Technical Performance
The Axial Clear Body: SCX24 Base Camp Z-AXI-1535 is manufactured from high-quality polycarbonate, a material specifically chosen for RC bodyshells due to its combination of impact resistance, transparency, and durability. Polycarbonate is considerably tougher than ABS plastic and can withstand the rigours of off-road crawling whilst maintaining optical clarity, making it ideal for transparent body applications. At 1/24 scale, this bodyshell is proportioned to fit the compact SCX24 chassis platform perfectly, maintaining authentic scale ratios that enhance the realism of your rock crawler. The un-painted finish means the body arrives ready for customisation, whether through painting, staining, or application of vinyl graphics and decals. The inclusion of window masks demonstrates Axial's commitment to ease of use, as these precision-fit masks eliminate the need for tedious manual masking during the painting process. The transparent nature of the polycarbonate allows the intricate mechanical detail of the SCX24 platform—including the suspension, transmission, and motor components—to remain visible, making this an excellent choice for those who take pride in the quality of their builds. This bodyshell is a genuine OEM component, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility with your SCX24 crawler without requiring any modifications to the chassis or mounting points.

- What is the benefit of a clear polycarbonate bodyshell for my RC crawler? — Clear polycarbonate bodies offer several advantages for RC enthusiasts: they allow you to display the detailed mechanical components and quality of your build, they provide a blank canvas for custom painting and graphics application, they are more impact-resistant than many alternative materials, and they create striking visual effects when displayed indoors with lighting. For those building or customising a ready to run RC crawler, the transparent finish showcases the quality of components like the motor, suspension, and transmission.
- Do I need to paint this bodyshell, or can I leave it clear? — The choice is entirely yours. You can leave the bodyshell clear to showcase the chassis components, or you can paint it using polycarbonate-compatible paints and the included window masks for professional results. Many RC enthusiasts prefer to paint their bodyshells to match their preferred colour scheme or to replicate authentic vehicle liveries.
- What makes this an ideal choice for customisation? — The un-painted finish and included window masks make this bodyshell perfect for customisation projects. Whether you want to apply a factory colour scheme, create a custom paint design, or apply scale graphics and decals, this bodyshell provides the ideal starting point. The window masks eliminate tedious manual masking, saving time and ensuring professional paint lines.
- Is this suitable for beginners to RC crawlers? — Yes, this bodyshell is suitable for all skill levels. If you already own an SCX24 chassis, installing a new bodyshell is a straightforward process. The transparent finish also makes it an excellent educational tool for understanding how RC crawlers work, as you can see all the mechanical components in operation.
- What is the difference between this clear body and painted bodyshell options? — This clear polycarbonate body allows you complete control over the final appearance and showcases your mechanical components. Painted bodyshells offer convenience and immediate ready-to-display aesthetics but limit customisation options. The clear body is ideal for those who enjoy building and personalising their rigs, whilst painted options suit those who prefer straight-out-of-the-box readiness.
