Overview
The Axial Upper Center Link Mounts are precision-engineered replacement parts designed specifically for the SCX10 III platform, one of the most popular rock crawling and scale RC vehicles available in the UK market. These mounts are essential components that connect the steering linkage to the chassis, playing a critical role in maintaining precise steering geometry and ensuring consistent handling performance across varied terrain. Whether you're a dedicated rock crawler enthusiast, a scale modeller, or someone who enjoys weekend bashing on technical off-road courses, having quality replacement mounts ensures your SCX10 III performs at its best.
The SCX10 III has established itself as a cornerstone of the RC rock crawling community, and maintaining these vehicles with genuine Axial parts guarantees compatibility and reliability. The Upper Center Link Mounts are one of those consumable parts that may need replacement after extensive use, particularly if you regularly tackle challenging terrain or participate in competitive crawler events. By keeping a spare set on hand, you ensure minimal downtime and can quickly get back to enjoying your RC crawler experience.
This is an authentic Axial replacement part, manufactured to the same exacting standards as the original components fitted to new SCX10 III models. Compatible with an extensive range of SCX10 III variants sold throughout the UK and Europe, these mounts represent a cost-effective way to maintain your investment and keep your rock crawler in peak condition.
Key Features
- Genuine Axial Component — These are authentic manufacturer parts engineered by Axial to exact specifications, ensuring perfect fitment and reliable performance on your SCX10 III without any compatibility concerns or quality compromises.
- Precision-Engineered Design — The mounts are manufactured to maintain accurate steering geometry and response, which is critical for rock crawling where precise control over wheel articulation can mean the difference between successfully navigating an obstacle and getting stuck.
- Broad Vehicle Compatibility — These Upper Center Link Mounts work with numerous SCX10 III models including the Pro-Line 1982 Chevy K10, Base Camp variants in white and grey, Coyote editions in silver and blue, 1987 Toyota SR5 models, the 4WD Rock Crawler Builders Kit, Jeep JT Gladiator with Portals, and both the Jeep CJ-7 and Early Ford Bronco variants, making this a versatile spare part for any SCX10 III owner in the UK.

Technical Performance
The Axial Upper Center Link Mounts represent the engineering philosophy that defines the SCX10 III platform: attention to detail, durability and precision. These mounts are responsible for maintaining the critical connection between your steering linkage and the vehicle chassis, directly influencing how your crawler responds to steering inputs and how well it maintains traction during technical climbing. The design ensures that steering geometry remains consistent even under the extreme articulation and stress that rock crawling places on a vehicle. The mounts are engineered from materials selected for their strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to the environmental stresses of outdoor RC use, whether that means dust, mud, water exposure or temperature variations common in UK weather conditions. Their construction allows them to withstand repeated impacts and the constant micro-movements that occur during complex rock crawling manoeuvres without degradation of performance or fit.
