Key Features
- Official Axial Replacement Part — These differential covers are manufactured by Axial and carry the model number AXI232044, ensuring they meet the exact specifications required for perfect fitment and function with your SCX10 III crawler without any guesswork or compatibility issues.
- Black Finish — The sleek black colour provides a professional, factory-original appearance that complements any SCX10 III build, from scale realistic crawlers to modified rigs, and helps protect against UV fading and corrosion.
- Comprehensive Model Compatibility — These covers fit a wide range of SCX10 III variants including the Base Camp, Early Ford Bronco RTR (both standard and B versions), Jeep CJ-7 brushed RTR (both V1 and V2 versions), Jeep Gladiator Elite Edition, Jeep JT Gladiator with Portals, and multiple Jeep JLU Wrangler configurations with or without portals, making them a versatile upgrade option.
- Differential Protection — Designed to shield the AR45P and AR45 differential assemblies from mud, rocks, water ingress and debris during aggressive off-road rock crawling and trail running, extending component life and reducing maintenance requirements.
- OEM-Grade Engineering — Manufactured to Axial's exacting standards, these covers ensure a precision fit that doesn't interfere with differential function, bearing preload or oil seals, maintaining the performance characteristics your crawler was designed to deliver.
Technical Performance
The AR45P AR45 differential covers represent the pinnacle of Axial's engineering approach to drivetrain protection for the SCX10 III platform. These covers are manufactured using high-quality materials and precision machining techniques that ensure they fit perfectly with the standard AR45P and AR45 differential housings without any modification or forcing required. The black finish provides not only aesthetic appeal but also practical corrosion resistance, crucial for UK enthusiasts who regularly run their RC crawlers in wet conditions and muddy terrain. The covers protect the differential assembly—the heart of your SCX10 III's drivetrain—from impact damage, mud accumulation, water ingress and abrasive debris that can compromise bearing life and gear mesh precision. When rock crawling over sharp rocks, roots and obstacles, the differential assembly is particularly vulnerable to damage; these covers act as a shield that absorbs minor impacts and prevents external contaminants from reaching critical internal components. For serious rock crawlers running the SCX10 III platform, whether brushed or brushless builds with portal axle conversions or standard configurations, maintaining differential integrity is essential for consistent crawling performance and reliability through technical terrain.
