Overview
Upgrade your Axial 1/24 scale RC crawler with the AXIAL Differential Cover in brass. Designed for both the SCX24 and AX24 platforms, this machined differential cover delivers a perfect combination of durability, weight distribution and authentic scale styling. Whether you're navigating rocky trails, crawling through challenging terrain, or simply looking to enhance your RC car UK collection with quality aftermarket parts, this brass diff cover is an essential upgrade for serious hobbyists who demand the best performance from their ready to run RC vehicles.
One of the primary advantages of owning a hobby grade RC car is the ability to repair and improve your rig whenever you need to. Unlike mass-produced radio control toys, Axial vehicles are built with this philosophy in mind—when something breaks or wears out, genuine replacement parts and optional upgrades are readily available. This differential cover exemplifies that approach, offering both functional improvement and enhanced durability for your crawling adventures. The machined brass construction ensures longevity whilst the thoughtful engineering delivers measurable benefits to your vehicle's handling and weight distribution.
Brass is a premium material choice for differential covers because it provides superior weight characteristics compared to plastic alternatives. By adding brass coverage to your differentials, you're actively lowering your rig's centre of gravity, which translates to improved stability on uneven terrain, better cornering response, and enhanced traction when navigating obstacles. This is why experienced RC enthusiasts and competitive crawlers regularly specify brass components for their rigs—the performance gains are real and noticeable during trail runs.
Key Features
- Machined Brass Construction — The differential cover is precisely machined from solid brass, a material choice that provides exceptional durability and maintains a professional appearance whilst delivering genuine performance benefits to your crawling platform.
- Lower Centre of Gravity — By installing this brass cover, you reduce the overall height of weight on your vehicle's chassis, which directly improves stability and handling characteristics, especially when traversing challenging obstacles and steep inclines typical of RC crawling.
- Authentic Axial Branding — The Axial logo is prominently featured on the cover, adding authentic scale detail and demonstrating your commitment to genuine, quality aftermarket upgrades for your hobby grade RC vehicle.
- Lightweight Yet Durable — At just 6.5 grams, this cover adds minimal weight whilst providing maximum durability, ensuring your differential components remain protected from damage during aggressive rock crawling sessions.
- Dual Axle Compatibility — You have the flexibility to install this cover on either the front axle alone or purchase two units to upgrade both the front and rear differentials for complete protection and styling consistency across your vehicle.
- Universal SCX24 and AX24 Fitment — This part is engineered to fit both the Axial 1/24 AX24 XC-1 4WS Crawler and all variants of the SCX24 platform, including the Lexus GX 470, Base Camp, Ford Bronco, Toyota 4Runner, Chevrolet C10, Jeep Wrangler JLU, Dodge Power Wagon, and Jeep Gladiator models, making it one of the most versatile upgrades available for 1/24 scale Axial enthusiasts.
Technical Performance
The AXIAL Differential Cover represents precision engineering at the 1/24 scale. Machined from solid brass—a material specifically chosen for its density and weight distribution properties—this component weighs precisely 6.5 grams, making it light enough to avoid unnecessary mass whilst heavy enough to provide noticeable centre of gravity benefits. The machining process ensures tight tolerances and a professional finish that integrates seamlessly with your existing Axial components. For crawlers operating on the SCX24 and AX24 platforms, differential protection is critical because these vehicles regularly encounter rocky terrain, roots, and obstacles that can potentially damage unprotected components. The brass construction provides superior impact resistance compared to plastic alternatives, significantly extending the operational lifespan of your differential assembly. The design philosophy prioritises both form and function—whilst the visible Axial branding adds scale realism and visual appeal to your build, the internal geometry and mounting system are engineered to provide secure, rattle-free installation. This is a transmission-focused tune-up option that addresses one of the most critical mechanical systems on any RC crawler, and it's compatible with the entire current generation of Axial 1/24 models, from the base Camp recreational platform through to detailed scale models like the Bronco and 4Runner variants.

What You Need to Complete
This is a direct replacement and tune-up part. If you are upgrading an existing Axial SCX24 or AX24 crawler, no additional items are required. If you wish to upgrade both front and rear differentials with matching brass covers for complete styling consistency, you should order two units.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Axial models is this differential cover compatible with? — This cover is engineered specifically for Axial 1/24 scale vehicles, with confirmed compatibility across the entire SCX24 and AX24 model families. This includes the AX24 XC-1 4WS Crawler (available in orange and green), the SCX24 Lexus GX 470 (black, white, and silver), SCX24 Base Camp (blue and white), SCX24 Ford Bronco (multiple colours and the Heritage Edition), SCX24 Toyota 4Runner (orange and grey), SCX24 Chevrolet C10 1971 model (black and orange), SCX24 Jeep Wrangler JLU (green and grey), SCX24 Dodge Power Wagon (orange and green), SCX24 Jeep Gladiator (green, white, and black), and the SCX24 Deadbolt Rock Crawler. Whether you own an ex-display model or a fresh RTR package, this part will fit your vehicle.
- What are the weight and dimension specifications of this brass differential cover? — The cover weighs 6.5 grams, making it an ideal upgrade for crawlers where lower centre of gravity is a priority. The machined brass construction ensures precise fitment without modifications or adjustments to your existing chassis.
- How does a brass differential cover improve performance on an RC crawler? — Brass is denser than plastic, which means it adds weight strategically positioned low on your chassis. This lowers the vehicle's centre of gravity, resulting in improved stability during rock crawling, better cornering grip on uneven terrain, and enhanced traction when climbing obstacles. The weight distribution improvement is especially noticeable when navigating technical trail sections where stability is critical.
- Can I install this cover on just the front axle or should I upgrade both front and rear? — You have complete flexibility. Many RC enthusiasts start by upgrading the front differential to evaluate the handling changes, then purchase a second unit for the rear if desired. For maximum visual consistency and balanced weight distribution, upgrading both differentials is recommended, but a single cover delivers measurable performance benefits.
- Is this a direct replacement part or do modifications need to be made? — This is a direct replacement part. The machined brass cover is engineered to fit seamlessly into your existing Axial transmission assembly without requiring any chassis modifications, cutting, or adjustments. Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC maintenance experience.
- What makes brass superior to plastic for differential covers? — Brass provides superior durability, longer service life, and weight distribution advantages that plastic cannot match. When your RC crawler encounters rocks, roots, and obstacles during trail running, brass components resist damage and deformation far better than plastic alternatives, protecting your expensive differential gears inside.
