Overview
The AXIAL Slipper Eliminator Hub and Plate is a premium drivetrain spare part designed specifically for the SCX10 III range of 1/10 scale RC rock crawlers. This component is engineered to enhance the performance and reliability of your RC car UK setup by eliminating slipper clutch action in the drivetrain, providing more direct power delivery to the wheels. Whether you're running an Axial SCX10 III Ready to Run model or building from a Builders Kit, this slipper eliminator is an essential upgrade for serious hobbyists looking to maximise traction and reduce wheel spin on challenging terrain.
Designed and manufactured by Axial, a recognised leader in rock crawler engineering, this hub and plate assembly represents genuine OEM quality that experienced RC enthusiasts trust. The slipper eliminator mechanism allows you to lock out the slipper clutch function entirely, which is particularly beneficial when navigating rocky trails, climbing steep inclines, and tackling extreme off-road conditions where maximum grip is essential. This spare part is ideal for drivers who want to fine-tune their rock crawler's performance characteristics and eliminate the loss of power that occurs when a slipper clutch engages during high-traction scenarios.
Compatible with a comprehensive range of SCX10 III variants, including the 1987 Toyota SR5, Coyote, Base Camp, Jeep CJ-7, Jeep JT Gladiator with Portals, and the Early Ford Bronco models, this slipper eliminator hub and plate offers broad compatibility across Axial's latest generation of scale crawlers. RC car enthusiasts in the UK will appreciate the precision engineering and the noticeable improvement in drivetrain response when this component is installed correctly. Whether you're upgrading a Ready to Run RTR model or enhancing a crawler you've built yourself, this OEM Axial part delivers the performance upgrade your SCX10 III deserves.
Key Features
- Slipper Clutch Elimination Technology — This hub and plate assembly completely eliminates slipper clutch engagement, delivering 100% direct power transfer to the wheels without any power loss, which is crucial for maintaining maximum traction on technical terrain and during challenging climbing scenarios.
- OEM Axial Quality Construction — Manufactured to original equipment manufacturer specifications by Axial, ensuring perfect fitment, durability and authentic performance enhancement that matches the engineering standards of your SCX10 III rock crawler.
- Broad SCX10 III Compatibility — Works seamlessly with numerous SCX10 III variants including RTR Brushed Rock Crawler models, Builders Kit configurations, and special editions such as the Jeep JT Gladiator with Portals and Early Ford Bronco, making this a versatile upgrade for the entire SCX10 III lineup.
- Enhanced Drivetrain Response — By locking out slipper function, the drivetrain responds more directly to throttle input, providing sharper acceleration feel and improved control when navigating rocky obstacles and uneven terrain.
- Easy Installation — Designed as a direct replacement for your existing slipper hub and plate, this component installs straightforwardly into your SCX10 III's drivetrain without requiring extensive modifications or additional tools.
- Performance Tuning Solution — Provides a simple mechanical way to adjust your crawler's performance characteristics without requiring electronic ESC programming or complex adjustments, making it ideal for drivers seeking straightforward performance enhancements.
Technical Performance
The AXIAL Slipper Eliminator Hub and Plate represents precision engineering specifically developed for the SCX10 III platform. As a drivetrain component, this hub and plate assembly is manufactured to OEM specifications using durable materials designed to withstand the rigorous demands of off-road rock crawling. The slipper eliminator function works by mechanically preventing the slipper clutch from disengaging under load, which means power delivery remains constant even when wheel traction reaches maximum levels. This is particularly important in scale crawling where smooth, predictable power delivery helps prevent wheel hop and maintains the delicate balance needed for technical climbing. The component integrates seamlessly into the SCX10 III's existing drivetrain architecture, maintaining compatibility with standard gear ratios and transmission designs. For drivers running Ready to Run RTR Brushed Rock Crawler models, this upgrade provides a measurable improvement in traction feel without requiring any battery, ESC, or radio system modifications. The hub and plate design has been validated across all SCX10 III variants, from the base camp configurations through to the specialised portal axle Jeep models, ensuring consistent performance regardless of your specific rock crawler model. Installation is straightforward for users with basic RC car maintenance experience, though complete drivetrain knowledge is recommended to ensure proper assembly and optimal engagement of all drivetrain components.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does a slipper eliminator do on an RC crawler? — A slipper eliminator removes the slipper clutch function from your drivetrain, which means power flows directly to the wheels without any interruption. On an RC rock crawler, this provides significantly improved traction and more responsive power delivery, especially valuable when climbing steep inclines or navigating extremely rocky terrain where maintaining grip is critical.
- Is this slipper eliminator compatible with my SCX10 III? — This AXIAL Slipper Eliminator Hub and Plate is compatible with all SCX10 III variants, including the 1987 Toyota SR5 RTR, Coyote RTR, Base Camp RTR, Jeep CJ-7 RTR, Jeep JT Gladiator with Portals RTR, Early Ford Bronco RTR, and all SCX10 III Builders Kit configurations. If you own any version of the SCX10 III, this component will fit and function properly.
- Will installing a slipper eliminator damage my SCX10 III gearbox? — No, the slipper eliminator is an engineered OEM Axial component designed specifically for SCX10 III use. However, it does eliminate the slipper clutch's protective function, which means the drivetrain will experience increased stress during extreme climbing and heavy traction scenarios. Users should ensure their gearbox is in good condition before installation and may want to use this upgrade on rock crawling runs rather than casual bashing.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — While installation is relatively straightforward, understanding slipper clutch function and deciding whether slipper elimination suits your driving style requires some RC experience. Beginners may benefit from consulting experienced RC car UK enthusiasts or referring to detailed installation guides before making this upgrade.
- What will change about my crawler's handling after installing this? — You'll notice more direct power delivery, improved traction feel, and more responsive throttle input. The crawler should climb more predictably and maintain better grip on rocky terrain. However, wheel slip is reduced or eliminated, so your driving technique may need slight adjustment to prevent wheel hop on extremely rocky sections.
- Do I need any other parts to complete the installation? — The slipper eliminator hub and plate is a complete assembly and doesn't require additional components. You'll need standard RC car tools and drivetrain service knowledge, but no other Axial parts or modifications are necessary.
