Overview
The RC Overhaul Magnetic Body Mount (Bronco) SCX24 G-RCO-AX029 is a premium upgrade for your Axial SCX24 Bronco and other compatible 1/24 scale RC models. If you're tired of the bulky velcro body fixing that comes standard on your RC car, or your velcro has lost its grip over time, this magnetic mounting system offers a transformative solution. This neat, professional-grade upgrade replaces the stock velcro system with a clean, reliable magnetic hold that not only looks significantly better but also provides repeatable, secure retention that you can depend on during every driving session.
Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast in the UK looking to enhance your SCX24 collection or a serious basher who wants their rock crawler to look as good as it performs, this magnetic body mount delivers exceptional value. The system is engineered to work seamlessly with a wide range of SCX24 platforms including the Ford Bronco, Jeep Wrangler JLU, Chevrolet C10 trucks, Lexus GX 470, Toyota 4Runner, and Base Camp models. Installation is straightforward enough for most users, and once fitted, you'll enjoy a dramatic improvement in the overall appearance of your ready to run RC vehicle.
Unlike traditional velcro solutions that deteriorate with use and collect dirt, the magnetic mounting system provides a dependable, long-lasting solution that maintains its grip indefinitely. The magnets are precision-engineered to hold your shell firmly in place without sliding or shifting, yet they allow for quick, tool-free body removal when you need to access the chassis or perform maintenance. This is the upgrade that serious SCX24 owners choose when they want their RC car UK setup to look professional and perform reliably.
Key Features
- Magnetic Body Mounting System — Two high-strength magnets work together to securely hold your body shell in place with a firm, repeatable grip that never weakens or loses adhesion like velcro does. This ensures your shell stays exactly where you want it during aggressive driving.
- Straight Mounting Platform — The first magnet attaches to a straight mounting platform that replaces your stock velcro platform using the long bolts and nuts already on your chassis. This design ensures perfect alignment and a clean installation without any modification to your vehicle.
- T-Shaped Inner Body Mount Plate — The second magnet is secured to an intelligently designed T-shaped mount plate that bolts directly to the inner body structure of your Bronco or compatible SCX24 model. This configuration ensures the magnetic surfaces align perfectly for maximum holding power.
- Vastly Improved Appearance — Say goodbye to unsightly velcro strips and hello to a sleek, professional look. The magnetic mounting system hides all fixings completely, giving your SCX24 a finished, clean appearance that looks far more refined than the stock velcro solution.
- Quick and Tool-Free Body Removal — Once the magnetic system is installed, removing and reinstalling your body shell becomes effortless. Simply lift the shell straight off to access your chassis for maintenance, battery changes, or repairs — no tools required.
- Durable and Weather-Resistant — Unlike velcro that gradually degrades from exposure to dirt, dust, moisture, and UV light, magnets provide a permanent solution that won't deteriorate or lose effectiveness over time, even with regular outdoor use.
- Compatible with Multiple SCX24 Models — This upgrade is engineered to work with numerous Axial SCX24 platforms, including the Ford Bronco in various colours, Jeep Wrangler JLU, 1967 and 1971 Chevrolet C10 trucks, Lexus GX 470, Toyota 4Runner, Base Camp crawler, and the Deadbolt rock crawler, giving you flexibility across your collection.
- Easy Installation Process — The installation procedure requires only basic tools and takes minimal time. The included components fit precisely with your existing mounting points, so there's no trimming, drilling, or complicated modifications needed.
