Overview
Transform your Axial SCX24 micro crawler with the RC Overhaul Wheel Extender 4pcs Brass +4mm (G-RCO-AX006), a precision engineering upgrade designed specifically for 1/24 scale RC enthusiasts. Whether you're a beginner exploring the world of micro crawlers or an experienced RC car UK hobbyist looking to enhance your vehicle's performance, these brass wheel hex extenders offer a straightforward yet effective modification that makes a noticeable difference to handling and stability on technical terrain. The RC Overhaul brand has built a reputation for quality spare parts and upgrades that deliver genuine improvements, and these wheel extenders are no exception.
Designed to work seamlessly with a wide range of Axial SCX24 variants including the Jeep Wrangler JLU, Chevrolet C10 trucks, Lexus GX 470, Ford Bronco, Toyota 4Runner, and numerous other popular ready to run RC models, these brass extenders solve two common issues faced by SCX24 owners. The plastic wheel hex on standard SCX24 models can be prone to wear and damage during aggressive rock crawling or repeated impacts, and the relatively narrow track width can affect stability in challenging conditions. These brass upgrades address both concerns whilst offering excellent value for money.
As an authorised UK RC retailer, RC Model Shop stocks the full range of RC Overhaul components and upgrades, ensuring you're buying genuine products with full manufacturer backing. These wheel extenders are perfect for anyone wanting to upgrade their Axial SCX24 without embarking on a complete rebuild or replacement programme.
Key Features
- Brass Construction — Manufactured from durable brass material, these wheel hex drives are significantly more robust than the plastic hexes on standard SCX24 models, providing enhanced durability and longevity during rock crawling, climbing, and general off-road use on demanding terrain.
- 4mm Track Width Extension — By adding 4mm of width to each wheel (8mm total when fitted to both sides), these extenders increase your SCX24's overall track width, which substantially improves stability and cornering confidence when navigating obstacles, tight terrain, and technical crawling sections.
- Improved Handling Characteristics — The wider stance combined with the brass construction allows for better weight distribution and more predictable handling behaviour, making your micro crawler easier to control through complex courses and uneven ground.
- Protective Design — By replacing the vulnerable plastic wheel hex with a brass alternative, you effectively eliminate one of the most common failure points on SCX24 models, protecting your investment and reducing the need for replacement parts after hard use.
- Precision Engineering — Manufactured to exacting specifications with a 7mm hex drive, 3mm thickness, and precision-machined dimensions, these extenders integrate perfectly with standard SCX24 components without requiring any modification to your chassis or suspension.
- Complete Installation Kit — Each set includes the long wheel nut required for proper assembly and replacement drive pins, ensuring you have everything needed for trouble-free installation on all four wheels.
Technical Performance
The RC Overhaul Wheel Extender represents a considered engineering upgrade rather than a cosmetic modification. Constructed from brass—a material chosen specifically for its combination of strength, durability, and workability—these hex extenders significantly outperform the standard plastic components found on ready to run SCX24 models. The 7mm hex specification ensures full compatibility with all standard Axial hex pinion gears and corresponding wheel mounting systems, whilst the 3mm thickness provides adequate material to withstand the forces generated during rock crawling and technical driving without flexing or deformation. The addition of 4mm per side represents a 16mm increase in total track width, a dimension carefully calculated to improve stability without affecting the vehicle's ability to squeeze through tight gaps or creating excessive understeer on fast terrain. These extenders are finished to the highest manufacturing standards, with precise tolerances and smooth surfaces that ensure repeatable performance across multiple climbs and courses. Whether you're running these on the Jeep Wrangler JLU, Chevrolet C10 4WD, Lexus GX 470 rock crawler, Ford Bronco, Toyota 4Runner, Base Camp, or Deadbolt variants, the consistent fit and finish across all SCX24 platforms ensures reliable performance without compatibility issues or installation complications.
What's in the Box
- Four brass wheel extenders (7mm hex, 3mm thick, 4mm extra wide)

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Axial SCX24 models are compatible with these wheel extenders? — These brass hex extenders are designed for all Axial 1/24 SCX24 variants, including the Jeep Wrangler JLU (Green and Grey), 1967 Chevrolet C10 4WD (Orange and Black), 1971 Chevrolet C10 4WD (Black and Orange), Lexus GX 470 4x4 Rock Crawler (White, Black, and Silver), Base Camp 4WD Rock Crawler (Blue and White), Ford Bronco 4X4 (Green and White), Ford Bronco Heritage Edition 4X4, Toyota 4Runner 4x4 Rock Crawler (Orange and Grey), SCX24 Deadbolt Rock Crawler, and the AX24 XC-1 platform. If you're unsure whether your specific model is supported, contact our team at RC Model Shop and we'll confirm compatibility before you purchase.
- Will these extenders fit my stock SCX24 without any other modifications? — Yes, these brass hex extenders are designed as a direct replacement for the stock plastic wheel hexes and require no chassis modifications, suspension adjustments, or additional parts to install. Simply remove your existing wheels, swap out the plastic hexes for the brass extenders, and reinstall your wheels using the supplied long wheel nuts. The whole process typically takes under 15 minutes for all four wheels.
- What is the advantage of brass over the standard plastic hexes? — Brass offers superior durability, resistance to impact damage, and a longer service life compared to plastic components. The plastic hexes on standard SCX24 models are prone to cracking, stripping, or breaking during hard crawling sessions or when the vehicle impacts rocks and obstacles at awkward angles. Brass hexes will not crack or split, maintain their integrity through hundreds of climbs and technical manoeuvres, and provide a much more reliable mounting interface for your wheels. Additionally, brass provides a small amount of weight increase which can benefit traction in certain conditions.
- How much wider does my SCX24 become with these extenders fitted? — Each extender adds 4mm of width per wheel, resulting in an 8mm total increase in track width across the vehicle (4mm on each side). This 8mm increase translates to measurably improved stability, particularly noticeable when traversing side slopes, navigating over rocks and obstacles, and during high-speed cornering on flat terrain. The increased track width also helps prevent tip-overs on challenging technical courses where the original narrower stance might prove problematic.
- What do the replacement drive pins do and why are they included? — The drive pins are internal components that transfer rotational force from the hex to the wheel, securing the wheel firmly to the extender. RC Overhaul includes spare drive pins recognising that these are consumable components which may occasionally wear out or get lost during maintenance or wheel changes. Having spares on hand means you can keep your SCX24 running without ordering additional parts.
- Will these extenders work with aftermarket wheels and tyres designed for SCX24? — Yes, these brass hex extenders utilise the same 7mm hex specification as the original Axial components, ensuring full compatibility with any wheel designed to fit standard SCX24 platforms. Whether you're using the wheels that came with your vehicle or have upgraded to aftermarket alternatives from suppliers like Injora or Treal Hobby, these extenders will work perfectly.
- How do these compare with other wheel extender options available for SCX24? — The RC Overhaul +4mm extenders offer an excellent balance of performance, value, and reliability. Whilst some alternatives offer different extension widths (+3mm or +5mm), the +4mm specification provides the optimal balance between improved stability and maintained manoeuvrability. The RC Overhaul units feature precision manufacturing, robust brass construction, and come with all necessary hardware including replacement drive pins, representing excellent value compared to imported alternatives or premium aftermarket options.
