Overview
The Axial Shock Body in clear anodised aluminium is an essential suspension component for serious RC rock crawlers and off-road enthusiasts across the UK. This genuine Axial spare part represents the perfect replacement or upgrade option for maintaining peak performance on your 1/10 scale SCX10 III platform. Whether you're a competitive racer, a weekend basher tackling challenging terrain, or an experienced builder fine-tuning your ready to run RC car, having quality suspension components is critical to achieving the control and responsiveness your vehicle demands on rocky trails and unforgiving landscapes.
Precision-engineered from aircraft-grade aluminium and finished in clear anodised coating, this shock body delivers exceptional durability whilst maintaining the lightweight properties essential for modern RC crawlers. The 11x41.5mm dimensions are specifically designed to work seamlessly with the Axial SCX10 III platform, ensuring perfect fitment and optimal suspension geometry. Anodised aluminium construction provides superior corrosion resistance, making these shocks ideal for UK weather conditions and wet terrain exploration. When your current shocks need replacement or when you're looking to upgrade your suspension setup, Axial genuine parts guarantee compatibility and performance.
This pack contains two shock bodies, giving you a complete set for both sides of your vehicle or spares for future maintenance. The clear anodised finish not only looks professional but also protects the aluminium from oxidation and wear. For RC enthusiasts searching for quality suspension spares in the UK, this is an authentic manufacturer component that delivers reliability and longevity.
Key Features
- Genuine Axial Manufacturing — Produced by Axial, the original equipment manufacturer, ensuring these shock bodies meet exact OEM specifications and deliver the performance your SCX10 III platform was engineered to achieve.
- Clear Anodised Aluminium Construction — The lightweight yet rigid aluminium material reduces unsprung weight whilst the clear anodised finish provides excellent corrosion resistance, protecting against moisture and extending component lifespan even in challenging UK weather.
- Precision 11x41.5mm Dimensions — These exact dimensions are optimised for the Axial SCX10 III suspension system, ensuring perfect fitment and maintaining the suspension geometry your crawler needs for technical rock crawling.
- Pair of Two Shock Bodies — Each pack contains two complete shock bodies, allowing you to replace both sides of your vehicle or maintain spare components for competitive events and regular maintenance.
- SCX10 III Platform Compatibility — Engineered specifically for the extensive Axial SCX10 III range, these shocks are compatible with multiple variants including the Jeep JT Gladiator with Portals, Base Camp 4WD, Coyote 4X4, Toyota SR5, Early Ford Bronco, and Jeep CJ-7 models, making this a universal upgrade component.
Technical Performance
The Axial Shock Body represents precision suspension engineering designed for demanding off-road RC applications. Constructed from aircraft-grade aluminium, the material selection prioritises both strength and weight efficiency, critical factors in maintaining responsive handling on technical terrain. The clear anodised finish goes beyond aesthetics, providing a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion from moisture, mud, and salt—particularly important for UK RC enthusiasts operating in wet conditions or near coastal areas. The 11x41.5mm dimensions are the result of extensive development work ensuring perfect integration with the Axial SCX10 III suspension architecture. This scale crawler platform demands precision-engineered components that maintain consistent suspension geometry under extreme trail conditions, and these genuine Axial parts deliver exactly that performance standard. The lightweight construction contributes to improved suspension responsiveness whilst the rigid aluminium body resists bending forces encountered during rock crawling and obstacle traversal. As a fundamental suspension component, the shock body directly influences your crawler's ability to maintain tyre contact with uneven surfaces, manage weight transfer during climbing, and absorb impacts from technical features. Whether you're building a competition-ready crawler or maintaining an existing platform, upgrading to genuine Axial components ensures your vehicle performs exactly as the engineers intended.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Axial Shock Body used for? — The shock body is the main structural component of your suspension system that houses the internal shock mechanism. It directly connects to the shock tower and suspension links, working to absorb impacts from terrain obstacles and maintain consistent suspension travel. On a rock crawler, this component is absolutely critical for controlling weight transfer and maintaining tyre contact during technical climbs and descents.
- Will these shock bodies fit my Axial SCX10 III? — Yes, these shock bodies are engineered specifically for the Axial 1/10 SCX10 III platform and are compatible with all major variants including the Base Camp, Coyote, Toyota SR5, Early Ford Bronco, and Jeep CJ-7 models. Always verify your specific model against the compatibility list before purchase.
- What makes clear anodised aluminium better than standard steel? — Aluminium offers significant weight savings compared to steel whilst maintaining excellent rigidity, which improves suspension response and handling. The clear anodised coating provides superior corrosion resistance, particularly valuable in the UK where moisture and wet conditions are common. This finish protects the metal from oxidation and extends the component's working lifespan considerably.
- Do I need to replace shock bodies regularly? — Shock bodies rarely wear out in normal use, but they can become damaged through impacts or bent from crashes. If you notice your suspension feel changing, see visible bending, or experience uneven ride height between sides, replacement shock bodies may be needed. Having spare genuine parts on hand is smart practice for competitive crawlers.
- Are these suitable for both crawling and bashing? — These shock bodies are engineered for the SCX10 III platform, which is primarily designed for scale rock crawling rather than high-speed bashing. However, they will perform admirably in any terrain your SCX10 III is operated on, whether technical trails, rocky gardens, or moderately challenging off-road environments.
