Overview
The Axial C-Clip, 5mm (10) Z-AXI236136 is an essential spare part for RC enthusiasts and hobbyists who operate Axial scale crawler models. These precision-engineered C-clips are fundamental retention components used throughout modern RC car assemblies, ensuring that critical parts remain securely fastened during intense off-road driving sessions. Whether you're a dedicated RC crawler fan in the UK, a weekend basher tackling challenging terrain, or someone building their first rock crawler from a kit, having a supply of quality replacement C-clips is vital for maintaining your vehicle and keeping it running smoothly on the trail.
C-clips are small but absolutely crucial fastening devices that work by applying tension to hold components in place on axles, shafts, and other cylindrical applications. The 5mm size is specifically designed for use across Axial's popular SCX10 III range and related models, making this pack of ten an invaluable addition to any RC spare parts collection. These clips experience constant stress during driving, and having genuine Axial replacements on hand means you can quickly get back to enjoying your RC car UK hobby without extended downtime waiting for parts to arrive.
RC enthusiasts know that quality spare parts are the backbone of reliable, long-lasting models. The Axial C-Clip pack provides genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) components that meet Axial's exacting engineering standards, ensuring perfect fitment and reliable performance across multiple vehicles in your collection.
Key Features

- 5mm size specification — The 5mm diameter is precisely engineered to fit the corresponding shafts and axles found on Axial SCX10 III models, guaranteeing correct fitment without modification or forcing.
- Genuine Axial manufacturing — These are authentic OEM parts produced by Axial, the industry-leading manufacturer, ensuring they meet exact quality standards and perform identically to the original clips on your vehicle.
- Designed for rock crawler applications — Built to withstand the demanding stresses of scale crawling, including high-torque situations, impact loads, and continuous off-road use on challenging terrain.
- Compatible with multiple SCX10 III variants — These clips work across the entire Axial SCX10 III family, making them a versatile addition to your spares box whether you own one model or several.
Technical Performance
Axial C-clips are precision-stamped metal fasteners manufactured to exacting tolerances, ensuring consistent performance and reliability across all applications. The 5mm size is engineered to provide secure retention on shafts and axles whilst remaining easy to install and remove with basic tools. These clips experience significant stress during rock crawling and off-road driving, where vehicles encounter obstacles, steep inclines, and high-torque situations that place extreme demands on every component. The genuine Axial specification ensures these clips maintain consistent tension and grip throughout the clip's service life, preventing unwanted shaft movement, component separation, or mechanical failure during crucial moments on the trail. The engineering behind these seemingly simple parts is critical—inadequate clip performance can lead to component loss, vehicle immobilisation, and potential damage to connected parts. By using genuine Axial C-clips rated for your specific vehicle, you're ensuring that your RC car UK investment remains reliable and ready for action whenever you are.
What's in the Box
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a C-clip and why do I need one? — A C-clip (also called a retaining clip or circlip) is a metal fastener that holds components in place on shafts and axles. In RC cars, C-clips prevent wheels, gears, bearings, and other critical components from sliding off shafts during driving. They're essential for any RC crawler UK enthusiast to keep on hand as spares, since clips can wear out, break, or become lost during maintenance or crashes.
- Are these clips compatible with my Axial SCX10 III? — Yes, this 5mm size is specifically designed for use with multiple Axial SCX10 III models including the Base Camp, Coyote, 1987 Toyota SR5, Early Ford Bronco, and Jeep CJ-7 variants. The pack is also compatible with the SCX10 III Builders Kit and several other Axial models utilising 5mm shafts. Check your vehicle's manual or parts list to confirm your specific model uses 5mm C-clips before ordering.
- How many clips should I have in my spares collection? — Having at least ten replacement clips on hand is recommended, which is exactly what this pack provides. A typical RC car uses multiple C-clips in various locations (axles, motor shafts, suspension components), and having backup spares means you can complete repairs without delay. Many experienced hobbyists keep multiple packs available, especially if they own several RC vehicles.
- How do I install a C-clip correctly? — C-clips require no special tools to install—they simply slide onto the shaft and create tension-based retention through their curved design. When removing clips, use a small screwdriver or clip removal tool to carefully pry one end away from the shaft, then slide the clip off. Always ensure the clip is fully seated in the shaft groove before operating your vehicle. Consult your Axial manual for specific installation guidance on your model.
- Can I use non-Axial C-clips as replacements? — Whilst non-OEM clips might appear to fit, genuine Axial C-clips are engineered to exact specifications and tolerances that generic replacements may not match. Using non-genuine clips risks inadequate retention, component loss, or vehicle damage. Genuine Axial spares ensure reliability and compatibility, making them the smart choice for scale crawlers and ready to run RC vehicles.
