consult the manufacturer's specifications for your specific variant.
- What does the 0.4mm spring rate mean? — The spring rate refers to how much force is required to compress the spring by a given distance. A 0.4mm spring is relatively soft, meaning it compresses easily to absorb impacts from terrain. This is the standard specification for the SCX24 Jeep JT Gladiator, providing the optimal balance between compliance and support for this vehicle's weight and intended use.
- Can I use a different spring rate in these shocks? — Whilst some RC enthusiasts experiment with different spring rates to fine-tune suspension characteristics, the 0.4mm specification is recommended by Axial for the SCX24 Jeep JT Gladiator. Using a significantly different spring rate could alter your vehicle's handling characteristics, reduce traction, or cause suspension binding. It is best to use the factory-specified spring rate unless you have specific knowledge of how different rates will affect your vehicle's performance.
- How do I know if my shocks need replacing? — Signs that your rear shocks may need replacement include visible oil leakage from the shock bodies, a saggy suspension that doesn't return to ride height after compression, inconsistent handling or tyre contact issues during crawling, visible damage to the shock body or mounts, or simply the age of your vehicle if it has been in regular use.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Replacing suspension components does require basic mechanical knowledge and appropriate tools, including likely an allen key set to remove and install the shocks. If you are new to RC maintenance, you may want to ask for assistance from an experienced RC friend or contact the retailer for guidance on installation before attempting the replacement yourself.
- What tools will I need to install these shocks? — Whilst the source material does not specify exact tools required, typical suspension installation on RC vehicles involves allen keys for mounting bolts and potentially a screwdriver for securing components. You may also want tweezers or fine-point pliers for handling small clips or fasteners.
