Key Features
- Purpose-Built for SCX10 III — This axle set is engineered specifically for the Axial SCX10 III platform, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility without modifications or adapter plates. Precision engineering guarantees seamless integration with your existing SCX10 III chassis and suspension components.

Technical Performance
The AXIAL AR45 Straight Axle Set delivers professional-level performance characteristics suitable for 1/10 scale rock crawling applications. Constructed from durable materials engineered to withstand the extreme loads encountered during competitive and recreational crawling, these axles provide reliable power delivery and exceptional articulation. The straight axle design is particularly valued in the RC rock crawler community for its superior flex and wheel travel characteristics compared to universal joint configurations. When properly installed on your SCX10 III platform, these axles work in concert with your vehicle's suspension system to maximise ground contact, improve traction, and enhance overall climbing ability on technical terrain. The engineering represents Axial's commitment to building components that survive repeated impacts, high torque loads, and the demanding stresses of boulder crawling and extreme off-road driving. Whether you're running brushless motors delivering high torque output or maintaining a more conservative setup, these axles are engineered to handle the demands of serious RC rock crawling.