Technical Performance
The RC Overhaul Magnetic Body Mount represents a significant engineering improvement over traditional velcro body fixing systems commonly found on Axial 1/24 scale RC crawlers and trucks. The magnetic holding system employs two precision-engineered magnets that work in concert to create a secure, repeatable grip point. The straight platform magnet mounts to the fixed chassis platform using the long bolts and nuts that are already part of your vehicle's assembly, eliminating the need for any additional hardware purchases. The T-shaped inner body plate provides a corresponding magnetic surface that aligns perfectly with the chassis magnet, creating a magnetic field that holds the body shell firmly in place with controlled, even pressure distribution. This design prevents the shell from shifting or rattling during aggressive rock crawling, high-speed bashing, or technical climbing manoeuvres. The magnets are strong enough to maintain a secure hold throughout the full range of driving conditions, yet the grip is not so strong that body removal becomes difficult. The system is particularly valuable for UK RC car enthusiasts who frequently need to access their chassis for maintenance, battery swaps, or component upgrades. Unlike velcro adhesive strips that gradually lose their holding power after weeks or months of use — especially in humid UK conditions — magnetic retention remains consistent and reliable indefinitely, making this a cost-effective long-term solution that eliminates the need for repeated velcro replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the RC Overhaul Magnetic Body Mount compatible with my SCX24 model? — This mount is specifically engineered for Axial 1/24 SCX24 vehicles and is officially listed as compatible with the Ford Bronco 4X4 RTR in green, white, and Heritage Edition finishes, Jeep Wrangler JLU RTR in green and grey, 1967 Chevrolet C10 4WD Truck RTR in orange and black, 1971 Chevrolet C10 4WD Truck RTR in black and orange, Lexus GX 470 4x4 Rock Crawler RTR in white, silver, and black, Toyota 4Runner 4x4 RTR Brushed Rock Crawler in orange and grey, Base Camp 4WD Rock Crawler Brushed RTR in blue and white, and Deadbolt Rock Crawler RTR in green. If your specific model isn't listed, we recommend contacting our team to confirm compatibility before purchase.
- Will the magnets damage my SCX24's electronic components? — No, the magnets in this body mount system are designed specifically for RC vehicles and pose no risk to your receiver, servo, ESC, or battery. The magnets are positioned to interact only with the body shell and mounting plates, creating no interference with any electronics on your chassis.
- How do I install the Magnetic Body Mount on my SCX24? — Installation is straightforward. First, remove your velcro body mounting platform. Attach one magnet to the straight mounting platform and secure it in place using the provided long bolts and nuts on your chassis, replacing your old velcro platform. Next, attach the second magnet to the T-shaped mount plate and bolt this assembly to the inner body of your Bronco or compatible model. Once both magnets are in place and aligned, your shell will be held securely by the magnetic force between them. The entire process takes just a few minutes.
- How strong is the magnetic hold, and will my body shell stay secure during aggressive driving? — The magnets provide a firm, repeatable hold that's specifically calibrated for SCX24 vehicles. During rock crawling, high-speed bashing, jumping, and other demanding driving conditions, the shell remains secure and won't shift or rattle. The magnetic force is strong enough to maintain a positive hold but not so powerful that body removal becomes difficult when you need to access your chassis.
- What's the advantage of magnetic body mounting over the standard velcro system? — Velcro adhesive strips gradually lose their holding strength after repeated use, especially in outdoor UK conditions with moisture and temperature changes. They collect dirt and debris, become unsightly, and eventually require replacement. Magnetic mounting, by contrast, never degrades, provides consistent holding power indefinitely, looks far more professional and refined, and allows quick tool-free body removal. Additionally, the clean, finished appearance of a magnetically mounted shell significantly enhances the overall look of your SCX24.
- Can I easily remove and reattach my body shell? — Yes, one of the primary advantages of magnetic body mounting is the ease of body removal. Simply lift the shell straight off whenever you need to access your chassis. There's no adhesive to peel or velcro to struggle with. You can remove and reattach your body as many times as you like without any degradation in holding performance.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, the Magnetic Body Mount is suitable for users of all skill levels. Installation requires only basic tools and takes minimal time. If you're already comfortable changing batteries or performing simple maintenance on your SCX24, you'll have no difficulty installing this upgrade. The magnetic system is also very user-friendly once installed, with tool-free body removal that's actually easier than managing velcro strips.
- Will the magnets lose strength over time? — No, the permanent magnets used in this system will maintain their magnetic properties indefinitely. Unlike velcro that deteriorates from UV exposure, moisture, temperature changes, and repeated use, magnets retain their full strength throughout their lifespan. This makes the system a permanent, one-time investment that never requires replacement or maintenance.
