Key Features
- Brass construction — Manufactured from brass rather than plastic, these tube caps offer significantly greater durability and resistance to wear, ensuring they will withstand the rigorous demands of repeated use on challenging terrain without cracking or degrading.
- Weight tuning capability — At 30g per pair, these components contribute to precise weight distribution across your RC crawler's rear axle assembly, improving traction, stability and handling characteristics on technical climbing sections and uneven ground.
- Left and right pair — The set includes both left and right caps, providing a complete rear axle upgrade solution so you can refresh both sides of your vehicle's axle assembly simultaneously.
- Genuine Axial component — As an official Axial part (Z-AXI332009), these caps are manufactured to exact OEM specifications, guaranteeing compatibility and reliability with your Axial SCX10 Pro Scaler without modification or fitment issues.
- SCX10 Pro compatibility — These caps are specifically engineered for the Axial SCX10 Pro 1/10 4WD kit, ensuring perfect fitment and integration with your existing axle assembly without any adapters or modifications required.

Technical Performance
These brass rear axle tube caps are engineered as a precision tuning component for serious 1/10 scale RC crawler enthusiasts. The use of brass as the primary material delivers superior hardness and durability compared to the plastic components found on standard builds, meaning your axle assembly will resist impact damage and wear from repeated use on rocks, roots and technical terrain. The 30g total weight of the pair (15g each) has been carefully calculated to optimise weight distribution across the rear axle assembly, improving traction during climbing sections whilst enhancing overall vehicle stability on loose or uneven surfaces. As a direct replacement for the standard Axial SCX10 Pro tube caps, these components require no modification, adapters or additional parts—they simply install into the existing C-AXI03028 axle assembly with perfect fitment. For UK RC drivers running the popular Axial SCX10 Pro 1/10 4WD scaler, these caps represent one of the most effective and affordable chassis tuning upgrades available, delivering tangible improvements to handling and durability without the expense of a complete axle overhaul.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicle are these Axial brass rear axle tube caps designed for? — These caps are engineered specifically for the Axial SCX10 Pro Scaler 1/10 4WD kit (model C-AXI03028). They will not fit other Axial models or RC vehicles from different manufacturers without modification, so it's essential to verify your vehicle compatibility before ordering.
- Why would I upgrade to brass axle tube caps instead of keeping the standard plastic ones? — Brass components offer substantially greater durability and impact resistance compared to plastic, meaning they resist cracking and wear during intense use on rocky, root-laden and technical terrain. Additionally, the weight characteristics of brass provide improved traction and handling compared to lighter plastic alternatives, making this upgrade particularly beneficial for competitive crawling and challenging obstacle courses.
- Will these caps fit my Axial SCX10 Pro without any modification? — Yes, these caps are engineered as direct replacements for the standard tube caps on the Axial SCX10 Pro and will install into the C-AXI03028 axle assembly with perfect fitment. No drilling, grinding, adapters or additional parts are required—they simply swap in place of your existing caps.
- How much do these brass caps weigh? — The complete pair (left and right) weighs 30g, with each individual cap weighing approximately 15g. This weight contributes to improved traction and stability in your RC crawler's rear axle assembly.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — Whilst these caps are compatible with the Axial SCX10 Pro, they represent a performance tuning upgrade rather than an essential component for new users. Beginners can operate their RC crawler perfectly well with standard plastic tube caps, but drivers serious about maximising performance and durability will benefit from this upgrade.
- Is this a complete axle solution or just the tube caps? — This product contains only the left and right tube caps. The complete axle assembly and other components (such as gears, bearings, shafts and housing) are not included and must be purchased separately if needed.
