For RC enthusiasts in the UK seeking quality replacement parts and upgrades, the Axial Panhard Mount represents genuine, authorised hardware backed by a trusted manufacturer with decades of experience in precision RC engineering.
Key Features
- Sintered Metal Construction — This Panhard Mount is manufactured from sintered metal, a process that creates an extremely durable and wear-resistant material ideal for the demanding conditions of rock crawling and off-road RC driving. Sintered metal offers superior longevity compared to plastic or standard metal alternatives, reducing the frequency of replacement and providing consistent performance over extended periods of use.
- Designed for SCX10 III Platform — This component is specifically engineered for compatibility with the entire Axial SCX10 III range, including the Coyote 4x4 RTR, 1987 Toyota SR5 4x4 RTR, Base Camp 4x4 Rock Crawler RTR, Jeep JT Gladiator with Portals RTR, Early Ford Bronco 4WD Scale Crawler RTR, and Jeep CJ-7 4x4 RTR models. This ensures perfect fit and function without any modifications or workarounds required.
- Premium Spare Part Quality — As an official Axial manufactured component bearing the part number Z-AXI231046, this Panhard Mount meets the exact engineering standards and quality control requirements established by Axial for their chassis spares. This guarantees that you're receiving genuine hardware rather than third-party alternatives or counterfeit imitations.
- Suspension Control Enhancement — The Panhard Mount plays a vital role in controlling axle articulation during climbing, descending, and traversing obstacles. A quality Panhard Mount ensures predictable suspension behaviour and improved chassis stability, which is essential for precision rock crawling and technical terrain navigation.
- Direct Replacement Component — This spare part is designed as a direct replacement for the original Panhard Mount on your SCX10 III, eliminating guesswork and compatibility concerns. Simply remove the worn component and install the new sintered metal version for immediate performance restoration.
Technical Performance
The Axial Panhard Mount is manufactured from sintered metal, a material engineered through powder metallurgy techniques to deliver exceptional strength-to-weight ratios and wear resistance. This construction method creates a dense, durable component that withstands the constant lateral forces and articulation demands placed on suspension hardware during rock crawling and off-road use. The sintered metal composition resists deformation and degradation far better than alternative materials, ensuring that your suspension geometry remains consistent through countless climbing sessions, boulder field navigation, and technical terrain traversals. For users of the SCX10 III platform—whether operating the Coyote, Toyota SR5, Base Camp, Jeep Gladiator, Early Ford Bronco, or Jeep CJ-7 variants—this component maintains the precise suspension kinematics that make these 1/10 scale rock crawlers so capable on technical terrain. The engineering precision of this Axial spare part ensures that lateral axle movement is controlled smoothly and reliably, allowing the suspension to articulate vertically without binding or excessive play. This contributes directly to improved traction, predictable handling, and the ability to maintain wheel contact on uneven surfaces—all critical factors in successful rock crawling. Whether you're restoring a slightly worn chassis or upgrading to premium components, this sintered metal Panhard Mount represents the quality and durability standards that distinguish Axial as a leading manufacturer in the ready to run RC and kit-build RC markets.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a Panhard Mount and why do I need one? — A Panhard Mount (also called a Panhard bar or Panhard rod) is a suspension component that controls lateral axle movement whilst allowing the suspension to articulate vertically. It prevents the axle from shifting side-to-side during climbing and traversing, which improves stability, traction, and predictable handling. If your original Panhard Mount is worn, bent, or damaged, replacing it is essential for maintaining proper suspension geometry and performance on the trail.
- Is this compatible with my SCX10 III? — Yes, this Panhard Mount is designed specifically for all variants of the Axial SCX10 III platform, including the Coyote 4x4 RTR, 1987 Toyota SR5 4x4 RTR, Base Camp 4x4 Rock Crawler RTR, Jeep JT Gladiator with Portals RTR, Early Ford Bronco 4WD Scale Crawler RTR, and Jeep CJ-7 4x4 RTR. Check your model number against the compatibility list to confirm compatibility before ordering.
- What makes sintered metal better than plastic or standard metal? — Sintered metal is manufactured through powder metallurgy, creating a material that is significantly harder, more wear-resistant, and more durable than plastic or standard cast metal. This means the Panhard Mount will withstand the demands of rock crawling, maintain its dimensions longer, and require replacement less frequently than inferior alternatives. For serious RC crawlers, the durability benefits of sintered metal easily justify the investment.
- Is this an original Axial part? — Yes, this is an official Axial manufactured component bearing the genuine part number Z-AXI231046. It is manufactured to Axial's exact specifications and quality standards, ensuring compatibility, reliability, and performance. Always purchase from authorised retailers to guarantee you're receiving genuine Axial parts rather than counterfeit alternatives.
- Will I need any tools to install this? — Installation requirements depend on your specific setup and existing hardware. You'll typically need standard RC model tools such as a socket set, hex drivers, or wrenches. Refer to your SCX10 III manual or service guide for detailed installation instructions and torque specifications. If you're unfamiliar with suspension work, consider seeking guidance from experienced RC enthusiasts or your local RC hobby shop.
- How often should I replace my Panhard Mount? — The frequency of replacement depends on usage intensity, driving conditions, and maintenance practices. Regular rock crawling on technical terrain will cause more wear than casual bashing. Inspect your Panhard Mount regularly for signs of bending, cracking, or excessive play. Replace it immediately if you notice any damage, as a worn Panhard Mount compromises suspension performance and can lead to handling issues or damage to other components.
