Frequently Asked Questions
- Will the RC Overhaul Magnetic Body Mount work with my Axial SCX24 model? — Yes, this magnetic body mount is specifically engineered for multiple Axial 1/24 SCX24 variants including Jeep Wrangler JLU RTR models in grey and green, 1967 Chevrolet C10 4WD Truck RTR in black and orange, Lexus GX 470 4x4 Rock Crawler RTR in white, silver, and black, Base Camp 4WD Rock Crawler Brushed RTR in white and blue, Ford Bronco 4X4 RTR in white and green, Ford Bronco Heritage Edition, Toyota 4Runner 4x4 RTR Brushed Rock Crawler in grey and orange, 1971 Chevrolet C10 4WD Truck RTR in black and orange, and even the SCX24 Deadbolt Rock Crawler RTR. Check your vehicle's specific model number against the comprehensive compatibility list to confirm perfect fitment.
- What's the difference between magnetic mounting and traditional velcro body fixing? — Velcro body fixings gradually lose their holding power through repeated use, dust accumulation, and general wear, leading to loose body shells that rattle and shift during driving. The RC Overhaul Magnetic Body Mount eliminates this problem entirely by providing consistent, never-degrading magnetic holding force that remains perfectly effective through hundreds of use cycles. Additionally, the magnetic system delivers a significantly more professional, custom appearance compared to the functional look of stock velcro configurations.
- Can I install this without drilling holes in my body shell? — Absolutely. The system includes a bolt option for traditional fastening, but you also have the option to glue the magnet directly to your body shell without requiring any drilling or hole-making. This method preserves the complete integrity of your shell whilst still delivering full magnetic holding power. Simply use appropriate plastic-bonding adhesive to secure the second magnet to your body shell and allow it to cure fully before mounting.
- How secure is the magnetic hold during aggressive off-road driving? — Once properly installed and fully secured, the magnetic body mount delivers exceptional holding power that easily withstands aggressive rock crawling, obstacle negotiation, and energetic bashing. The two-magnet design distributes mounting force evenly across the body shell, preventing stress concentration and ensuring your shell remains perfectly secured through the most challenging terrain and driving conditions.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, the RC Overhaul Magnetic Body Mount is perfectly suitable for beginners and experienced RC enthusiasts alike. The installation process is straightforward, requiring only basic tools and approximately 15-20 minutes of your time. The included hardware and detailed design make this an ideal first upgrade for anyone looking to improve their SCX24's performance and appearance without tackling complex mechanical modifications.
- What tools do I need for installation? — Installation requires only basic hand tools including a suitable hex key or Allen wrench for tightening the mounting bolts and nuts. If you choose the glue-in-place option for the body-mounted magnet, you'll need appropriate plastic-bonding adhesive and a means of applying it cleanly. No power tools or specialised equipment are necessary, making this an accessible upgrade for RC enthusiasts of all skill levels.
