Overview
Upgrade your Axial AX24 crawler with these premium carbon fibre chassis side plates, designed to enhance both the aesthetic appeal and performance of your 1/24 scale RC car. These genuine Axial replacement parts deliver a significant performance boost whilst adding high-tech style to your vehicle. Whether you're tackling rocky terrain, steep hillsides, or technical crawling courses, these rigid carbon fibre plates are engineered to give your AX24 the competitive edge it needs.
Carbon fibre is the material of choice for serious RC enthusiasts and competition crawlers across the UK and beyond. These chassis side plates demonstrate why — they combine exceptional strength with minimal weight, creating the perfect balance for improved handling and reduced centre of gravity. If you own an Axial AX24 XC-1 4WS crawler and want to extract maximum performance from your investment, these plates are an essential upgrade that will transform your driving experience.
RC Model Shop stocks genuine Axial components for the AX24 platform, and we understand that serious crawlers demand quality parts that make a real difference. These carbon fibre side plates are not merely cosmetic — they are functional performance upgrades that address the specific handling characteristics of the AX24 crawler, making them a smart choice for anyone serious about their RC car setup.
Key Features
- Carbon Fibre Construction — These chassis side plates are manufactured from premium carbon fibre material, which provides exceptional rigidity and strength whilst maintaining a lightweight profile that directly improves your AX24's performance characteristics.
- Reduced Weight — By replacing the standard chassis plates with these carbon fibre alternatives, you achieve a measurable weight reduction that translates to better acceleration, improved responsiveness, and easier manoeuvrability across rough terrain.
- Lowered Centre of Gravity — The engineering of these plates is designed specifically to lower your AX24's centre of gravity, which enhances stability when climbing steep obstacles and significantly improves side hill performance, a critical factor in competitive crawling.
- Improved Climbing Performance — The combination of reduced weight and optimised centre of gravity makes your AX24 noticeably better at tackling vertical surfaces and challenging rock crawling courses that demand maximum traction and control.
- Enhanced Side Hill Stability — These plates help maintain better stability when traversing steep inclines at angles, preventing tipping and roll-overs on technical terrain that tests the limits of your crawler.
- AX24-Specific Design — These plates are engineered exclusively for the Axial AX24 platform and will not fit the SCX24 or other Axial models, ensuring perfect fitment and optimal performance gains.
- Genuine Axial Component — As official Axial replacement parts, these plates are manufactured to the exact specifications required for the AX24, guaranteeing compatibility and reliability that aftermarket alternatives cannot match.
- High-Tech Styling — Beyond performance, the visible carbon fibre construction adds a professional, competition-grade aesthetic to your crawler that immediately sets it apart from stock builds.
Technical Performance
These carbon fibre chassis side plates represent a serious performance upgrade for any AX24 owner looking to optimise their crawler's behaviour. The material selection is critical — carbon fibre offers a superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to the standard chassis plates, meaning you get a more rigid structure without the penalty of additional mass. This is especially important in the 1/24 scale category, where even small reductions in overall vehicle weight can produce noticeable improvements in climbing angle, acceleration response, and steering precision. The engineering focuses on lowering the centre of gravity, which is fundamental to crawler performance. A lower centre of gravity means your AX24 sits more stable over obstacles, resists rolling during side hill traversal, and maintains better traction distribution across all four wheels during challenging manoeuvres. The plates are precision-engineered to maintain perfect chassis geometry and alignment whilst delivering these performance benefits. These are not cosmetic additions — they are functional modifications that serious RC crawler enthusiasts specify when building competition-level AX24 setups. The rigid carbon fibre construction also provides excellent durability and impact resistance, protecting your chassis from damage during intense off-road sessions on rocky terrain typical of UK crawling spots.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these carbon fibre chassis plates fit my Axial AX24 crawler? — Yes, these plates are specifically engineered for the Axial AX24 platform and will provide perfect fitment. However, they are not compatible with the SCX24 or any other Axial model, so verify you own an AX24 before purchasing.
- How much weight reduction will I achieve with these plates? — Whilst the source does not specify exact weight savings in grams, carbon fibre provides a significantly lower density than standard materials, and the weight reduction is meaningful enough to produce noticeably improved performance in climbing and handling characteristics.
- What performance improvements can I expect? — You'll experience improved climbing performance, enhanced side hill stability, and better overall responsiveness due to the lowered centre of gravity and reduced overall weight, making your AX24 more capable on technical terrain.
- Are these genuine Axial parts or aftermarket copies? — These are genuine Axial OEM replacement parts manufactured to official specifications, ensuring perfect compatibility and quality that aftermarket alternatives may not deliver.
- Do I need any tools to install these plates? — The source does not specify installation requirements, so we recommend consulting your AX24 manual or contacting our team at RC Model Shop for detailed installation guidance before purchasing.
- What is the difference between carbon fibre and standard chassis plates? — Carbon fibre offers superior strength-to-weight performance compared to standard materials, providing a more rigid chassis whilst reducing overall vehicle weight and lowering the centre of gravity for optimised crawling performance.
- Are these plates suitable for beginners? — These are replacement upgrade components rather than essential parts for new owners. Beginners should first become familiar with their standard AX24 setup before considering performance upgrades like these premium carbon fibre plates.
