Key Features

• Magnetic mounting system — This innovative design replaces the stock velcro body fixing with powerful magnets that hold your SCX24 Chevy C10 body securely in place without any adhesive degradation or loss of grip over time.
• Two-magnet platform mounting — The system includes two magnets that fix directly to the mounting platform using the provided long bolts and nuts, ensuring a permanent, stable foundation for your body attachment.
• Flexible body magnet installation — You have the choice to either use the provided bolt to attach matching magnets to your body, or glue them in place without drilling holes, giving you complete flexibility depending on your preference and your body condition.
• Dramatically improved aesthetics — Once installed, the magnetic mounting system delivers a far cleaner, more scale-accurate appearance compared to bulky velcro straps, creating that polished look serious RC enthusiasts demand.
• Superior holding power — The magnetic grip provides a secure hold that won't degrade over time like velcro does, meaning your body stays firmly attached during high-speed runs and rough terrain driving.
• Easy installation and removal — The magnetic design makes it simple to remove your body for maintenance, repairs, or customisation without wrestling with worn-out velcro or adhesive residue.
• Cost-effective upgrade — At under £10, this is an affordable way to transform your RC crawler's appearance and resolve body-mounting issues without significant investment.

Technical Performance

The RC Overhaul Magnetic Body Mount is engineered for the Axial SCX24 1/24 scale platform, a vehicle category that demands precision engineering and reliable components. This mounting system utilises high-strength permanent magnets paired with precision-engineered hardware to create a connection that's both mechanically superior and visually superior to the original equipment. The inclusion of long bolts and nuts ensures proper spacing and alignment on the mounting platform, whilst the dual-magnet design distributes body weight evenly for balanced weight distribution across the chassis. The system's flexibility—allowing either bolted or glued attachment of body magnets—demonstrates thoughtful engineering that accommodates different body types and user preferences. Whether your SCX24 Chevy C10 body is fresh from the factory or showing signs of age, this magnetic system will revitalise its appearance and functionality. The engineering quality is evident in every detail, from the precision of the magnetic elements to the quality of the included hardware, making this one of the most effective upgrade options available for SCX24 owners in the UK RC market.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will the magnetic body mount work with my SCX24 Chevy C10? — Yes, this mount is specifically designed for the Axial SCX24 Chevy C10. It's intended for this platform and replaces your existing velcro body fixings by using the long bolts and nuts to secure magnets to the mounting platform.
• How do I install the magnetic body mount? — Installation is straightforward. First, fix two of the magnets in place on the mounting platform using the provided long bolts and nuts, replacing the stock posts. Then, attach the matching magnets to your body either by bolting them on using the provided bolt, or by gluing them in place if you prefer not to drill holes in your body shell.
• Do I have to drill holes in my body to use this mount? — No, you have the option to glue the magnets directly to your body without making any holes. This is particularly useful if you want to preserve your body shell or if you're using a valuable or rare body shell that you don't want to modify.
• How strong is the magnetic hold? — Once fitted, the system provides a good, secure hold to the shell that's significantly more reliable than worn-out velcro. The magnetic connection won't degrade over time like adhesive-backed velcro does, so it will maintain its grip indefinitely with proper care.
• Will this make my RC car look better? — Absolutely. The magnetic mounting system eliminates the need for visible velcro straps, creating a much cleaner, more scale-accurate appearance that will significantly improve the overall look of your SCX24 Chevy C10 compared to the stock setup.
• Can I remove the body easily with magnetic mounts? — Yes, one of the advantages of this system is that your body can be easily removed and reattached as needed for maintenance, cleaning, repairs, or customisation, without any of the struggle associated with deteriorating velcro.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, installation is simple enough for beginners, though basic tools (screwdriver, spanner or socket set) will be needed. The process is more straightforward than many RC upgrades, making it an ideal first modification for someone looking to improve their SCX24.
• What is the difference between this and stock velcro fixing? — The stock velcro fixing loses its grip over time as the adhesive deteriorates, and it creates a visually bulky appearance. The magnetic system never loses its holding power, looks cleaner and more professional, and is easier to use for repeated body removal and installation.
