Technical Performance
The Axial Body, Clear: XC-1 AX24 is engineered from premium polycarbonate material that balances durability with lightweight performance. Polycarbonate is the industry-standard choice for RC bodyshells because it offers exceptional impact resistance without adding unnecessary weight to your crawler. At 1/24 scale, this body shell maintains authentic proportions whilst being appropriately sized for the diminutive XC-1 chassis platform. The un-painted clear finish means you start with a neutral canvas that weighs minimal grams, allowing your rock crawler to maintain optimal power-to-weight ratio during competitive crawling events or recreational driving sessions. The inclusion of window masks demonstrates Axial's attention to finishing detail, ensuring that whether you're painting with spray cans, airbrush, or brush techniques, your final result will feature clean, professional-looking paint lines without paint seeping into the windows.

- What paint types work best on this polycarbonate body? — Polycarbonate bodies accept most standard RC body paints, including spray-on polycarbonate-specific paints, airbrush paints, and brush-on acrylics. Always use paints formulated for plastic or polycarbonate substrates to avoid chemical degradation of the material.
- Do I need special tools to install this body? — Installation is straightforward and requires only basic RC tools. You'll need to carefully remove the body from your existing XC24, clean the chassis mounting points, and secure the new clear body using the appropriate body clips and fasteners compatible with your XC-1 chassis.
- Can I use this body shell without painting it? — Absolutely. Many RC enthusiasts appreciate the minimalist aesthetic of a clear polycarbonate body, which showcases the intricate details of the XC-1's interior components and mechanical systems. If you prefer not to paint, you can apply the included decals directly to the clear shell for an authentic look.
- How durable is the polycarbonate material? — Polycarbonate is one of the most durable materials available for RC bodyshells.
