Key Features
- Detailed 1967 Chevrolet C10 Polycarbonate Body in Two Colour Options — The scale body comes factory-finished with authentic 1967 styling that refuses to show its age, featuring a detailed design that captures the classic workhorse appearance of the original full-size truck. The polycarbonate construction provides durability whilst maintaining lightweight characteristics, and the two fresh colour options allow you to choose the finish that matches your preference. For quick and convenient battery access, the body tilts back after removing just two clips, making maintenance and charging straightforward.
- Plush Oil-Filled Shocks — Rather than standard plastic dampers, this rock crawler features genuine oil-filled coil-over shock absorbers that provide a substantially superior ride quality over rough terrain. The suspension can articulate smoothly across bumps and obstacles, and you can fine-tune the handling characteristics by adjusting preload with included 1mm, 2mm, and 4mm spacers. This feature alone transforms how the vehicle responds to real-world rock crawling challenges, soaking up impacts that would bounce a simpler suspension design around.
- Realistic Steel C-Channel Chassis Frame Rails — Just like the acclaimed 1/10 scale SCX10 platform, this 1/24 rock crawler features rugged stamped steel C-channel frame rails with structural bracing to keep everything perfectly aligned and intact during hard impacts. This robust construction approach provides genuine strength and durability that stands up to hard knocks, delivering the kind of lasting performance you expect from a professional-grade rock crawler platform.
- Spektrum SLT2 2.4GHz Radio System — The included two-channel transmitter offers high-end features such as throttle and steering travel adjustment controls, allowing you to customise the driving experience to match your skill level and terrain. The Spektrum SLT2 provides reliable 2.4GHz spread-spectrum technology for interference-free operation, and even four AA transmitter batteries are included in the box to get you on the trail immediately.
- Spektrum 350mAh LiPo Battery and USB Charger — A ready-to-use 7.4V 30C capacity LiPo battery arrives pre-installed, along with a convenient USB charging cable that connects to any standard power source. This eliminates the need to purchase separate batteries or chargers, making this a genuine ready-to-run package that lives up to its RTR classification.
- Two LED Lights in Front Bumper — Bright LED lights are mounted directly in the front bumper assembly, providing illumination for indoor night driving and creating authentic visual appeal. An additional LED light port on the electronic speed controller allows you to add optional LED lights for extended customisation possibilities.
- True Full-Time 4-Wheel Drive System — The 4WD drivetrain provides constant power to all four wheels, delivering the kind of traction and climbing ability essential for serious rock crawling. This system works in harmony with the suspension geometry to maintain consistent grip on uneven surfaces and steep inclines.
- Metal Worm Drive Gears on Front and Rear Axles — Metal worm gears housed within the front and rear differentials provide multiple benefits: increased ground clearance for better obstacle clearance, strong integrated drag brakes that enhance control during descents, and exceptional durability that withstands the stresses of crawling. These gears are engineered for longevity and reliable performance across countless climbing sessions.
- Advanced Suspension Geometry: 3-Link Front and 4-Link Rear — The front suspension uses a three-link design whilst the rear employs a more sophisticated four-link arrangement optimised to reduce axle steer and torque twist. This carefully engineered suspension geometry keeps the vehicle stable and predictable whilst maintaining maximum articulation over rocks and obstacles.
- Solid Axle Housings Front and Rear — Rather than independent suspension, both axles use solid axle design with two-piece molded composite construction. This approach provides the kind of simplicity and durability essential for rock crawling applications where durability and predictability matter more than speed.
- Durable Steel Front and Rear Axles — Steel axle shafts, front stub axles, and dogbones provide the genuine strength and durability needed to keep going during tough climbs and over rough trails without bending or breaking under load.
- Splined Drive Shafts with Sleeved Design — The front and rear drive shafts feature splined connections and sleeve design to allow maximum suspension travel whilst maintaining uninterrupted power delivery to the wheels even when the suspension is fully articulated.
- Dynamite Brushed Motor with Steel Mount — The included Dynamite 88T 030-size brushed electric motor (030 refers to the case diameter in millimetres) provides the ideal amount of torque for making steep climbs without burning out. It's mounted on a steel motor mount that minimises flex and protects the transmission gears from damage.
- Full Ball Bearings Throughout Drivetrain — Just because the SCX24 is small doesn't mean its engineering follows suit. There are absolutely no bushings anywhere in the drivetrain; sealed cartridge ball bearings throughout the entire vehicle allow the drive system to spin freely with minimal friction and maximum efficiency.
- Licensed Method MR307 Hole Wheels and BFGoodrich Krawler Tyres — The MR307 Hole wheel design is a fresh take on the classic hole-wheel concept that dominated early off-road racing. These come fitted with genuine BFGoodrich Krawler T/A KX tyres that have won more rock-crawling championships than all other tyres combined, capturing the same aggressive tread pattern and capability in 1/24 scale format.
