These sliders bolt securely to your SCX6 frame and absorb impacts that would otherwise transfer directly to your vehicle's core structure, allowing you to push your limits without worrying about costly damage.
Available from RC Model Shop, this genuine Axial spare part comes at an excellent price point and represents a smart investment in extending the lifespan and durability of your 1/6 scale rock crawler. Whether you're a weekend basher exploring local trails or a dedicated rock crawling competitor, the Axial SCX6 Rock Sliders Trail Honcho Z-AXI250014 deliver reliable, long-lasting protection that keeps your model performing at its best.

Technical Performance
The Axial SCX6 Rock Sliders Trail Honcho represent the pinnacle of protective engineering for the popular 1/6 scale Axial SCX6 platform. These are genuine Axial-manufactured components, which means they've been developed in conjunction with the same engineers who designed your rock crawler. The sliders integrate seamlessly with the SCX6's chassis architecture, providing complete side protection along the lower frame rails and belly pan areas where damage most commonly occurs during technical rock crawling and trail running. The construction methodology ensures that impact forces during rock strikes, climbing manoeuvres and challenging terrain navigation are distributed across the slider surface rather than being transmitted directly to your vehicle's main chassis structure. This protective design philosophy dramatically extends the operational lifespan of your 1/6 scale SCX6 investment, reducing the need for costly chassis repairs and replacements after aggressive off-road use. The manufacturing quality reflects Axial's reputation for precision engineering and durability, with materials selected to provide long-term resistance to impact, weathering and the rigours of regular UK trail running and rock crawling competition use.