- Water-Resistant Electronics and Construction — The vehicle features water-resistant design throughout, making it suitable for wet conditions, stream crossings, and damp terrain that would damage non-protected systems.
Technical Performance
The Axial SCX24 1967 Chevrolet C10 demonstrates impressive performance engineering in a compact 1/24 scale format measuring just 218mm in length, 99mm in width, and 91mm in height with a total weight of only 220 grams. The platform employs a proven full-time 4WD drivetrain system with front and rear solid axles connected through steel shafts and universals. The motor specifications call for a Dynamite 88T 030-size brushed electric motor paired with a 10-tooth pinion gear and 55-tooth spur gear providing appropriate gearing for rock crawling rather than speed. The worm gear differentials feature 16-tooth input and 4-tooth output configurations, creating extremely high gear reduction ratios that deliver the low-speed torque essential for climbing. The 5.2-inch wheelbase combined with 3.9-inch front and rear track width creates a well-proportioned platform with 1.06 inches of ground clearance enhanced by the elevated worm drive differentials. The vehicle accepts 2S LiPo batteries (7.4 volts nominal) through the PH 2.0 connector standard, with the included 350mAh capacity providing runtime sufficient for typical play sessions. The suspension employs adjustable coil-over oil-filled shocks with compression and extension travel between 24mm and 33.4mm, tunable through spacer selection. The Spektrum SLT2 radio system provides two-channel control with proportional steering and throttle functions, featuring high-end features including travel adjustment. All critical drivetrain components use sealed ball bearings rather than bushings, ensuring smooth operation and minimal maintenance. The steel C-channel chassis rails provide structural rigidity that resists flex and bending even under the stresses of aggressive crawling, whilst the polycarbonate body offers protection and authentic scale appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Axial SCX24 1967 Chevrolet C10 suitable for complete beginners? — Absolutely yes. This is classified as a Skill Level 1 ready-to-run vehicle, meaning absolutely nothing requires assembly and everything arrives ready to drive immediately from the box. The compact size makes it easy to control, the four-wheel drive provides excellent traction, and the Spektrum radio system offers travel adjustment features allowing you to limit steering and throttle sensitivity whilst learning. Many professional drivers recommend starting with micro rock crawlers before progressing to larger scales.
- What battery does this rock crawler require, and can I use different packs? — The included Spektrum 350mAh 7.4V 30C LiPo battery is optimised for this platform and provides appropriate runtime for recreational driving sessions. The vehicle accepts any 2S LiPo format battery through the PH 2.0 connector. Higher capacity batteries (such as 500mAh or 1000mAh) provide extended runtime, whilst lower capacity packs offer lighter weight and faster charging. LiPo batteries require appropriate care and charging with a compatible charger, so the included USB charger is specifically designed for this purpose.
- How does the oil-filled shock suspension improve the driving experience compared to plastic dampers? — Oil-filled shocks contain hydraulic fluid that dampens both compression and extension movements, absorbing impacts smoothly rather than allowing the vehicle to bounce. This technology is used on full-size rock crawling vehicles and provides substantially superior ride quality, better traction maintenance, and more predictable handling over obstacles. The preload adjustment using spacers allows you to customise how the suspension responds to your specific terrain and driving style, making this a genuinely tunable platform rather than a fixed-setup toy.
- What is the difference between this 1967 Chevrolet C10 and other SCX24 models from Axial? — Whilst Axial offers several 1/24 scale SCX24 platforms including the Jeep Wrangler JLU, Lexus GX 470, Ford Bronco, Toyota 4Runner, and 1971 Chevrolet C10, the 1967 C10 features distinctive classic styling and slightly different suspension tuning. The chassis platform is fundamentally identical across all SCX24 models, so upgrades and spare parts are largely interchangeable. Choose based on the aesthetic and scale styling that appeals to you.
- Can I drive this rock crawler outdoors in wet conditions? — The vehicle features water-resistant electronics and construction throughout, making it suitable for wet grass, damp terrain, and minor water crossings. However, extended submersion or saltwater exposure is not recommended. After driving in wet conditions, allow the vehicle to dry completely before storing or charging the battery.
- What is the top speed of this 1/24 scale rock crawler? — The Axial SCX24 platform is engineered for low-speed technical crawling rather than high speed. The 030-size motor and high gear reduction ratios from the worm differentials prioritise climbing torque and obstacle negotiation over velocity. Actual speed depends on battery voltage, terrain, and load, but expect modest cruising speeds optimised for control and precision rather than racing performance.
- Does this come with everything needed, or do I need to purchase additional parts? — This is a genuine ready-to-run package that requires absolutely nothing else to begin driving. The battery arrives charged, the radio is bound and functional, the motor is installed, and the suspension is adjusted to reasonable baseline settings. You may choose to purchase optional upgrades such as additional batteries, upgraded shocks, alternative tyres, or LED light modules, but none of these are required for immediate use.
